User Reviews

Users generally praise Hartford Courant for strong local/state news and view the paper as a valuable CT-dedicated publication. However, the app is plagued by pervasive usability and reliability problems: intrusive pop-ups/ads and video overlays, broken or unavailable Breaking News, forced updates that render the app unusable, subscription/access gating despite existing subscriptions, and poor reading/navigation on iPad with layout issues. A minority remains positive, but overall feedback highlights significant usability and access frustrations.

Pros

Strong local/state news coverage with accessibility for readers outside CT (e.g., great local news is noted by out-of-state readers).
The Hartford Courant is described as a quality newspaper and the app is a valuable digital extension for CT residents.
Some users express overall positive sentiment toward the paper/app (e.g.,
Love it

Cons

Intrusive pop-ups, ads, and video overlays disrupt reading and navigation.
Breaking News feature not functioning reliably, with years of issues and tabs not loading.
Forced/mandatory app updates that cause crashes or leave the app unusable.
Subscription/access gating problems: being blocked or prompted to subscribe despite having a subscription.
Poor reading/navigation experience on iPad/landscape mode: layout issues, missing features like view all pages, and formatting that doesn’t fit the screen.

Recent reviews

While I enjoy picking up on the local news, the paper in general is never unbiased in its reporting - if there is a liberal slant, or anti-conservative slant, or an anti-Trump narrative, the Courant will search long and hard to not just find it, but will make it the feature of the report. The Hartford Courant lost its “independent reporting” decades ago…. It’s clear to see what side of its bread gets the butter.

Not sure why I continue to hope for more balanced, objective news reporting. So, I read the more likely data driven articles like business, sports, and the human interest stories, but pick out the likely objective pieces in US and international news.
