Pros and cons of The Colorado Springs Gazette app for iPhone and iPad
The Colorado Springs Gazette app good for
I really like the news updates in my iPhone notifications. I receive the print version at home, but when I am away, usually the last few days news in the recycle bin. Sometimes my in-laws whom are visiting consume the newspaper also.
Works flawlessly and am happy to see local newspaper make the jump to mobile
The Gazette recently initiated a pay wall that only allows subscribers unlimited access to the most popular stories or opinion pieces. While I prefer my news free, I believe that a subscription is well worth the cost for in depth local reporting.
The only complaint I have is that the reporters blogs are not available or at least I have not been able to find them on the app.
Anyway, good reporting and in-depth reporting is worth the price. It costs money to produce the stories so I do not mind paying the price.
I read the Gazette app daily and enjoy all the
Features. Just wish the comics were included.
Keep doing the great work.
Complete insight into local news, current and succinct. Love it
The Gazette app allows me to check on "new" news and keep up with ongoing stories. Works great for me.
Some bad moments
Very slow and crashes before I can get through a single article. [Running on an older iPad 2 but with up-to-date ios release -- maybe they only test on newer models?]
Great that I win some amazing prize every time I open the app. Then it decides I need to download an app of their choosing.
...and intrusive advertisements which make the using the app to read anything more than headlines worthless.
Ive been trying to follow the Gazette for a few years, but I give up. There are constant freezes after load up. And of course, one gets the constant reminders of "your final free article" of the month. Gag.
I enjoy the content, but, the app consistently crashes. This issue needs to be addressed. The speed is fine.
News content is fine, unfortunately it is constantly interrupted by pop ups and ads on the mobile app. Active duty member utilizing the free access who is constantly blocked. Very annoying.
