Keeping Informed

Every morning I look forward to reading the articles in the garden island. It keeps me informed on what is happening on our island. It prepares me to know what days to get an early start regarding road closures. It also allows me to choose activities during the week, especially the Christmas Craft Fairs.

Staying Current

Great news app with a small town newspaper vibe

Staying in touch

Really enjoying being able to stay “in touch” and current on my favorite island by reading TGI daily when I am not able to be on island!

Helps me keep track of paradise until the day I can move to Kauai!!! NEVER miss the printed paper when I’m there and wish I could get it in Michigan 😊

Informative

Garden island

Enjoy all the local news. Thanks

Updated on the News on Kauai

Enjoying all the Articles so happy to see familiar faces back home. Can’t wait to return to my Home Island.

Works... Most of the time

I’ve had the app for many years. I like the slow crescendo of the selected alarm tone. The big flaw is that the alarm will randomly not sound. The screen shows the alarm, but no sound! At first I thought it related to Bluetooth connectivity. After checking that my phone is not connected to any Bluetooth devices except my Apple Watch many times, the random silence still occurs. I adopted a routine of rebooting my iPhone and restarting the app every night before going to sleep. This seems to help. I also have a backup alarm with the iPhone phone app. A silent wake up alarm has caused issues getting to work on time.

Solve the random silence and this is a 4-5 ⭐️app.

A wonderful alternative to costly Paper/recycling!

I love this version of the Garden Island. So easy to reference and so valuable for the local look at what happens. Island voices. I prefer more local viewpoints, but it now goes through Honolulu oversight, so not as intimate as it once was. Nevertheless, the best thing on Island. Though I confess For Kaua’i should also be included.

Garden Island Newspaper

Enjoy reading the GI.
Born and raised in Kekaha, now live in Southern California.
Nice to read and keep up with happenings back hone.

Love the Print Replica

I really like the print replica way of viewing the newspaper. So much easier to scroll the paper to desired articles and skim over less desirable areas. It’s a little quirky with iPhone and jumps around when zooming in and out which can be hard to deal with. But the print replica is crucial for me.

Very poor interface.

Even this review is clumsy.

Account login now required since last update

As soon as it told me an account was now required to view content - and that the content would be restricted to 10 articles - I deleted this app.

Can’t be on Kauai - it’s the next best thing

App keeps me up-to-date on news & events happening on the garden isle. It features a simple interface with switchable blog & print paper views, and what I love, it isn’t intrusive like other newspaper apps. If you need a beach fix either island side or while stuck on the mainland, it’s a great app to have.
