Newspaper
I enjoy reading the paper daily. I don’t watch the TV news so this helps me keep current. I don’t like how the weather page tells me the daily weather from 2 days ago. I would rather read what the day before was. I don’t care about 2 days ago
Not user-friendly
No place to change password or credit card on site. No emails sent to reset password.
Not spacing between sentences
This seems to be a common practice , these glaring errors,don’t make for a Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper. Children in 6th grade know better!. William Byron
Doesn’t work at first first time
Must close the app and relaunch to get it to work, every time. Please fix.
Podcasts
I’m not happy with a newspaper article that is just a teaser for the podcast. Just put the whole article in the paper rather than piquing interest in a topic then send big me elsewhere to learn more.
Easy to maneuver
I read the paper on my IPad every morning. The app is easy to use and is intuitive. It keeps me signed in so I don’t have to deal with my password. I love that I can read papers from different cities available in the Editions section.
AZC New App
HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!
Read every day
I enjoy getting the news on my laptop or iPad. The daily crossword is fun.
App experience
Yes, I am a “seasoned” subscriber (since 1979) but have easily adjusted to changes over the years. I am still a faithful reader and supporter of the AZ Republic. What I Do Not Enjoy however, is paying for a monthly subscription that forces me to use an app that flashes advertisements I must X out of. It is highly annoying and frankly unfair to a paying customer.
How can “Obituaries” be removed from the bottom selection panel?
Does it need to prominently display at the bottom?
Good morning
Wouldn’t, know what to do with myself without my morning news paper. Love it!
New app?
Still Awful. Cannot update notification.
good app with dated and repetitive content
I’ve used the app for several years and find it easy to use & navigate. However, the actual content presented has become increasingly disappointing. Often, the ‘news’ presented is 2-3 days old and frequently there are articles that had already been published in previous editions. This supports my belief that Phoenix media is substandard overall (print & TV) when compared to other major markets. The media here does little in the way of deep dives into the nuances of what is occurring in our communities. They seem content to conveniently skim the surface.
Like this version.
Should be more Arizona news.
Many Choices of Newspapers
We live in Arizona so I read the Arizona Republic edition. My husband, being a South Carolinian switches to the Greenville edition. Everybody is happy. What more do you need.
Yuck
This paper sucks!
Great paper but one issue
I enjoy reading the Arizona Republic E-edition. Reporting is balanced and factual. Only issue I have is that they repeat the same articles on different days. I’ve seen the same exact article printed up to three times. It happens in every addition.
Convenient
I read the printed edition daily. On an iPad Pro it’s a fairly convenient experience, although the type is slightly smaller I think than in the actual printed paper. However, it reliably shows up on my on my iPad every morning (unlike the printed edition). Over time, they’ve taken care of most of the interface glitches and now it’s a fairly smooth experience.
Motion ads in articles
Please STOP the ads with motion buried in each article!!! The animals peeking out of nuts or trees is HUGELY ANNOYING! I pay for this app so I shouldn't have to endure this in EVERY ARTICLE.
I enjoy reading it
Pros: you can read an entire article without having to fumble through pages for the continuation.. good coverage of local news…. Cons:.. coverage seems more behind than it used to be…. You don’t have the variety of columnists that you used to, especially the local ones.
Enjoyable and easy reading
The newspaper is easy to read, easy to pick sections you want to read and in what order. Natural newspaper layout pleasing to the eye.
Unreliable
Every now and then, this app asks me to sign in. That's bad enough, because I usually stay signed in. But then when I try to sign in or restore my purchase, the app won't let me. And when I call customer service, they are closed and hang up on me. About 3 or 4 layers of frustration. What gives?
Facts, but why are opinions in the back?
I enjoy the enewspaper version. I’m disappointed so many authors “retired”, and that the opinion page moved towards the back. Format like a newspaper is preferable to the USA Today format. Keep investigating and telling the facts and identifying the opinions.
New eNewspaper “Old habits and daily routines” are hard to break
There are aspects I am still learning about this new format but overall I am learning them - slowly.
Terrible coding
This app never works the same way twice. Been on help line six times with no permanent resolution.
Richard
You keep changing used to be able to see each page in a full screen and read articles by moving up and down on the page and then go to the next page. Now cannot see a full page and trying to move around on the page is near impossible. Quit changing the app and process and go back to the way it was
Great
A great way to start the day
The new site is buggy and terrible and I hate the changes.
The new site is buggy. I get not response ten I get all the backlogged taps I made to get this thing to respond in the first place
Read Everyday
I read this everyday now. I get AZ Republic Newspaper and I get to read / browse through AZCentral now. For the longest time they separated them but now I can read both. For a local, national and international news junkie this the best of both worlds. Though it seems the Republic is now leaning more to the left unfortunately… I initially liked it because it was moderate but now leans left especially in most editorials. Go back to your more moderate days and just report the news.. a leftie spin or perspective from most reporting is really a dis-service.
Exceptional journalism
This is my hometown paper. I didn’t always love them. But I always appreciated them. They don’t align with my political philosophy. But they report the news. That’s why I want a newspaper.People, you won’t appreciate local journalism until it’s gone. God help us if that ever happens
New App = No Go
I agree with reviewers unhappy with tweaks and changes. The new one now disappears when I tap the icon. Poof. Gone, just like unbiased reporting did years ago. I now have no access at all. Maybe just as well. Thank you app developers for ruining anything functional.
Good articles
News seems impartial
Az Central App Review
I’ve really enjoyed using this app in the past. I thought with a monthly subscription that the digital version would be free. But it appears that now I have to pay 99 cents for six months and then it jumps to $6.99.
Used to be great
This is worse than social media. You can’t simply read a story with every paragraph bookended by unrelated pictures and stories. Might be time to delete
Yuch!
Previous app was a better layout and more local news. If I want to read USA Today (News Light), I'd download the app.
