User Reviews

Reviews consistently flag the Billings Gazette app as plagued by paywalls and subscription prompts that block access, even for paying subscribers. Users report frequent login and session problems, with repeated sign-ins required and occasional inability to read articles. Performance issues are common: the app freezes, fails to load, or is slow to deliver news, and the experience is worsened by intrusive ads and ongoing paywall interruptions. Many feel the price is too high for what is offered, citing monthly/yearly costs and poor value. The sole positive note is broad coverage.
