Worst subscribe function ever. Like the title says. I can’t even tell you how many different ways I have tried to subscribe. How many different accounts I have made. How many useless “chat helpers” I have chatted with. This has gone on for 2 years now. I love my local news. Hate my local newspaper digital app. I’ll “You have no more free stories!” “Please subscribe!” 🔫🤯💨

The Fort Collins Resource. As someone who grew up in Fort Collins but now resides in Aurora, this is the app I use to keep up with events in my hometown. That’s especially true for all things CSU.

Annoying full screen ads & random sign outs - mostly fixed. Update - The app has been fixed so that it now recognizes me as a subscriber when I access a story from an email. The app has also quit randomly signing me out, so…Thanks! Now, if they would just do something about the frequent full page splash ads imploring me to subscribe, even though I have been a subscriber for decades. I updated the app recently at the urging of the Coloradoan, who said it would ‘improve security’. Instead, I now have an app that doesn’t recognize me as a subscriber. When I access a story by clicking on an email link, about 5 seconds after the story opens, I get a full page splash ad asking me to subscribe, even though I have been a subscriber for 30 years. The app will also randomly log me out, but I seem to get these ads whether I am logged in or out. When the splash ad requires that I re-enter user and password information, it also requires that I fill out multiple ‘I am not a robot’ click on the pictures, sometimes as many as 4 or 5. About all this update did was up the annoyance factor. With newspaper subscriptions falling, can the Coloradoan really afford to annoy long term subscribers? You really think they would FIX THE STUPID APP!!

Money pit hole. I keep throwing my money into this pit hole, hoping it gets better, access to the print edition is nearly impossible, they keep raising the rates , another example of the times we live in, I’d give it a 0 rating if I could.

Reliable local news. I love this news source. I like to keep up on local issues. I understand the paywall it’s a reasonable cost. I just wish the pop up didn’t make the app irritating to use.

Subscriber can’t access. I’m spending valuable time trying to access thes newspaper. I’m receiving email notifications for top news, I’m able to access my account, but when I try to read subscriber articles I’m prompted to subscribe. I’m tired of checking off photos of various pictures of motorcycles crosswalks and bridges! They are terrible pictures that are hard to decipher!

Frustrating. The app keeps freezing. I have to close the app, restart it, and flip back to the article that I was reading. I hope that this can be fixed soon!

Sign in. I have to sign in everyday I want to read even though I have tried to save sign-in. Pain I usually just by-pass to avoid hassle. Kinda a waste of $ for me.

Support your local newspaper!. Coloradoan delivers in print and digital with constant news updates, video, pictures and even some interesting personal interest stories and features. It may not be the best but it's the best we've got and I'm thankful for it!

Don’t bother getting this. I’ve had it for 5 years. Used to work fine. Not so much anymore. Articles tagged as “for subscribers” are blocked. Gannet support says they can’t help because I bought it from Apple store. They haven’t responded to multiple requests for help. Since Gannet bought the paper quality of local coverage has gone way down, subscription prices have gone up.

Poorly Designed. Why is “news” that is a week old on the front page. It’s “olds” not “news”. Tough to navigate and find “favorites “.

Amateur App That’s Needs Rewritting. This is a horrible app. At times it requires me to login a second time, after I have already logged in. Very annoying. Other times it tells me I cannot read a “For Subscribers” article even though I have a full subscription to printed and digital materials. Plus, I do not want to receive ANY emails from The Coloradoan but I have not been able to find the option in Settings to turn it off. I have all Notifications turned off but apparently there is another obscure setting that is not so easy to find. As per industry standards for web development, the “emails” Setting should either be part of the Notifications Settings or conspicuously located next to it. And, as is par for the course, the “Unsubscribe” link in the emails does not work. Unbelievable.

App not working after installing IOS 14. I liked the app when it was working. However, since installing IOS 14 on both my iPhone XS and my iPad Pro, the app crashes five seconds after I open it. I’ve tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it to no avail. I’m unable to use App Support to notify the development team because that function attempts to open the app where I’m supposed to report the issue. I’m now on the paper’s website and am chatting with someone in customer support to let them know of the issue. Their “solution” is to “refresh your tools after few hours and log in again”. I’ll give it a shot later today.

What happened. Have lived here for 95% of my life and for some reason the “paper” (print or online) has gone down hill. Should have ALL LOCAL news. Search is ridiculously stupid. Would love to support local, but when Reporter Harold (out of Loveland) has more news for Fort Collins…..that’s really sad.

Ft collins Coloradoan. Sunday April 4th. Still reporting the same story over and over in the same edition. “Wingless flight”. Three times this morning, Dad Dude, at least twice. It’s like they are desperate for anything to fill space. An officer shooting in Greeley yesterday-not a word. Looks like the last dying breaths of a once important part of Ft Collins. I’m done with it. Sorry

Got tired of irrelevant auto-play videos. The Coloradoan is inexcusably one of the only websites and apps that still auto-plays videos on EVERY page/story. And what’s even more annoying is they are so desperate that the video rarely relates to that specific news item. The last straw before I deleted the app was I accidentally clicked on a news headline that I thought was an article, but was actually a video. It immediately open a full-screen video advertisement that I could not stop or close or back out of without leaving the entire Coloradoan app. I am still a subscriber, in the hopes that one day, the Coloradoan will return to quality journalism.

Too many ads not enough news. This app is basically a platform for advertising with an occasional news story thrown in-EVEN FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS! I have paid way too much for mostly junk content. I do NOT recommend this app.

Faulty app—does not work. There is no support.. I placed a subscription on December 29, 2021. The app worked for three months and then stopped working. I contacted the local newspaper, and they told me they could not help me because I had ordered the app through Apple. I contacted the developer twice. They did not respond. I contacted Apple and they suggested various ideas for troubleshooting that I had already tried. They would not issue a prorated refund.

Not letting me log In. It just continues to reload and have me type in my password. It’s incredibly frustrating because I can’t access my account to change anything or see when I’ll be charged On a renewal.

Can I give negative stars?. App does not work half of the time. I sign my devices into my account and I keep getting logged out or told I need to log in or purchase a subscription which I already have. There is no readily available phone number to call for assistance with subscriptions. About ready to cancel that subscription if I can’t log in.

Awful, glitchy app. I’m so frustrated with this app. I can’t read my local news because it won’t load half the time and the rest of the time the content is weeks old and won’t refresh. I deleted and re-installed the app and now there’s new, fresh issues preventing me from reading the news. Complete garbage.

Keeping it local. Access to well-written news about where we live.

Great app. Love the newspaper on line and love being able to access other editions from other cities.

Local news. Great to still have a source of local news!

Small town publication. Fort Collins does not have enough news to merit having a local news source. The daily use to be printed here and has been purchased by a larger company and now provides most of the news from outside the region.

Great app. Enjoying this apps feature with breaking news etc.

Love it. Keeps me up to date with everything going on in town, I’m just to busy to watch the news

Often only old news. Occasionally nothing changes from day to day and I have to look at a Denver news source to get breaking or even current news.

Probably the worst app out there -. Totally unreliable, difficult to use, no customer support. If there was an option for less than one star, I would have used it.

Seriously buggy app. The app’s section “top stories from USA Today” has been broken for quite some time. There’s no tech support to contact, and I still get charged every month. Should I vote with my feet?

Prefer old print edition version. With the old version, one could go single page width and scroll in landscape, so my older eyes could read on iPad, like reading normal newspaper. I can do this on the Denver Post app, but can’t figure out how to get there on new Coloradoan app.

If you live in Fort Collins it’s worth subscribing to.. Good local coverage. I especially enjoyed a recent article on the Poudre River trail. The subscription is very reasonable, especially with the current specials.

Clunky. Part of my essential reading so I just have to be patient.

Tired of wasting money. Love to read the local paper, but they don’t keep article up to date. Went to find info on state lock down for covid-19, nothing not a flipping word. I’ve put up with article being old, but this is ridiculous.

Great local news. Great source for local news coverage.

Horrible Digital Access and Customer Service. As a paid subscriber to “full digital access” I can’t find anything. The articles you can get aren’t current, and they select what you see. Sports is spotty, obituaries show 1-2 lines with no pictures or information. The description said I would have the full e-view of the paper, which I don’t get. I’ve contacted the Coloradoan 3 times in a 12 day period with no response other than the automated “we’ve received your request” reply, saying they would follow up in the next business day. Ha! I believe in supporting newspapers, but I’m not going to pay for something I do t get. Digital needs a lot of work.

Really awful at keeping me signed in. That's about it. If I am always signed out, there is no point to having the app. I am constantly a single click away from cancelling my subscription.

Great ‘local’ news and event coverage!. Truly enjoy reading about local news and events.

Ads. It would be great if I could pay (more) money to get rid of the ads. Ads are ruining the internet

Too many captchas for older eyes. Dear Coloradoan, you are alienating older readers by making the captchas difficult to identify on phone apps. We don’t have younger eyes and for that reason older folks may stop subscribing

Need customer support. App was stuck in a loop. Had to call customer support to get that fixed. Then it wouldn’t open subscribed content. Fortunately support was still online and could fix that also. App does not reflect what is in the paper. It’s a very poor substitute for a real newspaper. Now that there is no Saturday paper it shows just how much worse it is.

Coloradoan. Like to have everyday All articles Up to Date and New instead of Only few!!! Great Newspaper and ONLY want Digital on My Phone but Really Enjoy Reading ALL!!! Thank You!!!

Where is the Print Edition. This app forced an update and I no longer am able to view an entire page on the screen. Please return to the print edition option.

Worthless App & “Newspaper”. Have to agree with recent reviews that rate the app and the newspaper as terrible. Access 3 articles and then have to buy an overpriced subscription, subscriber only articles, all the ads even with a subscription, days and weeks old articles, constant pleas for money for their “under paid” staff, a hard copy subscription for over $50/month??? Not worth it in my opinion. Is there an option for zero stars?

Getting worse. This app is getting worse with each version. Now you have to pay to read any story, there are still too many too-large ads, and it’s still full of poorly written left-leaning liberal bias. Sad.

Out of date news, untimely and poor coordination with printed paper. The iPad version of this app is useless unless you are interested in "news" that is days, weeks or in some cases months old. Updating does nothing to fix this. While there might be one or two up-to-date articles, it by no means mirrors the local news that appears in the paper copy. Useless! It is impossible to tell which articles are current since they carrry no date. My Sunday paper was delivered very late (didn’t come till after 9:00AM), so I read the online version instead. When I compared what was actually in the local printed paper with what was online I was shocked that all the major stories in the paper were not in this app version. But they had lots of articles from earlier in the week that I had already read. They charge us for the paper no matter whether it gets delivered or not or if we stop delivery because we will be out of town because they say “Just read it online.” This app’s content is a pathetic excuse as a replacement for an actual daily newspaper. A better example of a quality online paper can be found at “Summit Daily News”, especially their “e-edition” that is a duplication of the actual hard-copy paper. It is all the more remarkable because it is a FREE newspaper!

Informative and excellent writing without spin!!. I have particularly enjoyed the content of a new journalist Natasha Lovato. I appreciate that actual journalists are writing for the Coloradoan

The app has gone backward. THe Coloradoan app has gone backward. The news coverage is good but the app itself is really clunky! The former Digital Print edition worked smoothly and allowed easy swiping between pages on my tablet. The current version is jerky and often jumps from one mode to the next. The navigation bars on the side now limit the screen screen size and provide little to no functional value. It is so bothersome I now switch to other news feeds quickly after reviewing the must read local news.

So far so Good. Good local news. Would love to have a search bar on the app. Please post and be up to the moment with stories that are happening i.e. Car crashes that are impacting traffic flow and more positive happy local stories of people /kids doing awesome things and Weather. THX Coloradoan-

Coloradoan app. Online print version has been freezing up immediately upon tapping on an article. This has been going on for a couple of weeks at least. Getting ready to just cancel Coloradoan subscription as I do not like the digital version.

Font size. How do I change the font size? The print is very small on my iPhone.

Comprehensive and Informative. The Coloradoan has kept me informed of my community and the surrounding areas.

Good app to catch big stories but could use more content.. I like this paper because it gives some good local stories. Unfortunately, the number of stories is a bit light for a town the size of Fort Collins.

Where is the sort setting?. App is ok. Improvement would be a sort option so at least stories can be in chronological order. Right now, some recent stories are pushed far down list below much older stories.

Its the news. It’s the news!

App review v whine. People who whine about having to *gasp* pay people for their services seem to forget how an economy works. The app itself is okay, personally I would like to see the content displayed in a more streamlined manner.

It’s great. Love the local news. Clear platform. All is well.

An Outstanding Local. Built around sections...first being local and regional then a healthy dose of national with their link to USA Today. Try Kevin Dugan out...a seasoned reporter covering detailed workings of the city and sometimes lighter fare. I'm impressed with their invites to come sit with them and kick things around where they ask, "how can we improve?"

Librial bias crap. Biased crap and then want to charge as if ‘exceptional’ reporting, while just echoing the liberal agenda of mass media, but at the local level. Sad.

Worthless App. Requires Sign-In several times a day. When I can Sign-In it’s got more ads than reporting. I’m canceling my subscription.

Great. Highly recommend

App does not work for me. Will not let me log in as a subscriber on the app. Why I cancelled this subscription originally.

Subscription. It won’t register with my apple purchase

Mr. IPad version of the App is useless - most stories, including those about the weather are 76 days old - and will not refresh. Have tried deleting and reinstalling the App to no avail. Have been forced to use Safari and the normal website. Have sent feedback several times - but never received response. iPhone version seems ok.

Good for the social scene. When I visit I read the paper to check on new places to eat and drink.

Why bother. The new app gives limited news. Isn’t the community large enough for better coverage?

Vacation stop?. Why do you hide link to Vacation Stop

Horrible app. Locks up several times every day while I read the paper. Restarts with no reason. Makes me want to cancel the on line paper.

Important source for local news. Quick and informative source to find out what is happening in my town.

Good local coverage, but no politics..... The Coloradoan is great for local news. It doesn't provide coverage of state or federal politics, so one has to go elsewhere for that info, but the app works well and is easy to use.

Awful. The app does not update. Terrible app.

I paid the subscription and I’m not getting anything.. I paid the e-subscription ($69) and I can’t open anything. It just keeps asking me to sign up. Doesn’t work.

Complaint. Website needs a place where people can notify The Coloradoan that their home delivery of the paper paper didn’t happen.

Missed stories. I don’t like the missed stories that have been added.

Prominent ads, despite paid-up digital subscription. I love the Coloradoan; it is the only reliable source for local news and the reporters do good work. My three complaints are: 1. Tons of ads, including blatant examples of "click bait" and "fake news" links. (I.e., "Try this one weird trick..."). This, despite the annual digital subscription price. I'm happy to pay for the good work that the Coloradoan does, but let's omit the ads. Stop double-dipping with the online content. Unlike the print version, I am NOT paying you to show me online ads. Just news. Why not offer a separate, extra-premium "ad free" version? What's the risk? Charge me whatever you think it's worth. 2. No search. The website version of the paper offers a very useful text search feature, but not the app. Would love to see this. 3. Typos, typos, typos. Does anyone proofread or copy-edit the digital content? It is a rare article I read that doesn't have at least a handful of egregious errors, usually in basic sentence structure. Surely you could hire a couple of CSU English majors as low-paid interns to help clean this up?

Long time reader.. I have had a subscription for years and have used the app but it won’t keep my info and sign in is always a pain. I accept cookies but I have to keep resetting passwords or signing back in. Terrible

Frustrating app. I love the Coloradan but hate the app, although I still use it daily. I am constantly accidentally sliding from article categories rather than scrolling down like I intend. Extremely frustrating. I always hit something that changes the article. The app also closes randomly. This is coming from an 18 year old who adequately understands how to use an iPhone as well.

Frustrating experience. I love reading the Coloradoan, but their subscription service creates a very frustrating experience most mornings. A paid subscription is no guarantee you'll actually get to read the paper. Both email access and app access constantly ask me to subscribe now without allowing me to read articles. Their cookie system is a mess!

Crashing Constantly. Crashing constantly on my iPhone X. Will not work at all. Dead!!

“Sorry”. Constantly getting logged out and account settings do not let you go back to the login page.

Terrible App. Whenever you try to sign in it freezes up 100% of the time. This has gone on several months now. Totally worthless

Awful app. I pay for a subscription to the Coloradoan and I still have to watch ads and can’t get to the news story very easily without excessive pop ups.

Very good. Nice presentation of the local news. Very mobile friendly.

The NoCO Source. The paper has gotten better as it concentrates on local activity, and deploys a USA Today section for national news. Not cheap, but options for local news are limited.

Keeping up with the news in Northern Colorado. Getting push notifications is great for keeping on top of NoCo News. Love the local coverage, viewpoints, etc - readable app - easy to share stories I find of interest/important.

Fair. Pay my monthly rate and still get many ads. Feel some of the writer especially in the Sports Department can or will not write positive articles so with the on line version I can skip the article when I see who wrote.

The only source of local news. The Coloradoan is the only reliable news source for NoCo locals. I have very impressed with their coverage of breaking local news in the last year and have replaced Denver 9 with the Coloradoan as my primary source.

Misleading. They cover news almost exclusively in Fort Collins. If you live anywhere else in Colorado, don’t bother.

App seems lazy. The app keeps showing old articles and is anti-intuitive. They make it very difficult to cancel your subscription.

Simple and User Friendly. This is a news app and nothing more - the way it ought to be.

They will never let you cancel. Impossible to cancel , contact or get a response from

I love this app!. The Coloradoan keeps me updated on local news and instead of waiting for the Denver news to tell me so. The Coloradoan always on top of it! Can you bring the news you guys are number one in my book!

App is unstable. While content is good, this app is a horrible platform and no one from the paper seems to know or care that there are stories hung at the top of the page that are 40 days old. I pay a digital subscription fee and they can't keep it current? It's almost impossible to find anyone at the paper who will talk about the problem. The Coloradoan does not seem to care about digital subscribers, only those who have a paper delivered.

Great app!. This app is great for local and national news, easy to use and you can get push notifications for breaking stories. Editorial content is great and is a must for those looking to keep up on things happening in the Fort Collins and neighboring areas.

Freezes. Absolutely useless subscription. Never has any relevant news, just school sports scores. I can’t believe I pay for this.

Great for local news. I get my local news from this sight. Generally speaking the journalists anticipate my questions and I feel well informed about my community.

To many ads. To many ads

App sends me too many ads. I’d be happy to pay for ad free app..,

Crashes on iOS 14. This app crashes upon startup with iOS 14. Confirmed on multiple devices. App notifications do work.

Terrible. No features to manage subscriptions. They take your credit card number and make unauthorized charges.
