I understand the nature of the industry today, that there will be the same article in multiple editions. My complaint is that some of these articles are days apart and I have to start reading the article again to see if it is the the original or an update. Another complaint is about some of the sports articles. Today’s EG had a two page article on the Baltimore Orioles. I am a sports fan and follow the Cleveland Guardians regularly and the Reds occasionally. If I want information on another team, I can look it up. ### 2/5 — Why, Why, Why *2023-09-01, version 7.1.2* Well the money hungry guru’s have struck again in this latest app. We now have wonderful pop up ads on the opening screen of the newspaper. Not small ones but at least a quarter page of the newspaper screen on my eye pad. Why? They have taken away the print function for an article or a puzzle. For years, and the one reason I went digital only, I have gotten up early in the morning, made my cup of coffee and started the day printing out the Suduko, Celebrity Cipher and crossword puzzle and enjoyed quiet time while working my puzzles and drinking a couple of cups of coffee. Puzzles are good for keeping the mind of an old person, which I am, active and some researchers say warding off dementia. But this pleasure has been taken away by the ones who care less about the aged. I have been able to travel and read the paper wherever I am and do my puzzles if I had access to a printer. But no longer. Why? The last major update they did, allowed us to use the old style of the previous version, while they were able to incorporate new concepts in technology in their app. I guess the programmers they had were smarter then and those they have now are incapable of doing the same thing. As a matter of fact other then the little glitzy changes that I guess youngster want, who around here I don’t know of any young person who even reads the paper, the obnoxious ads that come up on the Eedition opening page and the fact there is no way to print anything, there is not much change visible. WHY? While I do not enjoy the sometimes very biased based reporting of our so called local reporters, I do and always have been a long time subscriber to the Lancaster Eagle Gazette, over 50 years. I embraced the online edition of the paper because I could keep up with my hometown happenings while traveling and spending winters in Florida, but now, I have to ponder continuing my subscription. It is sad for me, but I think the journalism for Lancaster is heading the same direction I am in my advanced age. Do they hold funerals for newspapers that have died? ### 4/5 — Won’t Stay Open *2020-02-01, version 5.23.1* This app won’t stay open. I tap it and it starts to come up, then it closes immediately. ### 4/5 — Eagle Gazette *2019-02-18, version 5.15.2* Enjoy reading the Eagle when out of town. ### 4/5 — Lancaster Eagle Gazette *2017-08-21, version 4.12.1* Good app for finding out what is going on in the community. ### 4/5 — . *2015-01-06, version 2.0.3* Really useful app ### 5/5 — Good *2013-09-21, version 1.0.2* Eagle Gazette, one of the best papers in Ohio ### 2/5 — Lousy for the iPhone five! *2013-03-25, version 1.0.1* Great for the iPad! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unhappy reader *2024-07-17, version 7.11.1* Cannot get the enewspaper I cannot get the crossword puzzle. This app is not a good app. It doesn’t work as it should. I would not recommend. ### 1/5 — Where do I sign in? *2022-04-09, version 6.10.0* I’ve been a subscriber to the Eagle Gazette for years, but I can’t figure out how to sign in on the app! I’m not getting the Saturday online edition or any of the crosswords I would like to play. I have access to only five articles a week? Terrible! ### 1/5 — Unhappy reader *2022-01-25, version 6.8.1* Subscribed yesterday and can’t access certain articles. Would not recommend. Will be canceling. ### 1/5 — App crashes unless on wifi *2020-10-26, version 6.1.4* This app doesn’t even load stories before it crashes whenever it’s not on wifi, which happens to be the majority of the time. ### 1/5 — Poorly functioning app *2020-03-15, version 5.23.1* An app designed solely for ad space, with almost little to no value for news reading. The news content is fine, but the app runs like very poorly. ### 1/5 — Reader 2 *2020-02-17, version 5.23.1* App will not stay open: tries to open immediately shuts down have loaded it several times no luck! Have paid online subscription and still won’t work properly! ### 1/5 — Works...sometimes. *2020-01-05, version 5.22.2* Very dodgey. Slow to load. Content too expensive. ### 1/5 — Parts of app don’t work, yet prices rise *2019-06-24, version 5.16.1* I have been a subscriber to the Lancaster Eagle Gazette for several years. The live updates on the app no longer works. Why is this part of the app still appearing as part of what we see when there is never anything there? It has not worked for at least 10 months. I see that new subscribers will be charged $5.99 after an initial free month. Why am I charged $9.99 each month when I have been a subscriber for many years? Why has my cost gone up when new subscribers pay 40% less? ### 1/5 — Lancaster Eagle Gazette *2019-04-23, version 5.16.1* This had to be one of the worst apps ever!! It is basically worthless!! I tried to call for assistance and I was transferred to a paper in Michigan!! Real helpful!! Why do I pay $38.00 a month for this aggravation!! ### 2/5 — Eagle Gazette won’t open *2024-10-15, version 7.13.0* Unable to get the gazette to work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good info, nothing to throw away! *2025-04-23, version 8.1.0* I like staying current on what’s going on in Lancaster. This totally works for me and there’s nothing to throw away when I’m done with it! Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Love the EG *2022-12-10, version 6.12.5* As a born and bred Lancaster girl, I am enjoying any and all articles. Class of 1964 ### 5/5 — Need more local thingss dzddx *2022-02-20, version 6.10.0* Cover more local society news, births, weddings, engagements and don’t charge so much for those pieces. Return to being a local paper ### 5/5 — Great Sports Editor *2019-10-28, version 5.21.3* TOM Wilson puts in quality time to ensure great coverage ### 5/5 — Love it!!!! *2017-08-08, version 4.12.1* Check it almost daily! ### 5/5 — Eagle gazzett *2017-04-03, version 4.7.1* Awesome best paper in Lancaster Ohio ### 5/5 — It's great *2017-02-21, version 4.7.1* To use the app to read it thru my phone.... thank you!!!!! ### 5/5 — Very Good App *2017-01-06, version 4.7.1* This app works well for me to quickly look at the local news and closings. I use it about everyday. ### 5/5 — Very good *2016-12-14, version 4.7.1* Enjoy getting the local news this way. ### 5/5 — Customer *2016-10-02, version 4.5.0* Love the app it's always at your finger tips don't have to wait for some one to deliver it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
