    Never advertise with this group. They are dishonest crooks and will try to fill future issues with material without authorization and then bill you for it. There is a reason this paper is dying.

    they finally patched the app so you can't see free articles anymore. you can go to 12ft.io to "clean" the webpage, then make a shortcut of it, and you will get your free articles back. I believe information should be free to everyone. That being said, make em free, or shut down, gazette!

    Gazette states free speech but now filters what they want readers to see, so much for the Gazette... not worth downloading..

    Was trying to get around paying, until I saw it was a dollar. For like 6 months. I will decide at the end of the 6 months of having it for a dollar FOR SIX MONTHS OF I want to continue but that's pretty stinking good. Everyone is all complaining, lol I bet those same people go to Starbucks too. Ah... America. I do love it here, but we are silly people.

    Must pay to read articles. Not worth it in the least compared to other news apps.

    I couldn't get it to install. I debated to try install again as the updated app was so bad. Guess I won't be installing anytime soon.

    This app crashes when you open it. I just switched to the the Missoulian instead.

    Used for a long time. They started requiring a log in. Uninstalled. No wonder their subscriptions have dropped. Other sources of news are free. They also charge to read it online. Not a good news source anymore.

    A "Free" app that features lots of ads AND requires a paid subscription to use? Uninstalled.
