### 5/5 — Good local newspaper

*2026-07-29, version 8.10.2*

The Enquirer is a very good local newspaper. We need their independent voice now more than ever.

### 2/5 — Third Rate

*2026-07-13, version 8.10.2*

News comes 2-3 days late. Poorly edited. If a complete stranger read the paper, the only things that happened in Cincinnati was shootings, crime, and sports with ads for home improvement.

### 1/5 — Would give zero stars if I could

*2026-07-04, version 8.10.2*

Login credentials not ever recognized. 
States I need to login while I am logged in.
Wants me to subscribe even though I am a subscriber.

### 5/5 — Great content

*2026-06-28, version 8.8.1*

Thank you for keeping this format going

### 1/5 — Markup

*2026-05-19, version 8.10.1*

Since installing this app now markup brings blurry images in puzzles

### 3/5 — Disappointing

*2026-05-10, version 8.9.0*

While I will continue  to subscribe, the content of the newspaper edition is very disappointing. Superficial articles, too many adds. My subscribing is based solely on the need for the app and history of reading the newsprint each morning since age 5.

### 1/5 — Would give zero stars if I could

*2026-05-06, version 8.9.0*

Login credentials not ever recognized. 
States I need to login while I am logged in.
Wants me to subscribe even though I am a subscriber.

### 5/5 — Morning News

*2026-04-25, version 8.9.0*

The morning paper is delivered every day before I search for it. It is great for keeping up with the local scene.

### 5/5 — The paper and its glory digitized

*2026-04-04, version 8.9.0*

It is always a joy to read The Enquirer. As much as I love the actual paper, the digital version is excellent, easy to navigate and adaptable to be consumed in the manner originally intended and in HTML format if one chooses. The journalistic quality is the backbone of it all, and one that would be hard to do without. Keep the great work, Cincinnati Enquirer Team!

### 3/5 — Liberal slant

*2026-02-15, version 8.8.0*

We are giving you another try after cancelling a few years back due to your extreme anti Trump slant. We are hoping you are more moderate and present a variety of opinions in your editorials.
