Nice to have news while traveling. Only in Europe does it say not supported. I read it every day. I love keeping up on local news and events.

Photos don’t load. A lot of blankety blank places on the stories as the photos don’t load (iPad iOS 14.4). But of course they make sure the ads load ok. Same issue on my iPhone. I deleted the app and canceled subscription.

App is useless. Freezes every time I log in no matter the browser. I just go on Google to access. Please address the issue.

Would be good if free. Most of the content in this news app requires a subscription. Pretty worthless without that subscription. In a world where most internet news content is free, I can’t understand why RGJ feels the need to charge. Other Reno-based internet news apps are free, and are just as reliable. Go with one of those.

RGJ. It’s easy and convenient to read the paper in this app. There are choices to choose between articles and the whole paper and the app is responsive to enlarging for details. The ability to get notifications tailored to your interests is and plus.

Can’t find the e-edition on phone. Not happy that Saturday paper went to e edition only!! I followed the tutorial and I see topics but not the ”newspaper” style view. If you start reading sections, it keeps going to prior days news.

Connection to our community. It’s easy to stay connected to our local community while also getting updates about our country.

Can you go back to using PNJ?. Your version doesn’t cut it, doesn’t load crisp text unless restarted. The Pensacola News Journal seems to have it figured out.

Not Really Getting the Paper BEWARE. Was unable to leave just zero stars. I thought the $10 subscription would support my local paper and allow me to read the news, but this app does NOT show you all of the RGJ. Barely two new stories appear each day in the “Top Stories” section. If you want to view the $10 as a donation and simply delete the app after downloading it that is one thing, but if you are looking for news in Northern Nevada you will not find it here. Avoid this app! Don’t be tempted by any cheap offers it still isn’t worth it.

Good app, but doesn’t work with iOS 14.. The app, separate from the news content, would rate 4 stars. It stopped working with the advent of iOS 14. It starts to open, then crashes. The news content you will have to judge yourself.

Good source of local news. Good source of local news and thorough articles. I also enjoy the USA newspaper included.

RGJ. Currently out of state keeping up on the home front. Thanks RGJ

It’s nice to have a local news source but there are limits. The news is ok. The app is bad. It is confusing to negative. There are sections like a real newspaper (sports, business, etc) but some of the stories are six months old. Please include a date on the story title so I don’t open it thinking it’s news. Or better just show the stories from the day and then allow people to go into the archives and pull up old stories. But don’t have the old stories there just to fill space.

RGJ App rocks. Way easier to navigate than the website. Also, the team at RGJ is doing a grand job covering the Covid19 stories that are affecting all of us here in Reno/Tahoe area.

Lacks updates. Way too many outdated articles taking up valuable real estate on the app. Please rotate stories after a week. Some stories have been on there for over a month. Lacks new relevant content.

Icon is for another newspaper. In the latest update, the icon changed to PNJ, which I believe is the Pensacola (Fla.) News Journal, not RGJ. Great quality assurance work, guys. App also frequently crashes after a few pages.

RGJ Love the viewing options. It is great that all the platforms are availble for viewing.

Great news app!. Nice layout. Great notifications. Not too many ads.

Great news, great app.. I’m surprised at how well designed this app works and the notifications are good as well.

Keep it up, thank you,!. Thanks

Impossible to cancel. This is a subscription to the Reno journal but it is through iTunes and it is very difficult to manage. Frequently asked questions tells you to change it in your setting the automatic renewal but the option never appears. I hate it!

Best sports coverage!. Love the video that Murray leads on Monday. Great sports coverage from all 3 gentleman. Would love more videos. Like press conference videos as well. Good Wolf Pack stories. A little more boxing coverage would be nice.

Notifications infuriating. There's nothing wrong with the app, other than its refusal to follow its own notification settings. Important and breaking news means I only want to be notified about important and breaking news. If I want to be interrupted for sports, I will choose notifications for sports. It’s infuriating. But I guess that tells what they think is important news coverage....

RGJ. News at the touch of a fingertip. Love the preps baseball articles.

PAID subscription. Should not be forced to watch 6 video advertisements when I pay for a subscription

RGJ joke newspaper. What kind of business (especially news paper) cancels my years old subscription (no one could tell me why). Sunday was the last paper I was able to read. The app changed to PNJ on screen which is weird. Every time I try to open the app it gives me the option of which edition I want to read, click any one and get a message that says “Sorry” please go to website or call to rectify problem. I sent 3 emails since Monday with no response. I called and talked to someone in India who said they have no record of my existence! After a 40 min call I asked to start a new subscription. She asked when I would like my subscription to end, with the max at 5yrs, I said yes. Then it occurred to me that is roughly when I changed my old subscription so they automatically cancel subscriptions at 5 yrs. Who does that!! As of today I still cannot access their paper, soon to be canceled:)

I really like the app, except for..... The app works very well, easy to use, pages load quickly. However, the obituary section could use an overhaul. When clicking on someone's name it opened it up and, again, has to click "read more" to read the obituary. Then when you click back to go to all the obituaries it reverts back to the start, not to the list you were scrolling down, so you have to start all over. In addition, I use an iPad and for some reason about 90% of the articles will not open anymore, suddenly. I have to "save" them and then open them in the "saved" section. However, without those two challenges it is a very good app.

Poor app. Wanted money right away. Not going to pay just to see how well it works, definitely not sharing my personal info for them to sell to telemarketers. My experience with the paper is they are very slow to get out the news compared to the TV stations. They rely to heavily on content from USA Today and the AP to fill space. I don’t mind paying if the quality is good, unfortunately it’s not. Reno needs more than one daily for some competition. They really quit trying years ago.

Sometimes not load. Annoying pop up ads. I had to unload and load the app because it stopped loading an edition Now I get annoying pop up ads. And I cannot get to bonus content I will probably cancel Freezes on my ipad

Poorly designed. Poorly designed and very glitchy. It constantly just closes for no reason. The option of reading a format similar to a print newspaper is super sensitive to manipulating the page and often just closes it. I also haven’t figured out how to print the puzzles (some people like to use pen/pencil and paper). Also, many of the interest stories, such as gardening advice aren’t relevant for this area; they’ve been picked by the parent company instead of tapping local talent. Unfortunately, our “local” paper is no longer local. I’m close to canceling my subscription.

Poorly designed. Used to be the app showed the actual paper on the left side of the screen and when you clicked on the article, it would pop up on the right side of the screen where you could read it. Also, it was very easy to select “Editions” and go back and read previous versions of the newspaper. No more. After an update, it now looks like a Website search result: Pictures, headlines, videos. What is on the front page of the Reno Gazette Journal? I have no idea as the powers-that-be have decided national Top Stories should be listed first (RGJ typically has local stories on the front page but this app now shows national headlines). Further down I did identify some stories that were in the RGJ but these were yesterday’s articles, not today (there were no dates either in the head lines or in the article itself but I read a hard copy the day before so I knew it was old news). Want to call up an article from Friday’s paper? Good luck. With the previous version, you just clicked on Editions and selected the paper you want. Now, there is no option for selecting yesterday’s paper, or the day before, etc. Probably going to cancel RGJ subscription as I don’t want to spend an hour each day sifting through all the stuff they have listed - I just want to read what is in today’s paper but that doesn’t appear to be possible with the “new and improved” app.

Can’t seem to link to subscriber information. About once a month the app starts saying I can only read a few more articles despite the fact I have automatic payments to RGJ.

App stopped working two days ago.. This newspaper is pretty poor quality now. I have kept my subscription to support the paper even though I left Reno years ago. Now sure I will renew!

Headline links go to blank screens on iPhone.. Links embedded in headlines go to blank screens on iPhone. That makes it pretty much useless as headlines are often written to capture one’s attention to read the article, and not always the take away from the article if it is read.

Does not work. The “print” app does not work at all. “No internet connection “ displays when every other app has no trouble connecting to the internet. There’s an icon for help which leads to a “not available” message. No contact information.

Where is today’s paper?. This app is limited to past stories that someone thinks are popular. It is not possible to find the front page or any other specific section in the traditional format. Just a feed of hyped stories. Actual Reno news is generally absent. Right now burning man is the overriding anything else.

Very buggy and overly complicated!. The latest app version as combined the two different versions (e-newspaper and online internet) and is very buggy and harder to navigate! I liked the older version where you could just open the e-newspaper directly and it opened and offered to open the latest daily version. It rarely asked for your login subscription. Now, it takes multiple clicks to get there (when the app is working) and requires multiple sign ins get the e-newspaper. It apparently doesn’t keep you logged in from day to day. You also can’t refresh the download to correct blurry images and comics. Today I got a message that the app “wasn’t working properly and try again later”. I would recommend an optional setting that prioritizes the e-newspaper upon opening the app. It also has separated the USA Today and RGJ versions which also requires additional navigation clicks to view where the old version just had the USA Today follow the RGJ e-newspaper automatically.

Love It. Clean presentation with all the latest news.

Too many ads. As a long time subscriber - why are there so many additional ads? And why does the app always boot you out and make you sign in again? This app hasn’t improved in years.

Junk!. Unbelievable that a news app requires a sign in every time it is used. Unfortunate it is the only local news source.

A Newspaper That Still Investigates. In days past, local newspapers could be counted on to be truly connected to their communities. They held sway. They held those in power accountable. They served a greater good. As news organizations have been gobbled up by a corporate super structure that diminishes or eliminates local coverage, it is more than refreshing that despite its national corporate ownership, the RGJ rigorously reports on local issues. Even more stunning is that the RGJ continues to support true investigative reporting, especially where government and government actions are concerned. I live in Phoenix, AZ. Our newspaper is owned by the same company and there is rarely any substantive and investigative reporting related to state and local government. I appreciate the work of the RGJ and am a paid subscriber to their work.

Poor. Won’t let me sign in. I know my email and I know my password. So there must be something wrong with the Captca. But who knows betI just get sent back to the beginning with no explanation. After many attempts, I decided to reset the password. Guess what! That function is not working at this time.

RGJ. Our local news source

App looping. Latest update includes pop up ads that take up the entire screen and don't always scroll away. Had to force close the app. Deleting and replacing with print edition app.

A great newspaper. I really enjoy reading the print edition in the morning while I drink my coffees. I refer to the digital edition for updates and read USA Today

Review. Great to be able to view anytime !!!

Subscription knocked off line. My e subscription is consistently not working and getting knocked off line

Misleading and missing key information. I have used this app for close to two years to give it a fair chance and it has consistently published news stories with false claims. A quick glance at any other news source demonstrates the quantity of fair-sided information that is left out and this source has continued to publish information that is untrue or one-sided. The information goes as far to continue pushing stories which have been recalled in other sources for errors. I would not recommend for someone interested in a full picture of any story.

Easy to use. Easy app to navigate and use. Recommend for anyone looking for newspaper app.

Bug issues and spam. This app used to work but theres a bug and spam issues. I hope it get fixed and i can use it again

Big improvement!. I had the last RGJ app, and this one is much better. Easy navigation to any section I'm looking for. Plus, I love the news push alerts.

Please cancel my subscription.. I want to cancel my subscription. I will not pay the increased amount.

Local News and Great Photos. Easy to read layout, great photos and information on local happenings.

Reno Gazette-Journal. Good local coverage.

Cancel. Cancel my subscription

RGJ hits bottom. I knew RGJ was getting worse day by day, now they have hit bottom. Not one review above one star, who are the brain dead people who thought of this? Get a clue, the Wall Street News and the New York Times gives you free news. Wake up and smell the coffee, the advertisers should pay, not the readers, otherwise the advertisers won't have anyone to advertise to.

Like seeing a real newspaper!. Random articles strewn about. There is no sense of today’s paper

Works fantastic.. I've been using the app for about one week and haven't had any problems. Pretty seamless as far as I can tell. A great way to stay current on the local news.

I like the traffic update notifications. It's convenient to have the RGJ on my phone, for traffic updates (on the freeway) due to weather, or accidents. The notifications are helpful but not overly done.

Reno Gazette Journal. Great newspaper since it teamed up with USAToday

Great. Great app can keep up with major news while traveling which I do 90% of the time.

Very Basic, Uninspired. The RGJ app for iPad is really pretty lame by today's app standards. It won't even go into landscape mode, which is the orientation I use most often for other apps. The PC version is much better because you can actually see the entire newspaper and choose what you want to read instead of being limited to what someone else decides is important.

It don’t work!. When I want to read the Reno paper I get the Redding paper?

delete alerts. impossible to stop or delete these alerts!!!

Horrible sign in functionality. I’d pay for this app if access was easier.

Still bad, but improving slowly. Can't tell you exactly how many articles on the app are completely inaccessible but it's enough to be totally annoying. I use the app so I don't have to get onto a computer or carry around a newspaper, so those articles just go completely unread. Video ads are often buggy and will play repeatedly.

Share info, I think not!. Typical

Awful app. Fine newspaper, app doesn’t work

Does not work with a digital subscriber account.. Don’t use the application and go straight to the website with your browser. Junk application.

Works great!. Love the latest news functionality.

Marginal. I'm a subscriber to the RGJ and cannot obtain access to the secured stories for some reason. This has become very frustrating.

Good look but.... Too many ads for a paid subscription. Really, a video ad every 3-4 pictures?? Come on

RGJ. Great app to keep up with the news!

Up to the minute news. Excellent Check it every morning & love it. No spam or fake news. Well written & up to date. Thank you.

Great app for great reporting. I subscribe to several news apps but none are as good as this. Great accurate reporting, consise app and my morning need to knows are right on.

Better than TV news. Like the easy format and relevant information. Old news gets stale.

Crappy app!. Screen keeps freezing…probably due to ads that pop up.

Current subscriber but nonstop with subscription ads. Subpar reporting and way too many ads.

RGJ App Could be better. App is good for a general quick review of news. Seems like some stories stay in the main page for several days if not weeks. Current updates don't cycle through very fast. Overall not impressed. Not sure it is worth the price of the monthly subscription.

Very poor News paper. Very “right” reporting constantly skews the facts against the president

News. Very informative.

Keeping up-to-date. Well I'm traveling this is a great way to keep up-to-date with local news and events.

good app!. this app is easier to use than most news apps

Garbage News App. Paid subscription gets you constant ads and repeated banners to accept cookies. Canceling now!

Horrible. This app is hard to navigate and the settings will not let me unsubscribe so I am being charged every month for something I do not want.

Pretty good app. easy to navigate to the major stories and headlines but once you want to read need a paid subscription! Print and paid newspapers are dead. Just provide accurate, timely information and you can compete RGJ.

Really?. You have to be kidding. I will never pay to get information that is misconstrued 90% of the time. I only ever used this app for when I was out of town to see if there was anything I might need to look into and research. Nice going RGJ! Canceling my paper subscription now too. You are way too greedy for me.

If you’re looking for a biased rag, you found it.. There are literally zero stories in this paper that aren’t swayed by personal opinions. It’s absolute trash.

Happy with this app.. Many times I cannot take the time to read the paper on the morning. With this app I can read the RGJ anywhere and not miss a thing. It is perfect for on the go.

Great. I live in another state and it does a good job keeping me informed. However, like the previous review I feel the updates could be more rapid.

Total ripoff.. What kind of desperate attempt at making money is this? To try to trick your customers into updating an app that says its free, but then says you have to have a subscription. This app was okay before this happened, not its 100% crap. And on top of all that, they made it so there's no way to create a subscription even if you wanted to pay for this mediocre news app. WOW.

Almost never works on my phone. Follow a notification and all I get is week old news. It won’t ever update

Perfect for the young generations!. I find this app to be superb! I've been thinking about subscribing for the local paper but this is much better. I have the Reno news right at my fingertips. For a young person like me, having the RGJ news on my phone actually encourages me to learn & discover what is happening right in my backyard.

App crashes with ios 14. Can no longer load the app

Great format and Alerts. Nice the story is there when you get the alert. Like new format, does not push a bunch of old stories like before.

Scam. Unable to delete recurring charges, they’ve got a great scam going the way I’m experiencing it.

Great UI Design and Format. Owned by USA Today, the RGJ is an essential app to have if you are interested in Northern Nevada. A digital only subscription is only $10/year. A steal of a bargain.

Nice. Great topics and easy to navigate

The "right stuff". As an ex-Reno resident, I appreciate having a source of news that is pertinent to my needs. Anticipating moving back to the area eventually, the paper is keeping me in the "know" as to the Reno area. I find the reporting and writing to be better than almost all other newspapers that I read!

RGJ. Good source of local news
