### 3/5 — App is okay

*2021-09-18, version 6.5.9*

A good way to keep up with hometown news. Sadly the print edition is no longer printed in Gadsden, either Rome, Georgia or Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Sadly the social media app is going away from local news. For $1 a day should have more local news

### 3/5 — Mike

*2020-12-27, version 6.2.0*

Always having problems with the delivery of the paper. The phone service at your office is in shambles.

### 3/5 — Gadsden Times Review

*2017-06-23, version 4.24.210030142*

Not much news in the Gadsden Times and the papers get smaller and smaller.

  Most online readers want to read the obituaries before they go to bed so they can plan their day, yet local obituaries are not available until midnight.  I know the information is available earlier and it would help readers make arrangements to attend funerals that they were not aware of.  Many people are busy when they first wake up and don't have the time to read the paper until later.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2017-04-30, version 4.22.220026421*

This is a very poorly designed app. It's much easier to go to the webpage for Gadsden Times than this. There is no search function on the app!  Perhaps there is somewhere, but here is my rule of thumb: if I open an app and cannot figure out how to use it in five minutes it is a failure and gets deleted. The only reason I would go to the Gadsden Times is to search for something specific, which I cannot do on this app.

### 3/5 — Denver

*2015-12-14, version 4.16.100014130*

The current app is working on my iPhone. The previous version upgrade did not. I wish there were a way to see and read some articles in the Living section. I have friends who write those and enjoy keeping up with local happenings as I live in Denver now. Perhaps I'm missing the menu choice on how to access this area now. However, it was a clear menu choice in prior versions.

### 1/5 — Terrible.

*2015-03-08, version 1.2*

This was a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Subscription required.

*2014-03-06, version 1.2*

You can only view headlines, no articles.

### 1/5 — Deleted!

*2013-08-13, version 1.2*

Loved the app until now. I will not be forced to upgrade my software to use an app.

### 1/5 — Please fix!!!!!

*2012-08-16, version 1.1.0*

The app has been unable to load for days. I'm about to just delete it and be done.

### 1/5 — Waste of time!

*2012-08-15, version 1.1.0*

It wont load anything!! Not worth the one star I had to put

### 1/5 — Meh

*2011-02-16, version 1.0*

I have to say this is little better than a safari bookmark, no iPad optimization but hey it free. I would pay regular subscription price for a proper digitized form of the paper.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No local news

*2024-01-05, version 7.5.1*

Other than the weekly reports on the Etowah County Commission meetings and the Gadsden City Commission meetings there is no local news. Nothing from Glencoe, Hokes Bluff, Altoona, Attalla, Keener, etc. Nothing!

### 1/5 — Not worth a dollar

*2023-01-08, version 6.12.3*

Can’t read articles

### 1/5 — Why not to have a subscription

*2022-12-30, version 6.12.3*

Politically biased against Conservatives and no local sports coverage after Teddy Couch left.

### 1/5 — Can’t read even though subscribed.

*2022-09-18, version 6.12.3*

I am not able to read the articles even though I have a subscription.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2022-08-31, version 6.12.3*

I have subscribed and the app still won’t let me read articles.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-08-02, version 6.12.3*

I’ve tried subscribing but the app doesn’t recognize that I’ve subscribed and keeps asking me to.

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly

*2022-01-19, version 6.8.1*

I’ve deleted and reinstalled several times but it continues to crash. I don’t know why we subscribe. There’s no local news in The Gadsden Times

### 1/5 — Obituary are not available. Why

*2022-01-14*

Thanks

### 1/5 — Obituaries

*2021-12-03, version 6.8.1*

Why can I not get the obituaries online? If this cannot be remedied I will cancel! I check this every day to keep current with former co-workers!

### 1/5 — Fake news

*2021-03-22, version 6.4.0*

This app is full of fake news. The only people who write their articles are racist

novachat

### 5/5 — Gadsden Times

*2017-03-15, version 4.22.220026421*

I really love this app. It helps me keep up with my home town news.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2016-11-18, version 4.20.140021835*

I enjoy this app very much. I can have the news on my iPad. The only negative is there is no "Search" for certain articles. If there is one, I haven't found it. I'm giving it five stars for news content.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2016-09-10, version 4.20.140021835*

Great app so I can keep up with hometown news. Love keeping up with my hometown and county.

### 5/5 — Alsome

*2011-09-26, version 1.0*

Gadsden times app rules the news apps from northeast Alabama

### 4/5 — Best Local News

*2022-03-04, version 6.10.0*

I appreciate all of the hard work that is done to provide us good local news.

### 4/5 — Almost 50 years a Times reader!

*2020-12-03, version 6.2.0*

I am so pleased that the Gadsden Times now has an online option.  We are retired and like to travel and this allows us to keep up and not worry about the paper piling up at the door.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2010-12-21, version 1.0*

This is a nice app. I'd even pay for it if it offered more content. This is not much different than the mobile optimized GT site. Gadsden Times, please come out with a paid iPad app that has all the content of the physical paper.zs

### 3/5 — Obituary are not available. Why

*2025-04-26, version 8.1.0*

Thanks

### 3/5 — App can be difficult

*2022-10-19, version 6.12.3*

I am a subscriber but have had several issues getting into the app. Even though I enter my credentials it sometimes refuses to give me access.
