The Colorado Springs Gazette

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.

Not so much for national or international news

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.

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? One of the most annoying problems is how many stories open in an internal browser instead of the app. This would be fine if it didn’t pop up ads along with a window requiring me to log in. I’m logged into the app! The website is bad, but this app is worse. When reading the digital edition, formatting of text is all wrong, and headlines often don’t belong with the story. It’s almost enough for me to switch to the Denver Post.

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.

I would love to keep up with the Springs but since I live out of State, it is not worth $14 per month. Why not have a $1 per month digital access plan?

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.

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.

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