The current version and latest update is mostly good. When I leave the download to do something on another app and return to the Republic, a different style newspaper pops up and not to the same page I was on earlier. I have to take the time to delete that edition and reload from the app. The Republic reloads just as I left it and on the same page I had been on. Annoying distraction. but why?

I've used this app without a subscription for just the most important local news, stories a responsible! news organization should make available to the public. But now I can't even view those stories without a subscription. Sorry, but you're just not worth it when there are apps like AZ family. Uninstalled.

It's bright and intuitive to use. Easy to read and print things out. Appears exactly as the print paper, but also can make any individual article pop up to read even more easily than the print edition.

Adequate digital news app. The basic interface works OK. The app will randomly refresh and reset, even in the middle of an article that is being read. Afterward, the user has to search the featured story list. Finding the article again is hit or miss. E-newspaper is buggy. It frequently reloads the article previously read when one clicks on another article. It also frequently freezes, and the OS asks to wait or shut down the app. Articles are often formatted oddly.

Terrible I just want to read my paper on my phone. App is stuck in a loop and won't let me set notifications to none or don't notify. I can't view or do anything because a pop up to turn on notifications comes up all the time over the screen. You totally ruined the newspaper experience with this new app Makes me want to rethink my subscription. If I can't use it to read my paper why pay for the paper

Can't suspend delivery of daily thru the app. (Among other major shortcomings with all of Gannett's e-delivery products. )

all functions now working. much better...... here's my older review before fixes..... Worked fine on my older Lenovo Tab 10 but on my new Lenovo tab 11 very buggy. Most of the functions don't work or only sometimes and I need to reinstall. Can't find the paper when I download for offline reading and no one gets back to me when I send request through help.

Sorry but I don't pay for something that might just shut down in a few seconds or minutes after you purchase a news app.. Why I say this. You can not guarantee it at all. Specifically when it comes to hacking and cyber attacks across the network connection and for people who use to live in Arizona State.
