Review summary

User reviews show the Denver Post app delivers valuable Colorado-focused news and local sports content, and is used by loyal subscribers. However, repeated friction points harm usability: forced updates, persistent ad interruptions for paying users, and removal of iPad landscape mode. Additional issues include frequent login prompts and content access problems (blocked articles, homepage redirects). Accessibility concerns are noted by visually impaired users. Overall, strong content value is offset by significant usability and UX obstacles that drive frustration.

Pros

Strong local journalism and Colorado-focused coverage, including local sports.
Generally functional for many users who access Denver Post content through the app.
Loyal, long-time subscribers value having the Denver Post available in the mobile app.

Cons

Forced app updates that lock users out or require frequent updating.
Ad-heavy experience with video ads and overlays, even for paying subscribers.
Removal of landscape mode on iPad and lack of landscape support reduces usability for keyboard users.
Frequent login requirements and annoying login prompts that disrupt reading flow.
Content access and navigation problems, including links redirecting to the homepage or content blocked behind prompts.

2026-08-23	Ap*****	This is one of the only apps that doesn’t open when I click a link from my news aggregator. It also keeps the same stories up for months. Requires immediate updates even when you can’t be on WiFi rendering it useless. Please improve post!

2026-06-10	Ec*****	There is zero reason to force me to update, constantly. It’s annoying AF.

2026-05-29	ah*****	I used to read the actual paper and loved it! Haven’t done it for years and then saw this. Subscribed right away and was nostalgic and happy surprised for how much I loved it and sat for 30 minutes without even realizing it as I sat and read through sections and stories. Happy to be back!

2026-03-23	Ga*****	I have spent years trying to customize the type of articles I wish to receive and those I do not waste my time on. The Denver Post seems unconcerned or arrogantly dismissive of my several requests did not waste my life trying to blow past articles I have absolutely no interest in e.g. sports.

2026-02-13	Sc*****	It’s too bad about the Denver post. This used to be a great news source for Coloradans. Low quality, no depth and low volume. Apple doesn’t allow zero stars

2026-01-19	Da*****	Not that I even expect a response vacate why change now and actually address reviewers comments. When you do they’re just standard slop months delayed. Do better of fire whomever is not doing their job... You released a new update 4 days ago with minor fixes/changes and we’re forced to update? That’s honestly ridiculous. Force for serious issues like compromised security but a new game? Come on… Oh! Can you maybe FINALLY fix the logon process and securely store device login credentials & use the appropriate saved passkeys? It’s insane that you also force a new ligin with each and every launch. Are you stuck in the 90’s guys? Do any of us really remember which apps (of dozens and dozens) we’re using email, Google, Apple etc. to login with? That’s a big fat NO. Make it seamless!
