### 1/5 — Worst App ever

*2021-06-04, version 130.2*

This is absolutely the worst app that the Chas Gazette has had, the constant clearing of the website data and/or deleting the app then reinstalling almost on a weekly basis is absolutely ridiculous!  Is there any new developments to update or replace?  They need  an app that works order to retain the online customers.  If nothing is done, I will cancel my subscription.

### 1/5 — Poor on IPad

*2020-09-21, version 121.6*

While the newspaper is good, the app design is not.  It will not “remember” my login credentials, and the login screen itself will not work without clearing cookies and browser history.    It not only takes extra steps every day just to view the paper, but also results in my having losing my browser history for everything else.  The previous app version worked MUCH better.

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2020-05-13, version 5.1*

Since the redesign of this once useful app, you now need an account to view stories. No thanks.

### 2/5 — Not good

*2020-04-27, version 5.1*

Can not get stories to open with new app. Returns to menu.

### 1/5 — Sad to see the change

*2020-04-22, version 5.1*

I’ve had this app for years, almost since they first brought it out.  Now the changes hit and it’s harder than ever to use and only certain stories can be accessed without a membership.  I delivered this newspaper 30 years ago and now I can’t read it anymore.  This was probably the first app I ever had and I’m deleting it.  What a disappointment.

### 5/5 — E-Edition

*2019-12-16, version 4.21.280024361*

We love the E-Edition.  It is. A piece of home while we are away from home.

### 1/5 — Too Liberal

*2019-10-24, version 4.21.280024361*

Too many reprints from that liberal rag, the Washington Post.  I would think more balanced coverage would increase sales, but it appears the purchasers have some sort of financial death wish and refuse to budge. Last time I checked, WV leans conservative while the Gazette-Mail continues to accelerate its demise.

### 4/5 — Smiles and frowns

*2019-01-10, version 4.21.280024361*

I think The Charleston Gazette/mail is one of the best actual news papers I have read. I subscribe to the paper mainly for the comics and puzzles and crosswords.  I was very disappointed today to find fewer comics and no puzzles or crosswords. If this is a permanent reduction then I will cancel my subscription.

### 5/5 — Great Newspaper

*2018-06-08, version 4.21.280024361*

Been reading Gazette-Mail all my life, in fact learned to read from the Sunday comics. They were two full pages, front and back. Now, read online, 400 miles away. Like an old friend every morning with coffee.

### 1/5 — Recent changes

*2017-12-15, version 4.21.280024361*

Has previously been a reliable, quick source for local news. Recently the pop-up ads make it impossible to make it through even one full sentence. Pretty sad.
