  • TGI review

    Helps me keep track of paradise until the day I can move to Kauai!!! NEVER miss the printed paper when I’m there and wish I could get it in Michigan 😊
  • Much much better

    App runs really well
  • Updated on the News on Kauai

    Enjoying all the Articles so happy to see familiar faces back home. Can’t wait to return to my Home Island.
  • Works... Most of the time

    I’ve had the app for many years. I like the slow crescendo of the selected alarm tone. The big flaw is that the alarm will randomly not sound. The screen shows the alarm, but no sound! At first I thought it related to Bluetooth connectivity. After checking that my phone is not connected to any Bluetooth devices except my Apple Watch many times, the random silence still occurs. I adopted a routine of rebooting my iPhone and restarting the app every night before going to sleep. This seems to help. I also have a backup alarm with the iPhone phone app. A silent wake up alarm has caused issues getting to work on time.

    Solve the random silence and this is a 4-5 ⭐️app.

  • A wonderful alternative to costly Paper/recycling!

    I love this version of the Garden Island. So easy to reference and so valuable for the local look at what happens. Island voices. I prefer more local viewpoints, but it now goes through Honolulu oversight, so not as intimate as it once was. Nevertheless, the best thing on Island. Though I confess For Kaua’i should also be included.

  • Love the Print Replica

    I really like the print replica way of viewing the newspaper. So much easier to scroll the paper to desired articles and skim over less desirable areas. It’s a little quirky with iPhone and jumps around when zooming in and out which can be hard to deal with. But the print replica is crucial for me.

  • Very poor interface.

    Even this review is clumsy.
  • Account login now required since last update

    As soon as it told me an account was now required to view content - and that the content would be restricted to 10 articles - I deleted this app.
