Online newspaper

Very accessible and easy to read as well as search articles

Easier on old eyes.

I still get the print edition. It is absolutely necessary for our community but I need a magnifier to read it. I find the online edition much easier on old eyes.

Newspaper layout

I like the old-fashioned newspaper layout, to read page by page!

Gainesville Sun app

A reliable and efficient way to view the news, especially if you get up real early before your delivery person has your paper for pick up. I also love it when I’m out of town, I can view the newspaper and keep up with local news.

Worthless

We pay for daily home delivery so you would think we would get the on line access to Gannett papers as promised. We only get by calling every time we want to access it! They walk us through system - password, etc. and say ok you’ re connected — only lasts a couple of tries!

Great when it works

At least 3 times a week crashes I delete and reinstall Miss the hard copy
Miss the op ed pages

Great app

Read the papers any time anywhere

Responds well

And I can read it well on an iPad mini4.

Real toter

Can take it with you and read it while wating to see someone or waiting for service. Very easy to use and to print crosswords.

Gainesville Sun

My wife and I like the Gainesville Sun a lot.

Gainesville Sun

We have started reading Gainesville Sun on line and enjoy how easy it is.

Informative and telling !

Stories about Politics, Sports, and special interests along with a great funnies page make the Sun shine !

Love the local news & ease of use

I love the Gainesvillle sun digital subscription and supporting our local newspaper without adding to the landfill.

Font change

Annoying feature is when an article is selected, it is then presented to you in an annoying new font.

Gainesville Sun on phone

I like that I can read the Gainesville Sun on my phone on Saturdays when I don’t get a print version.

Reload Required After Every Share

It's a real drag waiting for the page to reload any time you share an article. And you have to really work at it to see ALL of the comic strips.

Works well, but ...

I love using this to read my daily paper. It took a little time to figure out how to fit articles onto the screen, but now I’m comfortable using it. Lately though, it will stop working and disappear from the iPad screen and I have to start it over. I have re-installed, but it will do this twice or three times each morning.

Easy way to read the paper

My only criticism is that the fonts get messed up on almost every page. They go to very large followed by red and on and on.

Love knowing what is going on in Gainesville

Love being able to look at the paper whenever I’m in a place that I have to wait. It’s easy to pull up the newspaper. It’s easier to enlarge the print and seeing entire article just by clicking on it. Fryer those who thought they prefer the paper copy give it a try. You might like it.

Problem with the digital copy of the Gainesville sun

The digital addition was having problems for over 2 months. I could not access the digital paper . They told me they were working on it. Then they said pay again for 1 year, $28 and we will delete the paper and reinstall it. They will refund the $59 I paid in august. The paper is working again. They never refunded the $59 and when I checked on it they said we do not give refunds! So now I get 2 working auditions of the digital papers every morning . I will be cancelling the Gainesville sun soon!
