### 5/5 — Finally ready for prime time

*2026-07-11, version 3.34.04*

A local newspaper with updated functions. A pleasure to read. Easy to use. On par with the likes of the WSJ.

### 5/5 — Hyper local

### 5/5 — Excellent Local Newspaper!

*2025-07-22, version 3.18.20*

Often times we lean toward criticizing reputable news sources rather than being thankful that local journalism exists. Without diligent reporters, editors, layup pros and photographers we would be uninformed and out of touch with what’s happening in Bozeman, MT and the surrounding areas (not to mention the addition of national and international news). My thanks to the staff at the “Bozeman Daily Chronicle” for their continuing efforts to provide us with journalistic excellence.

### 5/5 — Love BDC

My only complaint is that the stories are sometimes updated in batches, not as they break.

### 5/5 — Easy to use!

*2025-01-02, version 3.11.02*

The BDC app is so easy to use.  I like that I can adjust the font size and easily go to the sections and pages that I want to read.  If I missed an edition I can go to the archives and find it.

### 5/5 — User friendly

*2024-08-14, version 3.11.02*

This app is user friendly.  I can adjust the font size easily and jump to different sections easily as well.
