Suggestions???? This just started within the past week. ### 4/5 — Disappointed *2025-05-03, version 8.1.0* I want the E newspaper in the normal format like the printed newspaper. Is that not available anymore? ### 4/5 — Layout *2025-04-03, version 8.1.0* I read on my iPad, I do not like the forced split screen. I prefer being able to look at the index, select the article I want to read, and then have that article in fullscreen mode. ### 3/5 — Review of App *2024-12-15, version 7.13.3* In the eNewspaper I can’t read individual comic strips horizontally on my phone. They won’t turn like they do in the print edition app. Any suggestions? ### 1/5 — A really poor application *2024-12-03, version 7.13.3* Of the apps that I use regularly this one is the most amateur. It’s difficult to imagine that Gannett would let their users look at their products with this. It’s likely evidence that they don’t even read the paper. The pop up ads, the freezing of the app, the failure to be able to render simple things like bullet points, shrinking all of the pictures, etc. It’s really that bad. ### 1/5 — App stinks *2024-11-11, version 7.13.3* It doesn’t work most of the time. Enewspaper just has a blank dark screen. Prefer the old newspaper online format. Will be dropping my subscription ### 1/5 — App *2024-10-03, version 7.13.0* Please bring the print edition app back! This newer app is almost impossible to use or even makes any sense. This newer is definitely a step backwards for improving customer satisfaction. ### 1/5 — Difficult to print crossword puzzles from E edition *2024-08-30, version 7.12.0* Why did this app get updated so that there are multi steps just to print a crossword puzzle or word jumble? It worked perfectly before… Leave things alone… I don’t necessarily need to hear my crossword puzzle. I just want to print it. Add the print icon back again so we can easily print crossword puzzles and word jumbles. Unbelievable! It’s bad enough not being able to get a printed paper until 2 PM in the afternoon after being delivered by the post office… now I have to deal with this? ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2024-08-15, version 7.11.2* Every once in a while, I get up in the morning turn my iPad on push the GreenvilleNews app button and I cannot get connected this morning. It took me at least 20 minutes and I still haven’t been connected or can’t get connected. This happens periodically I don’t understand I pay for this every month. Why do I have to go through this process periodically and then sometimes can’t even get connected to the paper ### 1/5 — App *2024-07-28, version 7.11.1* Difficulty with navigation. Also will skip around, return to another page with no hands on touch. Considering cancellation ### 1/5 — Poor loading and failing to load *2024-07-22, version 7.11.1* I keep rebooting this app and repeatedly it fails to load and provide access to the enewspaper. If it does not improve I will have to cancel my subscription since I cannot read what I have paid for! ### 1/5 — Difficult to print crossword puzzles from E edition *2024-07-19* Why did this app get updated so that there are multi steps just to print a crossword puzzle or word jumble? It worked perfectly before… Leave things alone… I don’t necessarily need to hear my crossword puzzle. I just want to print it. Add the print icon back again so we can easily print crossword puzzles and word jumbles. Unbelievable! It’s bad enough not being able to get a printed paper until 2 PM in the afternoon after being delivered by the post office… now I have to deal with this? ### 1/5 — Greenville News online *2024-07-19, version 7.11.1* Terrible program, takes multiple repeat actions to get a response, full screen option maddeningly flukey, will not hold this state before reverting to the smaller layout that is essentially unreadable. The software appears to be written by very inexperienced developers. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-07-18, version 7.11.1* This newspaper and app are terrible. The news is typically 48 hours old and recycled from their many holdings. Do not subscribe, do not count on the app working with any consistency ### 3/5 — Yet *2024-07-17, version 7.11.1* Terrible! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-07-13, version 7.10.0* App frequently freezes. ### 2/5 — Crummy app *2024-06-05, version 7.9.1* I am paying for the newspaper why am I having to deal with pop up ads? This app is annoying! ### 3/5 — Clumsy *2024-06-01, version 7.9.1* Wastes time waiting to clear ads that block texts. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pop ups *2026-05-11, version 8.9.0* Why am I now getting pop ups on this paid subscription? Can I revert this awful update? ### 1/5 — ENewspaper *2026-04-24, version 8.9.0* Pitiful access NOT ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE ### 1/5 — New App *2025-10-10, version 8.5.4* Ok Hate it. Need old format ### 1/5 — Poor download *2025-07-15, version 8.1.0* When I first signed up for this, I was able to download with no problem. However the last 2 weeks it has not downloaded. I am able to see the individual groups such as obituaries however the full enewspaper does not download. I have sent emails concerning this and have not received a response ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-05-28, version 7.11.2* This is not taking me to the front page immediatel ### 1/5 — Poor *2025-04-13, version 8.1.0* They make it very difficult to cancel via the app. Beware! ### 1/5 — New Greenville News app *2025-04-12, version 7.11.2* The new app does not give me a newspaper. This app appears to be the same as greenville online. I may be missing something or not looking in the right place, but so far I hate it. Please bring back the old newspaper look option. ### 1/5 — New App *2025-04-05, version 8.1.0* Hate it. Need old format ### 1/5 — Bad app *2025-03-23, version 8.1.0* Keeps freezing up! ### 1/5 — Slow and annoying *2024-12-11, version 7.11.2* I accidentally deleted the former version and can’t get it back. Why does it have ads when I pay for my subscription? There are too many unnecessary toolbars taking up space on the screen. It doesn’t zoom smoothly and opens an article full screen when just trying to move the screen. I’m seriously considering deleting this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great educational and entertaining newspaper *2025-09-06, version 8.1.0* Keep it up! ### 5/5 — Spartanburg news *2024-10-29, version 7.13.3* I am very disappointed in the coverage of Spartanburg. You say you report both, but not at all equally. The Charleston Post & Courier has more info about the burg than you do. I will be ending my subscription. Thank you for the 6 month trial. Boo for no notification of it running out & charging $26 a month. ### 5/5 — Great read every morning *2023-11-30, version 7.3.2* Gives me what I need to see -well written. ### 5/5 — Weird *2023-11-18, version 7.3.2* Weird to start with but slowly getting the hang of it. Don’t really like the mail delivery method. ### 5/5 — Crossword puzzle *2023-11-17, version 7.3.2* How do you print? ### 5/5 — Greenville News *2023-04-18, version 7.0.4* Great news app! ### 5/5 — Greenville News *2022-12-13, version 6.12.5* The best ### 5/5 — Great news app *2021-08-30, version 6.5.9* Reliable, informative, easy to use ### 5/5 — Local News is a Breath of Fresh Air *2020-12-08, version 6.2.0* It’s hard to know what to believe these days but I’ll start with my regional news. Professionalism and respect for their readers is appreciated. ### 5/5 — Community Journalism We'll Done! *2020-09-04* As a former photojournalist for numerous newspapers throughout thebnidwest and east coast, a career change will be bringing me to the area. I have found the journalism produced at this newspaper to be of the highest standard and quality since I've subscribed in early summer 2020. Efforts made by this paper to connect the community and to inspire have been genuine, thought provoking and sometimes tear-jerking. Thank you for teaching me about my future home. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
