### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2022-06-12, version 3.6.07*

I completely stopped reading the paper version. 
The organization of the app is kind of strange—the opinion section is often after the sports section.

### 4/5 — It Works

*2022-05-08, version 3.6.07*

Takes a while to get used to it, but it works.  Nice to have multiple ways to read your online newspaper but we are quite happy to have this.  One issue:  the “offline” warning pops up in just about every session.  Maybe it is because we are accessing this via the VPN, or maybe it is because our ISP idles down if you have been reading a long article without changing the page.  However, we seldom have any problem seeing the content, so mostly a moot point.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2022-04-10, version 3.6.07*

After using the app for a week, you’ll never go back to the paper edition

### 5/5 — Easy to navigate the e-edition

*2022-01-04, version 3.5.06*

Love reading the local paper online

### 4/5 — Digital newspaper

*2021-11-28, version 3.5.06*

Travel a lot so enjoy getting my local paper each morning.

### 5/5 — Like reading a real printed newspaper but better

*2021-11-27, version 3.5.06*

I love the search features and bringing up the text in a easy to read format.

### 5/5 — Boulder Daily Camera

*2021-11-20, version 3.5.00*

Given the Denver Post’s decision to no longer be a real newspaper, it is nice to have a paper like the Daily Camera which reports local, regional, and national news.

### 5/5 — Great local coverage

*2021-11-10, version 3.5.00*

In an increasingly global world, local news coverage is even more important.

### 5/5 — Love reading the Daily Camera

*2021-11-03, version 3.5.00*

Getting the paper on my iPad is great!
I live with a rural mailbox so having the paper with my morning coffee in my slippers is a luxury. Having the weather and the local news right at my fingertips is so important and the only way to start my day!

### 4/5 — From a subscriber

*2021-11-02, version 3.5.00*

Love being able to read about the gappenibgs in Boulder from afar.

### 4/5 — Useful

*2021-10-02, version 3.3.14*

Not much to say since it is just a copy of the paper. The app works.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t use

*2023-01-26, version 4.0.0*

Can’t log in. Payed for subscription. When I try to log on, the “authenticating” wheel just keeps on turning forever. I’ve tried on three devices. What gives?

### 1/5 — Access to previous editions

*2022-11-21, version 4.0.0*

I've always been able to go back through previous editions of the Daily Camera. 
The latest version of the app will not let me look at all previous editions, unless I've downloaded them. This is extremely short-sighted. When I received the hardcopy version, I would keep old editions around for quite a while, so that, when I had time, I could go back through and look at different articles. I often didn't have time to look at the paper, the day it came.
I'm very disappointed in the new app.

### 1/5 — New version of the Camera app is awful

*2022-11-20, version 4.0.0*

The new version of this app eliminated the navigation sidebar. Ads pop up every time I touch the screen. And I can’t access my account info online. Every time the Daily Camera offers a new r-edition version, quality goes down, just like the content.

### 1/5 — Outdated interface

*2021-11-08, version 3.5.00*

It’s time to rewrite the application and build an interface that keep up with the times of how news apps function.

### 1/5 — they collect too much information

*2021-04-23, version 3.2.64*

for a newspaper we have to pay to read, they collect too much information.

### 2/5 — Crashes a lot.

*2022-06-16, version 3.6.07*

Please work on this.

### 3/5 — Login

*2024-03-27, version 4.0.0*

Requires login too frequently. Seemingly weekly.

### 3/5 — Missing “download for offline reading”

*2023-03-21, version 4.0.0*

Mostly the app works okay. I miss the ability to download an edition for offline reading, which was a very useful feature of the old DC app.

### 3/5 — App has no memory

*2021-11-16, version 3.5.00*

This app is a reasonable way to read the paper if traveling away from physical paper, but… the type setting is horrible and every time you bring up the app it takes forever and doesn’t maintain your position.

### 3/5 — Boulder Daily Camera

*2021-11-12, version 3.5.00*

The Ap for the Boulder Daily Camera is well laid out and easy to read.

### 5/5 — Hometown paper

*2022-07-05, version 3.6.07*

I’ve been reading a daily camera for the past 54 years. I’m proud to support local reporting for as long as it exists .  This app works best on an iPad, but I’ve referenced it through my iPhone as well.I like the option of reading it like a paper or clicking on an article and having it fill the screen

### 5/5 — Easy to read
