### 1/5 — DO NOT SUBSCRIBE!!  They Stole my money!!

*2023-02-06, version 27.0.3*

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE GAZETTE! 

I paid for a one year subscription in the app for the digital Gazette.  After one week, the Gazette would no longer allow me to few stories saying they were for “subscribers only”.  I tried to sign out and sign back out and still would not let me read articles.  

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME!!

### 1/5 — Subscription fail

*2023-01-13, version 26.12.5*

Update: Called support to either cancel or get account activated.  They are blaming apple!  This such a scam.  Don’t be suckered into subscribing. Can’t link subscription! Can’t cancel subscription! No support!

### 2/5 — Save Trees

*2023-01-12, version 26.12.5*

Like being able to catch the local headlines without having newspapers piling up. Saves lrees that we need for oxygen.

It now will not let me read , pops up to subscribe, Even though I Have a subscription.

### 5/5 — Always true to my hometown paper

*2022-12-14, version 26.12.5*

The Gazette has had a rough and tumble decade but they always strive to provide the best they can with what they have. Can’t ask for more than that!!!

### 1/5 — Paid subscription doesn’t work

*2022-08-18, version 26.12.5*

Paid for a subscription and can’t view any of the articles…no help…not easily accessible…not good

### 1/5 — Wow

*2022-07-10, version 26.12.3*

The only newspaper in town has finally figured out a paywall. Sure, not expensive…. For now. If the Gazette actually shared local news the price would be a deal. I have to use Charlotte papers to find breaking news in THIS town (Gastonia). I would happily pay if the content were worth it. Instead they spend most of their time on useless editorials couched in white privilege . Instead of spending my money to read old white men complaining about Biden and loss of American morals (they mean the Great Lie, and southern white supremacy such as the civil war left in its wake) Before I go too far, the paper isn’t biased. Just…. Not open and whole. They have done some good here. Just not enough. Maybe that’s the county trying to corral an opposition, maybe not. But having the app for 3 years and just now hitting the pay wall, when I checked daily…. Report more evenly I pay. Plain and simple

### 5/5 — Great source for local news

*2022-06-18, version 26.10.0*

Great place to find local news with balanced reporting.

### 3/5 — Poor, as are most things related to the pitiful Gazette

*2022-01-18, version 26.8.1*

How do you log in? Articles poorly organized.

### 1/5 — Not able to manage my account

*2021-07-25, version 26.5.9*

It’s very disappointing to not be able to change payment methods, phone number or anything else online. If I can’t make important changes except by phone during regular daytime hours, what good is that in a world that is 24/7?

### 5/5 — The Gastonia Gazette

*2021-05-03, version 6.4.0*

I love the old home town newspaper. Having an online subscription keeps me in touch, even though I live 3 hours away.
