Except you cannot change the “always on” button. It is locked. ### 4/5 — No help *2025-11-18* Having problems receiving epaper out of country. Asked for assistance and no response ### 4/5 — Where are the comics ? *2025-11-02, version 8.5.4* There are no comics ### 4/5 — Enjoy *2025-04-09* We love the GFT. We grew up with the paper. We love the sports coverage! We would like to read more local news and about the good news happening in our city. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Need more new content *2022-06-12* I like the app but the content needs daily updates. One story per day surely doesn’t reflect the hard copy, does it? In addition, the opinion section has not changed for months. This is a big part of why I subscribe, to read the opinions and counterpoint of north central Montanans. ### 4/5 — Problems *2022-01-06* The paper s always. Saying there’s a problem loading and I have a subscription. ITT. Loads fine until a couple of months ago. ### 1/5 — Epic Fail To Maintain Online Content!!! *2021-09-16* The GFT site is seldom if ever updated other than a few front page stories. The Business section has featured the same headlines and content for at least six months. Moreover, the content lag time is so bad that the same lead story may hold the top spot for as long as three consecutive days. All in all, not even remotely comparable to Montana competitors like Billings Gazette, Bozeman Chronicle or even smaller local papers. It is easy to navigate from one out of date story to another, though, so at least there’s that… ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-07-01, version 5.25.1* Cannot cancel subscription ### 4/5 — Texas Mike *2020-02-09* Always great to keep up with the home town ### 1/5 — It rarely gets updated *2019-10-29, version 5.21.3* I can go days and days without seeing anything new. ### 2/5 — Why do you keep trying to access my Citibank app? *2018-12-30* I keep getting requests to have gf tribune open my Citibank app that I have to actively cancel. Very hacky feeling. Want to delete but need rmf area news. Fix your crappy app for crying out loud ### 1/5 — Very poor news coverage *2018-10-18, version 5.11.0* Not all of what’s in the paper is not on the app. Why pay for it. Disappointed once again by the trib. ### 1/5 — Disappointed 😔 *2017-09-22* I was told I can do crosswords on it. It doesn't have it. It's not available on the app nor is it available on the web page :( ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rev *2025-05-21, version 8.1.0* I can’t even give this one star. The paper will not open for me so how can I read it to review ### 1/5 — It Stinks *2024-09-02* No longer a local paper! 10 bucks a month to read the comics and then only 2/3rds of them are worth reading ### 1/5 — No pride *2023-11-27* Online edition is a joke. Same stories running for two years! These people have no professional pride whatsoever. ### 1/5 — No pride *2023-11-24* Online edition is a joke. Same stories running for two years! These people have no professional pride whatsoever. ### 1/5 — News not current and receiving subscription ads *2023-04-20* Stories not current, why? Not a good show ### 1/5 — Cannot login *2022-07-31, version 6.12.5* Cannot login to app. Get a free edition. Fix the dang problem. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-05-06* I am a paid subscriber and the app will not let me see stories that require a subscription. Also I keep getting advertisements to subscribe. ### 1/5 — Awful *2022-03-24* Have been a subscriber for a lot of years, and now unable to open the online newspaper, no explanation, no help. Why use help when I am still waiting on answers from three other requests three years ago? ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2022-01-27* Keep getting an error that says “There was a problem connecting. Please check your connection and try again.” I don’t have a connection issue. Have not been able to use the app since subscribing to the Great Falls tribune over a month ago. ### 1/5 — Worst paper app ever *2021-12-07, version 6.8.1* Have to reload regularly. Not worth it. Get the missoulian ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Steven Smith *2025-06-16* On line.

The app is attached to my paper subscription so that makes it easy to sign in to if I need to do that. ### 5/5 — Awesomeness *2016-04-15, version 2.5.7* Thank you for keeping us updated. I live outside Great Falls but have family there , so it's nice to know what is going on around the area and in town.
