### 5/5 — I love my Gazette newspaper

*2026-08-15, version 7.5*

I enjoy the articles especially on what’s happing in and around Montreal. I also like the fact that I can use my tablet or cellphone on my way home to relax and do the puzzles. Thank you for continuing to publish. 
Thank you
Yours forever, grateful, and faithful.

### 1/5 — Can’t sign in.

*2026-08-01, version 7.5*

They acknowledged that there is a problem with the app and techies are aware, but no guarantee upon when it will be fixed. Lovely.
It’s now well over a week with no results.

### 2/5 — Can’t access content

*2025-10-28, version 7.5*

If I log in, the app tell me that I have to suscribe to read the paper. Which I am. If I don’t log in, I can read the paper just fine. 
I have just re-suscribed after a few years and I can see that it’s just as boomer tech as it was 10 years ago. Sad.

### 2/5 — I have to constantly delete and re-install

*2025-10-09, version 7.5*

Average, once per week the app tells me to subscribe to read, even though I have been a subscriber for many years. The only solution is to delete the app and then re-install it. I have reported this, but no solution yet.

### 1/5 — Montreal Gazette: Hollowed-out shadow of itself

*2025-08-19, version 7.5*

Dismayed to observe the continuing decline of a once-proud and useful local paper, being diluted by poor quality and largely irrelevant newsmedia content. Shame.

### 1/5 — ShamefulSummer

*2025-08-04, version 7.5*

My husband and I are reading the The Gazette every morning for many years, this paper being the only English one in Montreal. How could you do this to your readers?? Every Mondays ans long weekends you served us with these international articles that you grabbed here and there from different press and you put them together to give us a mish-mash paper with no interest to us. How disrespectful!!! You take your readers for granted pure and simple knowing that we have nowhere to go. Summer vacation!!! That is your reason? Sorry. I read La Presse and Journal de Montreal every morning and they pay their journalists to write and keep people informed even on weekends and during Summer vacations. Why? Because thing happen in Montreal and in the province and they do their jobs as journalists, they are on top of it immediately. NO TWO DAYS LATER LIKE YOU DO NOW. You are loosing your readers, maybe you should rethink your way of serving us the news. IN TIME. Francine Duplessis Stolberg St-Laurent.

### 2/5 — Content and performance

*2025-07-31, version 7.5*

The content of the paper is worsening over time, after what was a noticeable improvement one year ago. The Monday paper should be discontinued at this stage. Performance wise, I have sign in issues at least once each month, with technical support taking 2-3 days to reply with a solution.

### 1/5 — App does not work properly

*2025-07-15, version 7.5*

I have o read the Globe&Mail to get in depth info of many Quebec news EX Business

### 1/5 — Gazette ePaper

*2025-05-11, version 7.5*

We are print paper subscribers    Deducted each month automaticaly from our account.   We are unable to access the gazette ePaper
Either through the app or google.     I have contacted the gazette through their suggested channels and followed their instructions.
We are still unable to access the gazette ePaper o/l.   
Not impressed and would love a solution

### 2/5 — Platform

*2025-04-26, version 7.5*

The Gazette needs to invest in a more robust social media platform. The current offering is unstable and unreliable.
