### 3/5 — Worst app on my phone

*2025-01-25, version 7.14.0*

I don’t want “top stories” or “sections, I subscribe to read the (condensed) daily edition, front to back. Too frequently, it simply won’t open, or only the front page will open but is so pixilated it’s illegible. Unfortunately this is the only media outlet that covers local news, politics and government in any depth. The local reporters do a good job, but what good is that if you can’t count on being able to access their stories?? Gannett has ruined the C&P and obviously doesn’t care about its digital customers.

### 1/5 — Can’t cancel

*2024-06-16, version 7.10.0*

No options to cancel, including how the help page explains to cancel.

### 3/5 — epapet

*2024-04-20, version 7.8.0*

not consistent

### 2/5 — Bad start

*2024-01-08*

I pay a month fee to be able to read the paper and print the puzzles. It’s too small a print and I haven’t been able to increase it to be able to read. I can no longer print the puzzles. I am vey disappointed.

### 1/5 — The worst

*2023-12-05, version 7.5.1*

Just the absolute WORST APP EVER!!! I do everything on my iPhone and this is the only app that I can rarely access my account. Perhaps someone could instruct me on how to access my account I have already followed the instructions, but it won’t pull up my account. I am forced to go the library to get it to work.

### 3/5 — Evansville Courier review

*2023-09-04, version 7.1.2*

The Evansville Courier is important to the greater Evansville community in its diverse reporting of government, business, sports, entertainment, etc. 
HOWEVER, THE DAY’S DELAY IN REPORTING COMPROMISES ITS POWER OF INFORMATION AND TURNS READERS AWAY.

### 2/5 — Thanks for your excellent paper!

*2023-03-30, version 7.0.4*

This is a great paper. The writers do a wonderful job, and I enjoyed reading him every day!

### 1/5 — Aggravating

*2023-01-01, version 6.12.5*

Will not let me cancel my subscription

### 1/5 — Courier and press

*2022-12-09, version 6.12.5*

Doesn’t look like the paper at all. Very disappointed It used to be a representation of the paper edition.

### 4/5 — The Art of Newspaper Continues Into the Digital Realm

*2022-11-07, version 6.12.5*

It’s nice to be able to read a newspaper anywhere I want and I don’t have to look around the porch and bushes to see where it was delivered.

### 1/5 — Area sports

*2022-08-27, version 6.12.5*

Need more southern Indiana sports stories.  I’m not originally from Evansville but have lived in S Indiana my whole life.

### 4/5 — Missing a lot of local info

*2022-06-18, version 6.10.0*

I really miss the TV schedules that was the printed edition 
The “records” information that was in the printed edition is another I miss. 
I enjoy the USA edition

*2026-03-23, version 8.9.0*

Unaffordable

### 1/5 — App is slow

*2026-01-14, version 8.6.0*

False starts 
Doesn’t open up
Frustrating to use
Not dependable

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-12-03, version 8.6.0*

Half the time it’s a blank screen for way longer than it should be.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2025-08-30, version 8.1.0*

Terrible app. Don’t waste your time. You can get all of the news they want you to subscribe to for free from other outlets.

### 1/5 — Dislike this app

*2025-06-01, version 8.1.0*

This new app format is annoying. Very difficult to navigate. The previous format that looks like the print edition was so much easier to read. Felt more like home. Bad enough to have to use a phone or iPad to read let alone messing up the format. I am not a fan at all.

### 1/5 — App is slow

*2025-04-27, version 8.1.0*

False starts 
Doesn’t open up
Frustrating to use
Not dependable

### 1/5 — E-newspaper no longer iPad mini 4

*2025-04-06, version 7.11.2*

The latest change doesn’t allow the e-newspaper to work on iPad mini 4.  I know it is old and stuck on Ios 15.8.  Please support it.

### 1/5 — Not my newspaper

*2025-03-21, version 8.1.0*

Bring back the old format that looks like the real newspaper. After seeing new format I won’t download it!

### 1/5 — NOT USER FRIENDLY

*2025-03-19, version 8.1.0*

I have a digital subscription to the EVV C&P but the updated app will not allow me to sign into the e-newspaper. Deleted app and added it back. Didn’t work. Reset password. Didn’t work. Restarted phone. Didn’t work. Ridiculous that I’m paying $99.99/yr and can’t access my data!!! Not a happy camper

### 1/5 — C&P app

*2025-02-02, version 7.14.0*

So far I’m not impressed by this app. It’s cumbersome to sign in! I’m sick of media boxes with pictures of bicycles, crosswalks, etc!

### 5/5 — Review

*2025-09-22, version 8.5.0*

We enjoy getting the current updates at the beginning before the actual enewspaper starts.

### 5/5 — Great paper

*2025-08-25, version 8.1.0*

I enjoy reading a daily newspaper. Glad we still have them. Keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — Local newspaper important

*2025-04-03, version 8.1.0*

The app for me is very easy to use, I am pleased.

### 5/5 — Still need it

*2025-03-29, version 8.1.0*

Love the ease of the eNewspaper. Lived in Evansville my whole life, still find I need it to keep on top of local happenings.

### 5/5 — Well done!

*2024-03-08, version 7.5.1*

C&P is user friendly and the writers are the best in the business. 

Thank you for all you to!

Splitty

### 5/5 — Keep Our  Evansville Paper

*2023-08-27, version 7.1.2*

So many communities are without a local paper.  They are being bought up or they are closing because of lack of circulation.  I wish I could have a “ real” paper delivered everyday but even that is a job not enough people want.  At least we still can read the Courier and Press on line.  Without it we would only get our news on TV.   People lose a sense of community when they no longer know what’s going on around them.

### 5/5 — Too liberal

*2022-12-16, version 6.12.5*

I confine myself to the sports page, some political reporting and absolutely no opinion pieces.
Every once and a while, I read an opinion piece and it is liberal and contains few facts.

### 5/5 — Go back please

*2022-10-30, version 6.12.5*

Please go back to previous version. Obituarys split up now

### 5/5 — Love the hometown news

*2022-04-07, version 6.10.0*

Like reading the articles that areBoth investigative and hometown oriented. Helps me keep up-to-date on what’s going on.

### 5/5 — Ok

*2020-10-23, version 6.1.4*

Seems to be getting better.
