I can read the news
It's not a perfect app, but it doesn't crash and it allows me to the read the news. It does precisely what I need it to do.
Password
Keeps prompting for passwords
CTInsider App doesn’t work
I can log into CTInsider using web browsers, but not the app. Called for assistance and they have no idea about the app. I’m an engineer who is very knowledgeable about computers and the iPhone, their technical support can only provide basic log in assistance. They will email you links, but that only opens the web browser which works. Obviously the app has issues. Don’t waste your time calling for help.
Horrible App
This app is terrible, it freezes every time I am using it. Can’t scroll without it freezing. Absolutely terrible.
Local news
Not enough news from Naugatuck. More obituaries of residents from Naugatuck.
Outstanding reporting and newspaper
My wife and I live in Tennessee, but are huge supporters and donors of UConn women’s basketball. We also have season tickets. The ct insider provides us with up to date information, great articles not only on UConn , but on Connecticut. We thoroughly enjoy the read and appreciate the real information they provide. Ty
Everything behind a paywall
Pointless. Everything is behind a paywall. Have not been able to open and read a single article in weeks. I’m not saying media isn’t worth paying for. I’m saying this is why far right media outlets are reaching more people. Figure out a business model that works, most people can’t do another subscription right now, and I’m one of them.
It’s very useful.
Easy to use and has good content. A great addition to my local awareness of the peace I live.
Needs more local news…
Just wish there were more articles about local news as well as high school sports. Interesting stuff going on that should be followed.
I wish
I am a subscriber to the NC News Paper. I wish i did not have to sign in every time i want to read your news letter on my phone
Distorted news

Truly enjoyed using it!
Thoughts on content
Please stop sending notifications about sports - I have zero interest / the rest of the paper’s actual news articles are interesting but would appreciate more follow up on stories like Nuvance threatening legislators with bankruptcy and the appalling 70% student performance below grade level in Danbury - heads should roll on that one love a bit more on the arts , music, film, theater , exhibits etc
What
I am not
Not working
App not working currently
Solid app with some key gaps
Need to be able to save favorite articles and search for articles by keyword as well. Also need to be able to comment on articles. Open dialog and debate on issues today is critical. Oh, and it would be great if an article that was opened via an emailed link on a mobile device (or the newsletter you send) redirected to the mobile app if installed or there was a message on the website to download the app if not installed. That’s pretty common functionality for news organizations.
Good but needs improvements
Love the app but when on the website it kicks you back to the Home Screen if you do not sign up but I pay already I think it should bring you to the app if your on the website there’s links I see and click on and I can’t read it unless I go and find it on the app
Local media
I am excited to read the information you provided on the local community and government agencies in our state.
Someone please design a better app
Local stories from weeks ago..STILL on the front page. Newest stories never the forefront. No sort/filter options past the search bar. These clowns don’t actively use the app they charge users for, not to mention give them the latest stories never
Pretty decent app for local CT news
This app nicely brings together local CT news from a group of smaller local papers in other NewHaven Register. however one major short coming is the lack of a search feature. Maybe it’s in here somewhere but I haven’t found a way to search
Good App - Notifications link to nothing
The app overall is pretty good, but when there is a news notification, I’d you click to open the story from the notification, it just opens a blank page in the app, not the article. You then have to navigate back to the home screen and find the article, which isn’t always at the top so is very annoying.
Great app for staying informed
A
E newspaper
No way to get e-newspaper. Basic content very poor. Local news non existant.
Review
It is annoying when I keep getting offers when I already pay for the news. It blocked out the article so I can’t read it.
Unable to use
Despite repeated calls and emails, the app does not allow mean to use. It tells me I have successfully signed in. Let’s me read article, then next article says they recognize my account but it has expired. I can read on the website; but I’m done. Lousy transition from Rep American to Hearst
Excellent app
Clean interface, and easy access to multiple local Hearst newspapers and all of their opinion writers. I rarely give out 5 star reviews but this is a great app!
Local?
I moved out of state yet like to keep up with news from “back home”. When I sadly learned the Republican American had sold I thought I would give CT insider a try. Where are the LOCAL obituaries that the Republican American newspaper covered? If a former co-worker or acquaintance passed l have no way of knowing.
Finally
Great way to access both the local Norwalk Hour and papers from all across Hearst’s Connecticut footprint. This app is a phenomenal replacement to the old apps for each paper that went dark some 3 years ago, and were just glorified portals to the mobile version of the paper’s homepage. Well done!
The Absolute Worst
I have been trying to cancel my subscription to this for a week now. I was contacted once saying they would but then they want a reason as to why I want to cancel? It’s my money I should be able to cancel whenever and who cares the reason. Now no one will respond to my emails and it still has not been cancelled. What a scam! Never subscribe!
Nice news app
I love that I can get news from several newspapers. Nice design, too.
Poor
The app keeps telling me that the address is incorrect and won’t do anything.
