### 1/5 — Sad

*2026-06-29, version 4.0.1*

The “news” is mostly the same as two days ago. Stale. The app is very awkward to use. It’s a saD day for the CM.

### 1/5 — New format

*2025-10-08, version 4.0.1*

I do not like the new format.

### 1/5 — Missing paper

*2025-10-02, version 4.0.1*

The Sunday November 28, 2021 paper is not showing. Where is it? Why do I need a Nick name to send? My nickname taken

October 2, 2025.  Ever since the Concord Monitor app was changed a week or so ago I can’t read it on my iPad. The app won’t load.  Not happy

### 1/5 — New format is confusing

*2025-08-29, version 4.0.0*

Please change back to the previous format.  I can not easily find the day or articles.

### 1/5 — New digital version

*2025-08-27, version 4.0.0*

I usually like new things, but the Monitor has changed from an easily used and readable paper to something that is difficult to use.  Please give us the option of using the old format.  It was much easier to sit and read like one reads the physical paper.

### 1/5 — Paper

*2025-08-25, version 4.0.0*

Do not like the new e-paper. Very confusing and its hard to get around.  I’m 74 years old and it took me a long one to get use to the old  design and now here we go again!!!

### 1/5 — New reversion

*2025-08-25, version 4.0.0*

This update is not user friendly and very cumbersome to use.

### 4/5 — Two suggestions

*2025-06-23, version 3.18.05*

Overall I am enjoying the app but there are two things I miss from the e-edition of the last newspaper I subscribed to. 1) Double clicking to pull up the article view should be full screen instead of half screen 2) When using the Read view and moving about the page, zooming in and out with the mousepad, I would like the page to stay where I put it instead of “snapping to” some sort of invisible grid as happens frequently. See the Portland Press Herald e-edition for examples of these. Thank you and keep up the good work.

### 4/5 — I like it

*2025-04-08, version 3.18.05*

I enjoy getting the paper on my phone. It gives me the option of ready about local stores when I am on the road.

### 4/5 — Better than paper edition

*2025-03-29, version 3.18.05*

I am very pleased with the electronic edition of the Monitor. The full page view, article view, zoom in feature and access to previous editions make it a winner.
