### 2/5 — amateur hour

*2026-03-23*

I have spent years trying to customize the type of articles I wish to receive and those I do not waste my time on. The Denver Post seems unconcerned or arrogantly dismissive of my several requests did not waste my life trying to blow past articles I have absolutely no interest in e.g. sports.

**Developer response:** Hello, 

You can customize your news feed by going to Your News, and then selecting your preferred topics by using the toggle menu in the upper right corner. 

This will create a personalized news feed and avoid you having to see articles you have no interest in.

### 2/5 — Forced updates… WHY?!

*2026-01-19*

Not that I even expect a response vacate why change now and actually address reviewers comments.  When you do they’re just standard slop months delayed. Do better of fire whomever is not doing their job... 

You released a new update 4 days ago with minor fixes/changes and we’re forced to update? That’s honestly ridiculous. Force for serious issues like compromised security but a new game? Come on…

Oh! Can you maybe FINALLY fix the logon process and securely store device login credentials & use the appropriate saved passkeys?
It’s insane that you also force a new ligin with each and every launch. Are you stuck in the 90’s guys? Do any of us really remember which apps (of dozens and dozens) we’re using email, Google, Apple etc. to login with? That’s a big fat NO.
Make it seamless!

### 2/5 — Please Stop Unwanted sports messaging!

*2025-10-28*

I have been trying for years with multiple calls and promises on your end to stop bothering me daily, morning, evening and night with sports notifications that I could care less about. Maybe a review will get your attention. Stop it!!!

### 2/5 — Only app that never remembers log in

*2025-10-13, version 10.0.45*

Awful. I can’t ever read the paper w out logging in each time

### 3/5 — Ttt

*2025-04-14, version 10.0.36*

I’m I Nguyen’stkt i

### 2/5 — App is ok paper is junk

*2025-03-16*

The app can’t open when I click an online story. I have to open the dumb app and search. Also love that 6 month old news remains on the front page. This paper has no content.

### 2/5 — Bad Nrws for Disabilitied Readers

*2025-03-15, version 10.0.34*

I am confused by your digital fisplay and very disappointed.

I am visually impaired and used to enjoy articles which were converted to audio that no longer appears available.

In addition the print cannot be enlarged with index and thimb which males a magnifying glass necessary but very cumbersome.

I would gladly subscribe otherwise.

### 4/5 — Stop with the forced updates

*2025-01-28*

Otherwise it works fine.

### 2/5 — How many times a week are you “updating” the app?!?

*2024-08-20*

I’m a paying subscriber and over the past month I’ve frequently found I can’t access the app at all b/c Denver Post INSISTS I update the app. I’ve updated twice this month and again it’s blocking me and demanding another update. Look, I’ll update an app infrequently unless that app has sensitive, personal, or financial info in it. There’s no possible way these REQUIRED updates are necessary for my security- your devs just like limiting users’ abilities unless we let you be controlling like this. It’s a nuisance and there’s nothing in it for me. Based on other reviews, it sounds like yodoing this in order to serve me ads — even though I’m a paying subscriber. Nasty.

### 2/5 — Can’t read without constant interruption

*2024-08-03*

I paid for a subscription yet I can’t get through an article without several consistent interruptions from ads. The app has been constantly glitching making it impossible to skip a video that starts without selecting it. Specifically videos on the story itself.

### 4/5 — Current Version pops up videos/ads repeatedly

*2024-08-02, version 10.0.14*

The current version as of 8/2024 pops up videos and ads repeatedly as you try to read any articles, making it borderline unusable.

### 3/5 — Horizontal

*2024-06-06*

Why can’t they make a version for this app that I can use the app horizontally with my wireless keyboard? It’s so annoying I have take my whole iPad off the case and turn it to read the app. 

Yes I am Denver Post subscription member too!

### 2/5 — Poor display

*2024-05-01, version 10.0.6*

Try to clone the WAPO. Your app is horrible

### 2/5 — Fix the landscape feature

*2024-03-30*

Why would you remove the Landscape feature? I read on my iPad in Landscape mode. I Do not want to turn just for this app. Please fix!

### 3/5 — Ads

*2024-03-25*

I’m still seeing ads in the app even though I pay for the ad-free digital edition. Content and app are otherwise fine.

### 1/5 — Bring back landscape mode!

*2024-03-14, version 10.0.4*

I guess the Denver Post assumes everyone only uses a phone to read the paper?  I read pretty much all publications on my iPad in landscape mode.  The app is useless to me now.

### 1/5 — Stop forcing updates

*2026-06-10, version 10.0.58*

There is zero reason to force me to update, constantly. It’s annoying AF.

### 1/5 — Renck

*2026-05-14, version 10.0.56*

After that game you highlight a goalie controversy?! Cmon man, be better.

### 1/5 — Links Not Opening

*2026-03-03, version 10.0.52*

I click on a link and it only goes to the homepage. This is a recent development.

### 1/5 — Beautiful news source gone awry

*2026-02-13, version 10.0.51*

It’s too bad about the Denver post. This used to be a great news source for Coloradans. Low quality, no depth and low volume. Apple doesn’t allow zero stars

### 1/5 — Waste of Money

*2025-07-28, version 10.0.37*

I'm not sure what my $14.99/month gets me, I can’t use any features outside of the app. Even then, those don't always work and it tries to get me to pay more money. Pretty lame.

### 1/5 — Beautiful need source gone awry

*2025-04-09, version 10.0.36*

It’s too bad about the Denver post. This used to be a great news source for Colorado.

### 1/5 — Badgers you to allow tracking.

*2025-02-13, version 10.0.32*

Who thought this was a good idea?

### 1/5 — Nothing but Ads

*2024-08-04, version 10.0.14*

I have been a Post subscriber for 40+ years but this last version by the Developer is so focused on forcing me to see their ads I am DONE

### 1/5 — Love the content but do not love the new app

*2024-07-31*

Each time I try to read a story, a video summary of recent news appears. I x out of it only for it to pop up again a second later. It prevents me from being able to read the text at all and renders the app nearly useless.

### 1/5 — Have to go through complex log in every time

*2024-05-21, version 10.0.13*

I can access the NYT and WaPo seamlessly but never the DP. Makes me want to cancel. So very frustrating.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-05-29*

I used to read the actual paper and loved it! Haven’t done it for years and then saw this. Subscribed right away and was nostalgic and happy surprised for how much I loved it and sat for 30 minutes without even realizing it as I sat and read through sections and stories. Happy to be back!

### 5/5 — Love it all

*2025-08-30*

Like news about traveling in Colorado.  App has big pictures.

### 5/5 — Great Local Content

*2025-08-10*

I love the way we have local journalism still. I thought they would be gutted by now after they were acquired but the Post is still rockin and rollin. If you love local sports it’s a must have app.

### 5/5 — Like it, but..

*2025-01-10*

I can’t seem to find the Facsimile Edition of the Post.

**Developer response:** Hello,

To find our e-Newspaper, please got to Sections in the bottom navigation bar, and then scroll to the bottom of the menu and click on E-NEWSPAPER. This will take you do the digital replica of the newspaper.

Thank you for being a subscriber.

### 5/5 — LOVE LOVE LOVE DP

*2024-02-20*

Thank for Denver Newspaper I love it always. Why I grew up in Colorado and LOVE all season i  Colorado. I am Glad need know update Colorado News.

### 5/5 — Denver Post knows

*2023-12-19, version 8.0.9*

Denver Post reporters learn the facts and let you know. No malarkey. Thanks.

### 5/5 — The new update is amazing!

*2023-10-04*

The app has improved by leaps and bounds. Much more user friendly and accessible. Really impressed with the changes.

### 5/5 — Horrible App!

*2023-08-21, version 7.6.3*

The Denver Post App is horrible! The news feed is three-days old and will not update daily like the other papers I subscribe to. The sports section seems to be up to date daily, but not the news section!

### 5/5 — Might as well go out of business

*2023-08-10, version 7.6.3*

There is absolutely no way to get the paper delivered anymore and I live in the center of Denver. Trying to get the app to work takes several attempts and getting the replica is difficult.

I don’t know why Post even bothers if they can’t even get the newspaper in a good way to their subscribers.

### 5/5 — It’s pretty good.

*2022-03-21, version 7.6.3*

I like the Denver post.  it has everything I need to know … they have gotten way way better. About time! Totally recommend it.
