A morning without the Gazette is like a morning without tea. Even though it has gotten more liberal and expensive lately I still think it’s important to keep our daily local paper. We have had the same carrier for years and greatly appreciate him. He’s as reliable as the sun. June Heimsoth.bijou June
Worst News App but the Gazette Obviously Doesn’t Care
I don’t see how this app gets 4.3 stars unless most reviewers are bots. This app needs a lot of work, but it only seems to get worse. Today, the links and comments in the E-Edition don’t work; taps just zoom in or out. It repeats stories in the feed, and rarely is the day’s top story near the top of the front page or the Top Stories page. Instead, Top Stories lists stories from days ago. Heck, most stories in today’s print edition are difficult or impossible to find in the app. How about giving extra weight to recent stories instead of keeping 2 week old stories near the top only because they were popular for a day or two? Why does the app reset and lose my current reading location if I let my iPad sleep for a few minutes?!! The website is bad, but this app is worse and seems to get worse with each update. And don’t get me started on the poor editing and the takeover by the Washington Examiner. We only subscribe to the digital edition, but I’m not sure for how much longer before we switch to the Denver Post. Are the Gazette and Washington Examiner so poor that you can’t afford decent developers for your app? How do you expect to get more views, and thus more ad revenue, when you have one of the worst apps in the world? Do you even know what it takes to have a quality news app? Maybe your executive leadership should be replaced along with your software developers.Show lessTerry & Sara
need more National and world news
I think the Gazette needs to expand the National and world news sections with everything going on these days, including the bad news. The United States as a whole is on a declining trajectory on the world stage and the citizens need to hear more about that so they can be warned.Rousch98

The e-edition (really just a facsimile of the print edition) is constantly closing after a few minutes of inaction by the reader. Each time this happens it forces me to reopen the e-edition and find my place again - not what would happen with a print edition.
On the other hand, if I try to read by clicking on individual stories, the formatting is really distracting, with missing and repeated lines and poor copy editing. Since the copy editing is already pretty bad in the print/e-edition, the level of distraction from poor grammar/spelling/usage becomes just too high for pleasurable reading.Show lessAlan-0n-a-Bike

I’m using the app to read the e-edition. I still like the layout/presentation in the traditional newspaper format, but want to be conscientious about the impact actual paper production makes on the environment. The problem is that many times when I click on the blue highlighted headline to read the entire article when it does not appear entirely on one page, it simply spins (I use an iPad) and forces me to leave the e-edition and reopen it to read the paper.Show lessMeganne139

Instead, Top Stories lists stories from days ago. How about giving extra weight to recent stories instead of keeping 2 week old stories near the top only because they were popular for a day or two? One of the most annoying problems is how many stories open in an internal browser instead of the app. This would be fine if it didn’t pop up ads along with a window requiring me to log in. I’m logged into the app! The website is bad, but this app is worse. When reading the digital edition, formatting of text is all wrong, and headlines often don’t belong with the story. It’s almost enough for me to switch to the Denver Post.Show lessApp not working properly
What’s the deal with the Gazette App? Normally it works great. For the past five days all I can read is the first page and then all the other pages are locked? I re-logged into the App and had the same problem.News Deficient
Buggy, poorly designed
The site is down too often. Not designed for how users want to read and navigate. Confusing non-intuitive buttons.Sheepdog7
