The Colorado Springs Gazette アプリのレビュー

Worst News App but the Gazette Obviously Doesn’t Care

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?!! 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. 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? Maybe your executive leadership should be replaced along with your software developers.

Long time subscriber

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.

No edit option for vacation holds

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

No electronic edition again.

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.

Unable to open print edition

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.

Cannot access E Edition

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.

Trump or noTrump

Are you guys for trump or not

Crashes when loading new news stories

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.

Can’t Access Subscribe

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.

Need Affordable Access

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?

need more National and world news

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.

Always current

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

Delivery

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.

Sports coverage not great

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.

Wish you’d Improve the Software and the Copy Editing

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.

Too many emails

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.

Wilmalthompson

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.

Missing newspaper

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

Too Sensitive to Touch

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

Usually great but sometimes not

I’m using the app to read the e-edition. I still like the layout/presentation in the traditional newspaper format, but want to be conscientious about the impact actual paper production makes on the environment. The problem is that many times when I click on the blue highlighted headline to read the entire article when it does not appear entirely on one page, it simply spins (I use an iPad) and forces me to leave the e-edition and reopen it to read the paper.

Great for local news

Not so much for national or international news

Couldn’t be worse

The layout and functionality of this app on an iPhone or iPad are so frustrating that I’m going to cancel my subscription. Furthermore, the comments function of the digital replica of the print version has become nothing more then a forum for partisan shills to offer their screeds. I abandoned Twitter and Facebook ten years ago because of that.

App doesn’t function well

I pay a decent amount for access, and the app constantly pops up ads, asks for repeated sign-ins, just buggy in general. The app needs a lot of work.

Kludgy paper

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.

App not working properly

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.

Buggy, poorly designed

The site is down too often. Not designed for how users want to read and navigate. Confusing non-intuitive buttons.

E edition

I continue to get the paper via all access for the local news and to know what events are going on around town. The cost goes up up up. And the paper has shrunk down to a few pages. I pay much more than the much more comprehensive Denver Post costs. I’d love more extensive coverage of state, National and world news. I’ve been a subscriber for 50 years but may cancel and only get the issue with Go section in it from the newsstand.

Logins

I have to log in two or three times a week

Don’t buy the paper

Their customer service is terrible to deal with. They charged me for papers I didn’t want even after I closed my account. They told me my account was up to date when I canceled but proceeded to send papers and charge me for them and they refuse to take the amount off my bill. They can’t explain why they continued to charge me and they just told me to go read the terms and conditions.

Not a Great Experience

The extreme clutter and flashing of ads make reading any article a miserable experience.

Horrible service!!!

I pay for this and you won’t ever let me see the articles!!!

Late papers

The last few weeks my papers have been delayed several hours or it doesn’t show up at all.

Terrible app

The layout is terrible!

Gazette review

Stick to your commitment of presenting both sides of stories. You endorse Republicans because of their party affiliation and not on their honesty and qualifications. Please be more bipartisan! Get the print paper to me before 6 am. Will not renew when my subscription expires.

Local News Source

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 !

Gazette: the good, the bad and the ugly

Good local and Colorado news coverage Bad slanted articles in favor of right wing and pro Trump causes and issues Ugly: totally biased editorials by seemingly ignorant and extremely right wing editorial board members. The positive thing is that I know who NOT to vote for based on the Gazette recommendation!

No declaration of pay wall

This app fails to declare pay a paywall requirement to read the articles.

Editorial offering out of balance with the community.

Only conservative editorial columnists?

Links in the article never work

I do like getting in depth local and state news that’s hard to find in other places. They do need to fix the issues of all the links posted in the articles don’t work.

Poor digital app!

This app isn’t easy to use!

Late Paper

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.

Lawrence

Have not received at all

Too liberal

The Gazette is becoming way too liberal and sounding like the rest of the fake news.

Best in town !

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!

Log in

It is impossible to log in even though I have a subscription. I just keep being told it is wrong user name or password. Doesn’t matter how many times I update my password. Very frustrating and will probably cancel my subscription since I can use it

Echo Chamber for the Far Right

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

Almost unusable

I get that local papers need ad revenue, but as a subscriber, the level of spammy ads that take over the experience and don’t recognize that I’m signed in make me likely to cancel my subscription. It’s almost unusable on mobile if you want to read more than an article or two.

Enjoy the local news

The paper has good information about the region. I enjoy the events, things to do and see, and the ads. The paper should stop using Associated Press articles which are horribly biased. I would stop my subscription to the paper if/when a replacement is available. Objective, well-researched, current news is my expectation.

Impossible

It’s
