### 3/5 — Review

*2026-05-02, version 50.12.140063279*

Please date articles

### 2/5 — No updates

*2026-04-14, version 50.12.140063279*

The app isn’t updated regularly. You have to visit the website for latest news. I wish they would update the app daily.

### 4/5 — Long time subscriber

*2024-08-25, version 50.03.190061461*

A morning without the Gazette is like a morning without tea. Even though it has gotten more liberal and expensive lately I still think it’s important to keep our daily local paper. We have had the same carrier for years and greatly appreciate him. He’s as reliable as the sun. June Heimsoth.

### 2/5 — No edit option for vacation holds

*2024-07-31, version 50.03.190061461*

You can’t fix the dates of your vacation holds if anything changes. Not good.

### 1/5 — Can’t Access Subscribe

*2024-04-28, version 50.03.190061461*

I was interested in subscribing.  Unfortunately clicking on Subscribe doesn’t do anything.  All other buttons on the page work.  Then I read the reviews about the quality of the app.  I hope they work out the bugs.  Maybe I’ll reconsider if the quality improves.

### 1/5 — Worst News App but the Gazette Obviously Doesn’t Care

*2024-04-24*

I don’t see how this app gets 4.3 stars unless most reviewers are bots. This app needs a lot of work, but it only seems to get worse. Today, the links and comments in the E-Edition don’t work; taps just zoom in or out. It repeats stories in the feed, and rarely is the day’s top story near the top of the front page or the Top Stories page. Instead, Top Stories lists stories from days ago. Heck, most stories in today’s print edition are difficult or impossible to find in the app. How about giving extra weight to recent stories instead of keeping 2 week old stories near the top only because they were popular for a day or two? Why does the app reset and lose my current reading location if I let my iPad sleep for a few minutes?!! The website is bad, but this app is worse and seems to get worse with each update. And don’t get me started on the poor editing and the takeover by the Washington Examiner. We only subscribe to the digital edition, but I’m not sure for how much longer before we switch to the Denver Post. Are the Gazette and Washington Examiner so poor that you can’t afford decent developers for your app? How do you expect to get more views, and thus more ad revenue, when you have one of the worst apps in the world?  Do you even know what it takes to have a quality news app?  Maybe your executive leadership should be replaced along with your software developers.

### 3/5 — Need Affordable Access

*2024-03-09, version 50.03.190061461*

I understand your costs, but I moved out of state and cannot justify your high monthly digital subscription fee. How can I get access for $1 per month?

### 4/5 — need more National and world news

*2024-02-09, version 50.03.190061461*

I think the Gazette needs to expand the National and world news sections with everything going on these days, including the bad news.  The United States as a whole is on a declining trajectory on the world stage and the citizens need to hear more about that so they can be warned.

### 4/5 — Delivery

*2024-02-04, version 50.03.190061461*

I feel like I have a subscription to the afternoon edition of the Gazette. 
I occasionally get morning delivery, but late morning or early afternoon delivery has become the norm. 
Please understand that late delivery is not an acceptable.  
Please work to fix this issue.

### 3/5 — Sports coverage not great

*2024-01-29, version 50.03.190061461*

Overall the Gazette is an ok paper.   However there is very little to no coverage of local sports.  Especially UCCS, CC and AFA sports that are not football, hockey or basketball.   If you want coverage of local collegiate sports this is not your paper.

### 1/5 — Worst News App but the Gazette Obviously Could Not Care Less

*2024-01-28*

This app needs a lot of work. It repeats stories in the feed, and rarely is the day’s top story near the top of the front page or the Top Stories page. Instead, Top Stories lists stories from days ago. Heck, most stories in today’s print edition are difficult or impossible to find in the app.  How about giving extra weight to recent stories instead of keeping 2 week old stories near the top only because they were popular for a day or two? Why does the app reset and lose my current reading location if I let my iPad sleep for a few minutes?!! The website is bad, but this app is worse and seems to get worse with each update. And don’t get me started on the poor editing and the takeover by the Washington Examiner.

### 3/5 — Wish you’d Improve the Software and the Copy Editing

*2024-01-02, version 50.03.190061461*

The e-edition (really just a facsimile of the print edition) is constantly closing after a few minutes of inaction by the reader.  Each time this happens it forces me to reopen the e-edition and find my place again - not what would happen with a print edition.
On the other hand, if I try to read by clicking on individual stories, the formatting is really distracting, with missing and repeated lines and poor copy editing.  Since the copy editing is already pretty bad in the print/e-edition, the level of distraction from poor grammar/spelling/usage becomes just too high for pleasurable reading.

### 1/5 — Worst News App

*2023-11-22*

This app needs a lot of work. It repeats stories in the feed, and rarely is the day’s top story near the top of the front page or the Top Stories page. Instead, Top Stories lists stories from days ago. How about giving extra weight to recent stories instead of keeping 2 week old stories near the top only because they were popular for a day or two?  Why does the app reset and lose my current reading location if I let my iPad sleep for a few minutes?!! The website is bad, but this app is worse and seems to get worse with each update.

### 1/5 — Too many emails

*2023-11-21, version 50.03.190061461*

If you sign up for the Gazette you will be inundated with many emails every day. Unsubscribe doesn’t work. The only way to turn these off is to actually call them.

### 1/5 — Wilmalthompson

*2023-11-20, version 50.03.190061461*

I’m not sure you know I have an account on line. Tried to use it one day about a month ago and could not get in. Password Problem. But you sure know how to charge me for that Sunday delivery.

### 3/5 — Too Sensitive to Touch

*2023-09-02, version 50.03.070060944*

The slight rich of a finger and the screen goes haywire.  Hard to refund your place.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Hate the ads at bottom of the page

*2026-07-25, version 50.12.140063279*

Hate ads at bottom of page

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2026-01-25, version 50.12.140063279*

Too many Fake reviews!  The app is worthless.

### 1/5 — Fake reviews

*2025-08-05, version 50.12.140063279*

Terrible app with what seems like MANY fake reviews to get their numbers up.

### 1/5 — Just as bad as web version of e-edition

*2025-06-28, version 50.12.140063279*

It’s amazing how long the gazette’s on line experience has been absolutely terrible.

### 1/5 — Fake reviews

*2025-01-29, version 50.12.140063279*

Seems like this app has many many fake reviews to make themselves look better.  Typically this app has a one or two star rating.  Horrible application.

### 1/5 — Worst News App but the Gazette Obviously Doesn’t Care

*2024-10-31, version 50.03.190061461*

Why does the app reset and lose my current reading location if I let my iPad sleep for a few minutes?!!  In fact, just now I was actively reading the digital edition in the app and it refreshed & took me back to the front page!!!  The website is bad, but this app is worse and seems to get worse with each update. And don’t get me started on the poor editing and the takeover by the Washington Examiner. We only subscribe to the digital edition, but I’m not sure for how much longer before we switch to the Denver Post.

### 1/5 — No electronic edition again.

*2024-07-12, version 50.03.190061461*

I won’t mention the far-right editorials or columnists this time, since you know what you are. 
But I’m paying for both home and electronic delivery and once again, the electronic portion has failed. Please fix. I just can’t wait for the Gazette-Examiner to endorse a convicted felon and neo-fascist.

### 1/5 — Unable to open print edition

*2024-07-08, version 50.03.190061461*

I am frequently unable to open the print edition on the app…. three calls to the technical help center and they have been absolutely no help. I still must open the print edition through Chrome and it is a bit circuitous to get the newspaper open.  The only reason I struggle on is that I like reading my hometown newspaper when I am at work, which takes me many time zones away.

### 1/5 — Cannot access E Edition

*2024-06-02, version 50.03.190061461*

Signed up for 3 months of on line access for .99 and I have not been able to get signed in. When I go through the process to reset my password I never receive the email to do that. Not sure how to fix this.

### 1/5 — Crashes when loading new news stories

*2024-05-12, version 50.03.190061461*

This app is a joke. It crashes whenever it loads new news stories. Developers, please take a look at the Apple News app which manages to gracefully load new stories, with them just appearing at the top of the Today page, without crashing the app.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Keep supporting

*2026-03-15, version 50.12.140063279*

Keep supporting the JudeoChrisrian values and people will like you and subscribe

### 5/5 — Trump or noTrump

*2024-05-22, version 50.03.190061461*

Are you guys for trump or not

### 5/5 — Always current

*2024-02-08, version 50.03.190061461*

Great paper for current local news! Supportive of local events, sports  
Etc!

### 5/5 — Missing newspaper

*2023-10-29, version 50.03.180061321*

I no longer receive the e edition by email. You can’t seem to fix the problem.

### 5/5 — Kludgy paper

*2023-02-07, version 40.37.190060241*

I’m a longtime subscriber of the Gazette and deeply concerned, but what a mess it’s become. Like bad puddles on a rainy day I find myself having to “frog hop” over and around pop up ads that are distracting and interfering with the flow of an article.

I am constantly challenged by repeated demands to sign in.  The pages jump around and test the readers patience. I have very little faith in that you will do anything about this because, if you were going to, you could not have missed this situation, and would have taken proper steps. $16.99 should buy an unfettered visit of an otherwise well written paper.

if you can’t clean it up and I’ll send my message to Phil.

### 5/5 — App not working properly

*2023-01-30, version 40.37.190060241*

What’s the deal with the Gazette App?  Normally it works great.  For the past five days all I can read is the first page and then all the other pages are locked?  I re-logged into the App and had the same problem.

### 5/5 — Local News Source

*2022-10-19, version 40.35.570056715*

Been at Colorado Springs eight years. Became aware over this time that I knew very little about our home community. At Kings, shopping, one day,and, A Gazette representative presented a deal I couldn’t resist.
So begins the journey of connecting locally.
My wife likes hard copy. I enjoy digital sourcing.
Formerly, Sleepless in Colorado Springs !

### 5/5 — Late Paper

*2022-04-24, version 40.35.570056715*

I love the Gazette - but it is chronically late. I know there is a shortage of carriers. However, not receiving our paper until after 9:30 - 10am, it’s beyond the time where we can actually read it. I’m going to be very happy when we have a carrier that can get our paper to us by 7:30.

### 5/5 — Best in town !

*2022-02-01, version 40.35.570056715*

Always informed through well information 
through our local Gazette!  Good stories and articles, community, weather, cooking recipes, horoscopes, real estate markets, matters of opinion, doctor’s advices through public questions and the comics, coupons and what is best is that I can always read the e-edition on the go!

### 5/5 — Echo Chamber for the Far Right

*2021-07-26, version 40.35.570056715*

The GT editorial board is about as far right as they come. Not worth a subscription to read their small minded garbage.
