Review summary

Users appreciate the Denver Post Digital e-Edition as a convenient way to access local news digitally and support quality journalism. However, several recurring issues diminish the experience, including frequent crashes, unreliable navigation, problematic internet connection errors, and disruptive ads. Some find the replica edition hard to read and desire better customization features like dark mode and content filtering. Overall, while the app fulfills a valuable purpose, its stability and usability problems cause frustration among subscribers.

Pros

Provides a convenient digital way to read the Denver Post newspaper without physical paper.
Allows users to scan the paper and click to enlarge articles for easier reading.
The replica edition retains much of the traditional newspaper reading experience once users get accustomed to it.
Improvements in updates have made the paper easier to read and allowed viewing of entire articles in one place.
Supports high-quality local journalism, which is valued by subscribers.

Cons

App frequently crashes, freezes, or fails to start reliably, requiring force stops or retries.
Navigation is cumbersome and buggy: difficulty moving between articles, scrolling problems, and overall 'squirrely' behavior.
Many users experience false 'no internet connection' errors when trying to read articles despite having internet access.
Ad banners disrupt the reading experience by causing content to jump and adding clutter.
Lack of features such as dark mode, ability to filter or remove unwanted sections, and inconsistent font sizing cause readability issues.

2022-12-29	Lo*****	In the relatively short time I've subscribed to the digital edition, there have been several different versions of the app. The latest one is by far the worst. Constantly crashing or not starting up at all. I find myself having to frequently force stop the app to reset it. Please figure this out.

2022-12-15	jr*****	Garbage. Doesn't download the newspaper, even when you tell it to. Won't log me in on my phone, only on my tablet. Buggy. Top bad you must use it to view the e-paper

2022-11-27	Jo*****	When clicking an article, it now says I'm not connected to internet. All other apps work. Tried it on 3 different devices today, all react the same way. Waste of time, DP is slowly going out of business, and this is one of the many reasons why.

2022-11-27	Ev*****	On Android version, constant get no internet connection when clicking to read any article, when I have internet and I can see every page in that editions paper. Worked fine previously, but will most likely cancel subscription now

2022-11-24	Bi*****	Old version worked smooth & easy - New version 11/11/2022 is nearly worthless - click on part I want to read, won't go to it, try to scroll to it, won't go to it. It's telling that so few people r reviewing this-obsolete.

2022-08-03	Ar*****	A great way to read the paper without all the paper. It was a wrench going digital six out of seven days in the week but the physical newspaper just got too expensive. The replica edition is great, though, once you find your way to a comfortable reading style.

2022-04-01	Ro*****	Improved over previous versions. One frustration is the auto rotate when reading an article. If you put your phone down or tilt it too much it rotates and when you get it to right itself, it goes back to the beginning of the article again. Very frustrating. I'd rather control when I need to use rotation.

2022-03-29	Ha*****	2nd updated review...The app has been crashing recently. Today, it crashed over a dozen times while I tried to get through reading the paper. I updated Chrome and restarted several times to no avail. Please test your latest app on chrome for stability!! Updated review. The latest version is an improvement. A request though, is it possible to offer a dark mode with black background and white text... to reduce eye strain?

2022-01-25	Br*****	Works much better than previous app for the Denver Post. Just like the Wall Street Journal. Downside are the banner ads which cause the copy to jump while reading!

2022-01-06	Li*****	I like the replica edition. It's not as good as an old fashioned newspaper, but once i got the hang of it... Problem is it stops working and freeze intermittently
