*2023-07-11*

The paper covers world events. My issues are: Horoscope is always in BOLD WHY? The Dear Abby column frequently has her response before the question and repeats the dialogues Late afternoon stories appear 2 days later Trust negative stories about a Democrat’s and the Presidential race are never reported Media steers agendas instead of reporting both sides for the reader to come to their own conclusions How many voters know Four years of Russian Collusion was false and funded through Hillary Clinton

### 4/5 — Get your news quick

*2022-09-28, version 3.6.05*

App is easy to manage and I appreciate getting the news even when I’m not home to read the paper

### 4/5 — Format appreciated, lack of reliability not

*2022-07-26, version 3.6.05*

I appreciate the availability of the traditional newspaper format, however loading issues and the occasional scrambled article distract.

### 4/5 — Reno Gazette-Journal

*2022-06-14, version 3.6.05*

Easy to navigate and always arrives on time. I use an Apple 13 phone. I am very pleased with the E edition, easier to read than the newspaper version and cost less!

### 4/5 — RGJ online

*2022-06-02, version 3.6.05*

I read the Reno Gazette Journal and the Arizona Republic everyday. The Reno paper is far superior because they don't have a political agenda. The Republic is an unabashed Liberal propaganda rag. Read the paper once and you will find the liberal writers outnumber the conservative 9 to 1. And the one conservative is an intellectual that talks on a plane above the average reader. I have read daily newspapers all my 83 years and the Republic is the worst. If I had to read the Republic's Montini , Goodytoshoes and the vicious ladies everyday, I would die. So , I choose to read the Reno paper instead of the local one where I live.

### 4/5 — Works for me!

*2022-03-26, version 3.6.05*

Only problem is occasionally you tap accidentally somewhere and get a big white space. I usually have to close out and reopen to get rid of it.

### 4/5 — Usually works well

*2022-01-21, version 3.5.03*

The app usually works well.

### 3/5 — RGJ

*2021-11-07, version 3.5.03*

Paper is small for a city this size.  I used to get the print edition as I like to sit down with a paper, but the bill never made sense and was not what was advertised so I went strictly digital.

### 4/5 — RGJ

*2021-06-15, version 3.2.48*

Very happy with your newspaper. I receive printed edition and online. My only concern is numerous times paper is thrown in water during spring/summer. We’ve requested delivery person throw it to westside of driveway. 
Thank you

### 5/5 — Love our local rag

*2021-04-22, version 3.2.48*

Have been reading the NSJ/REG(RGJ) for decades. Good stuff!

### 5/5 — Always a link to home

*2021-04-18, version 3.2.48*

No matter where I’m traveling the RGJ is there with news of what’s happening at home. Great!

### 5/5 — Easy to navigate.

*2021-02-04, version 3.2.48*

Pinch in and out to increase size.  Well done

### 5/5 — Online Every Day!

*2021-02-02, version 3.2.48*

Regardless of the amount of snow, rain, or wind that may “hide” my hard-copy newspaper, I know I’m able to read the Reno Gazette Journal online every morning.  The bonus of  USA Today Monday-Friday mornings is a big plus.  Thanks!

### 5/5 — Refreshing!

*2021-01-01, version 3.2.48*

Great newspaper. Hometown with a backbone of national news.

### 5/5 — Local News

*2020-12-29, version 3.2.48*

So important. Thank you

### 5/5 — Rgj

*2020-12-23, version 3.2.48*

Anywhere any time

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2020-12-06, version 3.2.48*

### 1/5 — Monthly. Charge

*2021-02-15, version 3.2.48*

RGJ keeps taking my money but I am unable to access the website and get access to the entire newspaper.  I am so tired of this!!!!

### 1/5 — Continues to Act Up

*2020-10-05, version 2.9.10*

This app used to be very stable, but it has gotten glitchy and either freezes up and closes or removes all the type from the page.  I’m using an iPad and it’s very annoying.  Have to reopen the app and then hope that it continues to work.  Please fix this since I pay for the paper in this format.

### 1/5 — Very Unreliable and Poorly Designed

*2020-01-02, version 2.9.10*

Lately this app has been very unreliable and absolutely no help from the local RGJ for support. Plan to cancel my Print Version of the app and possibly cancel all subscriptions for RGJ services. I don’t think they really have the expertise, understanding or desire to help resolve this inadequacy as they are struggling to stay relevant anymore. They have suggested they are working on it for the last month or so?

### 1/5 — Down Hill

*2019-09-27, version 2.9.10*

This was not too bad for an app, but with the upgrade to iOS 13 it is practically useless. Closes on its own, does not load half the pages, fuzzy and can’t read. Since we pay for this service you should get it up to date with the new operating system on iPads. Now it stinks.

### 1/5 — Can’t use in GB

*2019-07-08, version 2.9.10*

We have been using the app to get the RGJ while traveling, anywhere. This trip, however, every time we click the daily edition, we are sent to a news feature. The daily paper never comes up. One reason for subscribing to the digital version is to see the entire paper, not just news. Gannet needs to fix this!

### 1/5 — Unable to access newspapers

*2018-10-25, version 2.6.87*

Went through all of the confusing steps to access the e-news, including your use of “password “ for my password.  In the process I have even lost my apt.  Presently only reading the news on our 2 delivery dates.
The e-news worked fine for several years until you started asking for passwords each time I accessed my apt.  That’s when things got screwed up.
I am no longer interested in receiving the e-news.

### 2/5 — LEAVE USA TODAY WEEKEND EDITION UP FOR THE WEEKEND!

*2022-05-14, version 3.6.05*

The Weekend Edition appears on Fridays but then disappears on Saturdays.  It is the “Weekend Edition”; please leave it up and accessible until Sunday night!

### 2/5 — Always struggling ...

*2020-11-14, version 3.2.48*

to focus the pages so the print gets readable - and that gets really annoying with the comics. No obvious way to force it.

### 2/5 — Unstable on iPad

*2020-11-06, version 3.2.43*

Every time I open this app, it behaves differently than the last time I opened it. 1. Opening the USA Today bonus edition starts a loop back to the editions page, without opening USA Today. 2. As stated by others, the icon shows png, not rgj. 3. Sometimes the current edition opens, other times other editions, yet other times, I’m taken to the editions page. Very unstable and erratic. Needs work.

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2020-10-25, version 3.2.43*

It would be nice to see you reporting the news without being so one-sided regarding politics. There are two sides, but you wouldn’t know that when reading the Reno Gazette-Journal or USA Today!

### 5/5 — Learn it, love it

*2023-06-09*

My first use of the app was not a great experience. Then, I took about 5 minutes to learn how to navigate the app and my experience has been great ever since that effort.

### 5/5 — Paper anywhere

*2023-04-14*

It’s convenient to have the paper app on the phone and it works well, responsive and intuitive.

### 5/5 — Read on iPad

*2022-12-05, version 3.6.05*

Way better reading RGJ on my iPad.  Also cheaper.

### 5/5 — Easy Read

*2022-09-06, version 3.6.05*

Enjoying RGJ. Reads like the old newspaper only seems like more content.

### 5/5 — Reno Gazette-Journal

*2022-07-21, version 3.6.05*

Crucial local information source, especially due to high-quality journalists.

### 5/5 — Thankyou for preserving print style news

*2022-01-22, version 3.5.03*

As a baby boomer, I’ve always had a printed newspaper in my hand.  With the evolution of digital information I feared the loss.  Accepting change is necessary  but I applaud this hybrid and hope it will be available until my generation is in the rear view mirror.

### 5/5 — RGJ Online is Excellent

*2021-12-24, version 3.5.03*

We continue to enjoy reading the RGJ online.  Keeps us up to date on things even when we travel out of the area.  Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Great way to start my day

*2021-11-27, version 3.5.03*

Easy to use. No fuss. Quick. Love having local journalists.

### 5/5 — App Finally Works - Oct 2021

*2021-11-01, version 3.5.03*

I’ve been using this app for ~4 years, and it’s had some significant issues in the past with graphics/pictures not downloading in a readable resolution, frequent crashes, etc.
However, the current app version (3.5.03) in the past few weeks is FANTASTIC compared to previous versions.
* Graphics consistently download all the time.  (NOTE:  I have my app set to download the entire paper to read offline as soon as I open it—which may have made the difference.)
* But most of all the fit to screen functionality finally works in a usable way.  The new “Swipe” instead of the old “Read” function is exactly what I’ve wanted for years.  When I swipe to a new page, it automatically repositions to the top of the next page.  The “Fit” button actually re-fits the page to fit width-wise instead of showing two full (so tiny they’re unreadable) pages.  AWESOME!
I didn’t realize how annoyed I was with the old version and how cumbersome it was to use until I see the new version work so well.

### 5/5 — Reno Gazette-Journal on line.

*2021-07-28, version 3.2.48*

Much happier reading the full paper on line, living in Idaho, than daily updates with got-ya spend now advertising. I delivered Journal mornings in SW Reno, 92 on  weekdays and 128 on Sundays! During the week I was downtown (Douglas Alley in the clubs) selling the Reno Evening Gazette out of bags over my shoulder! Time frame 1954 thru 1959. Personnel collecting for the door to door was a blessing at Xmas time! Job was fun even in bad weather! Thanks for the moment to share!! John Jepson Reno Hi grad 1963!
