### 1/5 — Same information day-after-day

*2021-06-20, version 6.5.8*

I’m not sure it if’s the app or just poor editing at the Chieftain. I see the same stories on the app with little new content even though I see new stories on the local news shows. I have to hear news about my community from neighbors instead of the local newspaper. What a shame!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-07-30, version 1.1*

Since the company was bought by an out of state corporation, this app had been terrible. Stories take forever to load. And you can only read an article or two a month, when before stories were free & paid subscriptions accessed extra content. It is a useless app now. No local news. No state, national, or international news. Wish it was different but I’ll get my non-local need from the AP & be in the dark on local news. 😠

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2019-08-24, version 1.0*

This app is difficult to use. Can’t maneuver around or tell what is an ad & what is news!

### 1/5 — News aggregator, local news comes second

*2019-08-24, version 1.0*

The v1 If this app feels more like a poor news aggregator than a local news app. I waded through articles attributed to the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and a couple of article-sized ads before getting to the first local news story. The app seems to optimize for article recency and ad revenue rather than local relevance or even national/global/regional significance.

### 1/5 — Pitiful version of hometown paper

*2025-05-31, version 8.1.0*

As a 30+ year subscriber to the Pueblo Chieftain, I am incredibly disappointed in this new online version where you can’t customize the font (for older eyes), and it looks NOTHING like a newspaper.  Ads are cheesy, low-class physhing type ads that promise quick weight loss if you add some secret ingredient.  Where is our Pueblo News????

### 1/5 — New E-edition issues

*2025-02-22*

E - Newspaper on this app is terrible using Apple iPad. Has many problems. Does not function properly. Too many issues to list. Please bring back older (blue icon) app for E Newspaper. It worked well.

### 1/5 — New E-edition issues

*2025-02-19*

Just loaded new E - Edition app. Getting used to it, but seems like when I have it in “fit to page” mode, then scroll down thru page and select arrow to advance to the next page of e edition it does not go up to the top of the next page. I find this frustrating as I now must scroll up to begin viewing this page. Old app used to go to top of page when advancing. Maybe this is a glitch with new version of app. So far liked old version better. Don’t know why change was made.

### 1/5 — App restarts in middle of an article

*2024-01-02, version 7.5.1*

While I’m in the middle of an article app reloads. Many times when you want to read an article the text won’t load. It makes it impossible to read.

### 1/5 — E edition app on apple devices keeps crashing

*2022-06-03, version 6.10.0*

For several weeks e edition for Pueblo Cjieftain app on my Apple devices has been crashing. I click on an article to open it in the reading pane and app closes. I can no longer open it. I must wait for the next days edition to come out to be able to open app again. Please fix this right away or you will loose me as a customer once again. I have reported this problem previously. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

### 5/5 — Average

*2023-12-10, version 7.5.1*

I like keeping up with what’s happening locally but most of the news is old.

### 5/5 — Raised in Pueblo

*2022-12-22, version 6.12.5*

I grew up in Pueblo in the 1950’s.  My Dad was a draftsman at CF&I.  I enjoy seeing stories about places from my past and sometimes names of people I still remember. Nice to see how Pueblo has progressed.  I camp occasionally at Lake Pueblo State Park—a beautiful state asset.  The Chieftain does a good job reporting about local events.

### 4/5 — New E-edition issues

E - Newspaper on this app is terrible using Apple iPad. Has many problems. Does not function properly. Too many issues to list. Please bring back older (blue icon) app for E Newspaper. It worked well.

Update 3-12-2025. Been sending feedback each day expressing my concerns and asking for a response from Pueblo Chieftain. I have not received courtesy of them even notifying me they have received my messages and concerns about the app. Terrible customer service.

### 3/5 — The Pueblo Chieftain Subscription

*2023-10-18*

We are enjoying our subscription.  
Our new paper deliverer does a outstanding job!

Thank you very much.

### 3/5 — 2 things

*2021-11-30, version 6.8.1*

They continue to post old stories and real news isn’t always on front page. 
I have a problem reading obituaries. When I click to read entire obit when done reading I have to go back to 1st one to read the rest. I’m sure it’s an algorithm issue that reader can’t just continue scrolling.

### 2/5 — Useless- Slow and lacking local content

*2019-10-20, version 1.1*

Some stories take 30+ seconds to load. The home page takes nearly a minute to “refresh” after a story is closed. From what I can tell “refreshing” equates to new ads, the content and order of content seems to stay the same. Only about 30% of the stories are local news, disappointing for a “local” news app. The paper’s new ownership doesn’t seem to value the importance of local news to locals or to those interested in our community.
