*2017-02-08*

This is a great information highway but there is always greed in the way this should not cost nothing period you tease us with a glimpse then tell us pay us this is wrong on every level information can save lives but everyone is always out to make a buck I guess even if the cost is someone's life, someone's son, daughter, mother, father, brother, sister, etc!!

Nice to have info at your fingertips.  Only wish that there was a way to also see entire print pages because sometimes not all content is in this app.

### 1/5 — One sided news

*2023-08-05*

If both sides of stories are given, then it’s just PROPAGANDA for the paper’s  owners &/or advertisers. I see no opposing views on Issue 1 stories. I canceling my subscription.

### 1/5 — New app?

*2022-11-28*

It appears we can no longer access previous editions I may not have had time to read that day! That is not a good change.

### 1/5 — Pay for News?

*2020-04-27*

There are not enough new stories to pay for this app. Not to mention you would think Coronavirus information would be unlocked for Chillicothe’s safety.

### 1/5 — So little content

*2019-07-22*

Need less local HS sports

### 1/5 — Don’t Subscribe

*2018-12-28*

They make it almost impossible to cancel your subscription. I still haven’t been able to cancel mine. It keeps saying there is an error when I hit the button to unsubscribe.

### 2/5 — Long time subscriber

*2020-04-17*

Always have gotten print edition and prefer that style format. This app is ok, not my favorite. Maybe I haven’t looked hard enough but are there no comics in this version?

### 2/5 — Gazette

*2012-08-03, version 1.0.1*

Downloaded the app and followed subscribe procedures. $10/month for Gazette ? Come on man, get real.

### 3/5 — More Chilli sports cover

*2021-04-14*

After living in Cincinnati for the past 10 years the Gazette on my phone has been such a great thing for helping me keep up with all the hometown news. The only thing I wish they would change would be more coverage of Chillicothe High School sports! I mean seriously it is called the Chillicothe Gazette. But outside of that I am very satisfied with everything else.

### 3/5 — A person in Cincinnati who is originally from Chillicothe

*2019-11-01*

Love the Gazette app but the one area I am totally disappointed at is the lack of coverage of the Chillicothe High school Sports programs. I know you have to give balanced coverage to your SVC and surrounding communities but the truth is this News Paper is called the CHILLICOTHE Gazette and it should prioritize what happens in the High school of the city it represents. I have to go to WBEX/ WKKJ websites just to get game details and stats or get on Litter Media to see any side stories about the Cavalier sports programs. Tonight Chilli plays Jackson for a possible share of a league title and there have been no stories to help build up the hype for this game. This year the Basketball team has Crosstown showdown games with Unioto and Zane Trace and they play two time state champion in powerhouse Moeller at Hatton gym. So my only request is please step up the coverage of the team your City and Newspaper represents  Thank you from this Cincinnati reader.

### 3/5 — Chillicothe Gazette review

*2018-10-21*

I wish I did not have to open the paper to mug shots. If it is necessary to show them, please tuck them in a section devoted to crime. Their prominent display makes readers think of Chillicothe as a place full of low-lifers. 

On a positive note, I like that you show prom nights and county fair highlights. And I always like Jona Ison’s articles.
