### 1/5 — Worst App Experience

*2026-08-08, version 8.11.0*

Very difficult to cancel subscription. Do not use app.

### 5/5 — Great with breaking news

*2026-07-18, version 8.10.2*

Easy to navigate. Go to app when I want to get a quick look at what's going on locally, nationally, and worldwide.

### 4/5 — Crossword Puzzles

*2026-05-29, version 8.10.2*

All of a sudden the crossword puzzles don’t print. Puzzle comes out blurry

### 1/5 — Meh

*2026-05-25, version 8.9.0*

The app has changed. Who is responsible I do not know. When I tap on it, rather than get the newspaper, I get an advertisement to download the app that I am using. Basic content is in a seperate box labeled “bonus” that must be accessed separately by tapping editions. We have no choice, what, drive somewhere to buy a paper version of the newspaper?

### 5/5 — It’s awesome!!

*2026-05-14, version 8.10.1*

I learn so much about Florida and the breaking news!  I love it!!

### 3/5 — Florida today

*2026-05-13, version 8.9.0*

Ok

### 5/5 — Florida Today app

*2026-04-18, version 8.9.0*

Great job!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-04-12, version 8.9.0*

Very good

### 5/5 — Great Way to Start Your Day

*2026-03-07, version 8.8.1*

I have read Florida Today for years and their timely articles have kept me informed. They report on local events and issues but they also do investigative reporting sometimes as well.

### 1/5 — Epaper is horrible!!!

*2026-02-19, version 8.8.0*

I travel quite a bit & try & read the electronic version with no success. I’m signed in but when I try to read articles, it says it’s for subscribers only, which I am. Very frustrating!!!
