### 3/5 — Fix your account connection

*2026-07-01, version 8.10.2*

This app is bad at most things outside of opening an article and reading it. It always has trouble signing in, my subscription purchase on desktop didn’t register with the app until I deleted and reinstalled it, and the few account customizations there are have glitches. I’ve been a reader for years but this is mediocre. Gannet is a huge corporation and should really have a better app base to work off of.

### 4/5 — Coloradoan eNewspaper

*2025-12-21, version 8.6.0*

I like the new format of the Coloradoan eNewspaper. Like the option of being able to get only the digital format of the Coloradoan as receiving the paper version on Wednesday’s and Sundays through the mail is very inconvenient. In addition lowering the price for only the digital version is a great option. It would be nice if the local grocery ads or links were were available with the digital version rather than having to go to there respective apps.
Thanks,
Ron Pantier

### 2/5 — Terrible subscription controls

*2025-09-07, version 8.1.0*

I HATE this App.  Among other things it has no tools for putting holds on print delivery while on travel.  Clearly the future of print delivery is bleak, but you could at least try….  Also the app makes it ever clearer that local reporting is mostly dead.  This is a USA Today bot, essentially.

### 4/5 — Improvements noted

*2025-07-02, version 8.1.0*

Thanks for all your attention to improving the reading experience ❗️The bar at the bottom of the screen is super useful! I’m able to get to specific sections far easier than before recent improvements. Awesome work 🤓❗️

### 4/5 — Love seeing local news

*2025-06-17, version 8.1.0*

Love the news, not so sure about the software…

### 4/5 — Improvements noted

*2025-06-06, version 8.1.0*

Thanks for all your attention to improving the reading experience ❗️

### 3/5 — Comics and dear Abby column

*2025-06-06, version 8.1.0*

Very hard to access them because they are not specifically listed on the new app.

### 4/5 — Good local news

*2025-06-05, version 8.1.0*

The Coloradoan keeps up with local NoCO news.

### 3/5 — New app less readable

*2025-05-12, version 8.1.0*

After weeks of pop-up screen asking me to upgrade - and blocking access until hitting cancel - I finally upgraded and deleted the old app. Bad decision. I wish I still had the old version.

New app has “useful” (not) menus at the side and bottom that shrink page view just enough to be annoying on my iPad Pro. And there’s no hide menu option. It is what it is. Um, thanks for that “upgrade”.

### 1/5 — No real info

*2025-04-07, version 8.1.0*

Coloradoan keeps over billing me.  There is NO billing information on the app.

### 3/5 — Needs a Small Update for “Swipe Mode” Reading

*2025-03-06, version 8.1.0*

In landscape mode, Fit to page width, the “Next Page” button should go to top of page - not to same point as current page.  Also button “margins” are very “tight” - too easy to accidentally select page article or item in sidebar.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2026-05-17, version 8.10.1*

Locks up several times every day while I read the paper. Restarts with no reason. Makes me want to cancel the on line paper.

### 1/5 — No Letters to the Editor

*2025-10-01, version 8.5.4*

Submitting comments on an article in the paper and I received immediate return form notice - the Coloradoan is not accepting letters to the editor. We know what Ben Franklin had to say about that - he put it in writing long ago. One week later and journalist has not responded. Online Paper seems to have degraded to just reporting a few stories, abnormally high ratio of sports stories.

### 1/5 — Choked with awful ads even in paid version

*2025-07-12, version 8.1.0*

If you pay money to support your local news, you get the same impossible to read format with ads every two inches. I won't renew.

### 1/5 — Enewspaper No Longer Available in App

*2025-06-18, version 8.1.0*

After disabling the old enewspaper app, the enewspaper can no longer be loaded into the Coloradoan app now, and the only way view it is to go to a browser now on my iPad to view.  Horrible customer experience…I will be cancelling my subscription.

### 1/5 — Need customer support

*2025-06-11, version 8.1.0*

App was stuck in a loop. Had to call customer support to get that fixed. Then it wouldn’t open subscribed content. Fortunately support was still online and could fix that also.

App does not reflect what is in the paper.  It’s a very poor substitute for a real newspaper.  Now that there is no Saturday paper it shows just how much worse it is.

Today the app doesn’t even have all the articles from the print edition.  Clearly not a replacement.

### 1/5 — How lame can you make this paper - it scares me to contemplate this

*2025-05-24, version 8.1.0*

Don’t publish on Sat - new e-news app that doesn’t work / you guys just get worse and worse - the threshold of behind the only local newspaper is not going to be enough to keep me subscribing…

### 1/5 — Terrible app.

*2025-05-24, version 6.10.0*

Where are the box scores for sports.Can’t read the comics! Going to cancel!

### 1/5 — Nothing

*2025-05-23, version 8.1.0*

Long time subscriber (nearly 15 years) - switch to new app and enewspaper on iPad is just blank - it worked once.  I am paying for nothing at this point and no response from the support email.

### 1/5 — New App

*2025-05-21, version 7.11.2*

So I downloaded your new app and now it won’t let me see the enewspaper and you won’t let me go back to the old app. I’m not impressed at all and wish I hadn’t tried your new app! 😤

### 1/5 — Completely unusable

*2025-04-15, version 8.1.0*

I am old school and like the paper in a tradition format. This new formate is chaotic, random, and no apparent order or structure to the information. It is so bad I will most likely cancel my subscription unless there is an option to return to the traditional format.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Much better!

*2026-04-01, version 8.9.0*

Much better response from the app!

### 5/5 — Vacation holds

*2025-12-17, version 8.6.0*

Where do I do vacation hold?

### 5/5 — Love my newspaper

*2025-10-15, version 8.5.4*

Easy to access and well designed

### 5/5 — The NoCO Source

*2025-09-22, version 8.5.0*

The paper has gotten better as it concentrates on local activity, and deploys a USA Today section for national news. Not cheap, but options for local news are limited.

### 5/5 — Love my newspaper

*2025-07-25, version 8.1.0*

Easy to access and well designed

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-07-21, version 8.1.0*

Love the newspaper on line and love being able to access other editions from other cities.

### 5/5 — Easy to read!!!

*2025-05-30, version 8.1.0*

Easy to read!!!

### 5/5 — Much better!

*2025-05-11, version 8.1.0*

Much better response from the app!

### 5/5 — Neighborhood news

*2024-12-21, version 7.14.0*

This newspaper tells local news for our community. We are 1 hour away from Denver so not everything that happens here is seen in the Denver news. I love knowing what happens locally.

### 5/5 — Coloradoan eNewspaper

*2024-10-27*

I like the new format of the Coloradoan eNewspaper. Like the option of being able to get only the digital format of the Coloradoan as receiving the paper version on Wednesday’s and Sundays through the mail is very inconvenient. In addition lowering the price for only the digital version is a great option. It would be nice if the local grocery ads or links were were available with the digital version rather than having to go to there respective apps.
