Good updates, especially for those of us who don't have time to keep up with news.

It won't do most things asked of it, like not jumping to other screens while not touching it. Won't stay on browse. Jumps pages I want to read, making me need to remind the page I want. Worst app I have ever used. Hate it. one I have used and loved for years. Bad Papper, Bad! Now in April of 2025 there is good news, They have fixed everything that was wrong and it's better than ever. The A-CT has come from my two star rating to the 5 stars now

App is not allowing me to adjust the size to fit screen and to advance from paragraph to paragraph. Page arrows interfere with reading. Much of these problems started with the update.

Terrible. Can't zoom in and read articles at bottom of page. Today I can't turn the page forward. It's hanging. This app has lots of negative reviews but appears Gannett doesn't care about fixing it. I like supporting the local newspaper but they won't deliver it and so stuck with broken digital.

App promises browser support with subscription, but there is no way to affiliate subscription with newspaper account.

App does not work most of the time. It freezes up or closes on its own. Won't let you close an open article or let you change or page through to another article.

Keeps quitting. Have to keep reloading. Very bad experience with reading paper if I am even able to. I have read the paper for years on my tabl3t and am no longer able to without reloading several times. Many days in the last couple of weeks I can not even finish before I am unable to get it reloaded.

Unfortunately I am unable to sign in so I'm not able to review which means 1 star but should be 0. Since 0 is off the table then it gets 1 star. This is for the app not the Asheville Citizens-Times content.

I have a subscription to the paper. I can get to it on my computer. This phone app used to work fine, letting me access stories as a subscriber. A few weeks ago it apparently "updated," and now when I click on a story, it tells me that I need to subscribe. It does not give me the option of logging in using my subscription information. When I go to the settings to manage my subscription, my choices are to log out of my subscription or uninstall the app. This is frustrating, to say the least.
