### 4/5 — Not Awful!

*2023-06-28, version 4.0.1*

Compared to the version I get on my PC, this app is rather brilliant. While the PC version is at best clumsy and cluttered, this app is readable and navigable — gets the job done. Albeit with an organization that obviously under staffed and over worked. If you wring out what’s attributed to the NYT and AP, there’s not much to it.

### 2/5 — No good when todays edition won’t load

*2023-05-07, version 4.0.0*

The app isn’t perfect, but it works. Except for the odd days when the new edition won’t load. No word from DP - no way to learn when it will be available. Surely someone checks this each day?

The Denver Gazette may be up - I’ll go there…

### 2/5 — Horrible

*2023-05-01, version 4.0.0*

I was expecting a digital app like WAPO. Worse digital newspaper app and I wanted info from Colorado

### 2/5 — Bring back the previous version

*2022-12-27, version 4.0.0*

Minuses:  an errant tap of a finger brings up the article.  No, I want to stay with the newspaper page.  I sometimes have to tap the arrow 5-6 times to get a response
Hard to figure out where previous editions reside.
Hard to turn a page with a swipe.  Pain in the rear.

Pluses:  zoom feature allows me to zoom in more than before.  Nice.
I get to read the paper.

### 4/5 — Iron head ret

*2022-12-12, version 4.0.0*

Red

### 3/5 — Can’t navigate

*2022-11-29, version 4.0.0*

In version 4.0 could not navigate to other editions. After I quit the app and re-ran the app I was able to.

### 2/5 — Issue with ipad

*2022-11-05, version 3.6.24*

The app won’t open on my ipad.  It will open on my iphone but who wants to read on a phone. So frustrating.

### 4/5 — Review of Denver Post online version

*2022-10-23, version 3.6.24*

I do enjoy the Post online but the funnies used to be a lot easier to navigate by simply swiping to the left to see the next cartoon. Now you have to get out of the cartoon you read in 3 seconds then choose the next one & so on. Swiping to the left or right is much faster. I wish it could be improved to the way it used to be.

### 5/5 — Post it

*2022-10-20, version 3.6.24*

We travel a lot and reading the Post from anywhere in the world is awesome plus no ink on my hands.

### 4/5 — Crazy new layout

*2022-10-20, version 3.6.24*

Your new layout of the Denver Post highlights that you can’t decide on a font, kerning between stories is SO tight. There’s just so much wasted space where the kerning ( space between letters) could be relaxed to read the article better.

### 1/5 — Crashes frequently

*2023-05-20, version 4.0.0*

This is the only app I have to delete/re-install regularly. It’s pretty bad, and a turn-off to my Denver Post subscription.

### 1/5 — Not very good

*2023-01-08, version 4.0.0*

Who ever write the app never checked to see if it worked.  You cannot read the Sunday comics; because they are on 2 pages they split and only show part so you can’t see the last part.  Not good for reading on Sunday.  The prior version had a way of seeing 2 pages at the same time.  Also takes forever to load;  I guess they don’t have the bandwidth for lots of people downloading at the same time.  Who would expect everyone to try to download at the same time in the morning?

### 1/5 — Lost features, barely functional, bafflingly bad

*2022-12-06*

What used to be a barely acceptable app became unusable with the late November update. The web version however has improved greatly, highly recommended on the iPad for landscape… other than hyper sensitive article view. 
In this update archive issues are woefully hidden. Full screen portrait mode is lost to some terrible layout with large, unnecessary, and non-removable header and footer bars. The needless loss of screen real estate on the iPad is unfathomable in 2022. How could this have seemed like a good idea to anyone? Search only works on previously downloaded issues? Why bother with search at all? “Only search issues I’ve downloaded and read” is a great *option* in a search interface but as a stand-alone it is a sad excuse for a feature. 
This is either unannounced and forced public alpha testing or simply incompetence from developers new to the platform and completely unfamiliar with newspaper content consumption. 
Hint: Interface elements no longer need to appear onscreen full time at the expense of content.

### 1/5 — Hate the new update

*2022-12-01*

The prior version was great. You could access old editions. Navigation and reading was easy on the iPad. I liked being able to click on an article and read the text version in the right side column. Puzzles were fun to do on the iPad. Just click on the puzzle, you’re given an option to “mark up” and you can do all the puzzles on the app using the Apple Pencil.
Version 4.0 KILLED all of that. No prior editions, no ability to do puzzles from the app (or even download them), navigation is cumbersome. Horrible update, makes me want to cancel my subscription.

### 1/5 — Horrible, this UX is the WORST!

*2022-12-01, version 4.0.0*

Please get rid of this, the iPad experience doesn’t even work in portrait.  I have a keyboard case and work/read landscape.  No scaling, did anyone do any testing at all?  1 star is a gift!  I may need to move to another city’s paper so I can enjoy my morning news.  PLEASE FIX SOON!

### 1/5 — So sad that nothing works

*2022-11-30, version 4.0.0*

We used to get the post delivered every day. Delivery was so bad we switched to digital. Now that they have “upgraded”, the app won’t download. So sad. Best to get your news at the Colorado Sun.

### 1/5 — Latest upgrade NOT an improvement!

*2022-11-27, version 4.0.0*

I have been using the DP Replica app for a long time, and learned to love the digital features - especially the ability to use markup and an Apple Pencil to complete the daily puzzles. It saved me from having to print them out every day. I really don’t want to have to go back to the old days of printing. I tried to copy and paste the Sudoku into another app (Pencil), and it’s very clunky and sometimes “copy” isn’t even an option at all. I really miss the previous iteration.

### 1/5 — New format to Digital Replica Edition

*2022-11-26, version 4.0.0*

Formatting of the Digital Replica was recently changed and there is no tool bar that allows access to past editions. Very unfriendly navigation. Been a paid on-line subscriber for many years and this was not a positive change.

### 1/5 — Prepare for login hell…

*2022-11-24, version 4.0.0*

Any update that invalidates existing valid login credentials is a FAIL. While the new look is refreshing, it was forced on me at an inconvenient time while traveling. Then the update did not transfer login credentials. 

In a competitive news environment, this is another annoyance for a paying subscriber. This shows the owners of the Denver Post are not sensitive to their remaining customers.

### 1/5 — New Version 11/23/22

*2022-11-23, version 4.0.0*

This new version is much more difficult to navigate. It no longer has the continuing page links or easy section jumps. 
I'm not happy with it at all! Boooo!

### 5/5 — Application works great

*2024-12-17, version 4.0.2*

I am a prefer a paper newspaper reader. This application is changing my newspaper reading habits, due to the application ease of use.

### 5/5 — Great app, one request

*2022-11-26, version 4.0.0*

This is a great app. It is very well thought out and a great way to read the newspaper while saving natural resources. Please consider adding dark mode in the future.

### 5/5 — Enjoying the Denver Post

*2022-11-18, version 3.6.24*

I’m very happy to get the Post can’t beat the cost. Thanks

### 5/5 — Review

*2022-11-12, version 3.6.24*

Very pleased with the format and speed. It works!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2022-11-10, version 3.6.24*

Like the full size pages.

### 5/5 — Great content

*2022-11-08*

Easy to read , informative

### 5/5 — Very functional

*2022-11-06, version 3.6.24*

Nice balance between simulating the newspaper and leveraging the advantages of digital media

### 5/5 — Looks and works great

*2022-10-31, version 3.6.24*

And the touch to get the story text is a nice feature.

Now if I could just get the delivery person to get my Wed. And Sun. Editions within 100 yards of my door, I would be happy!

### 5/5 — Always up to date

*2022-10-23, version 3.6.24*

Easy to access and read.

### 5/5 — Vastly improved

*2022-10-22, version 3.6.24*

The previous version of this app for the Denver Post was so bad I felt like I was being tested every morning trying to be loyal to my local paper. This version does just what you would expect it to do, and reliably.
