The top stories usually don’t appeal to me and I have to dig to get the news I want.

Hard to use, poor interface
I find this app hard to use with the port interface. I constantly get blocked out when I go off the page and then try to return. Not worth the monthly fee.

Marty
Enjoy the app, but why are you taking up space posting the Super Bowl results six weeks after the game? Anyone who cares knows who won. No longer “news. “
2019-02-20
Ax Central
Easy way to keep up with local news.
2019-02-12
Customer Service; lack of, non-existent
Do not get trapped in the “30 day free trial.” I have tried to look on the website to cancel, and there is no way to do it. When you call, there is no prompt for the digital side, and you get the home delivery side, and their systems don’t sync together. I was on hold for 10-23 minutes, 5 times. I emailed their customer service contact with all the above information, and get basically a form letter saying I can’t cancel by email, and to call customer service. UNBELIEVABLE!!

Sad excuse for news.
I am deleting this app because of the amount of fake news that appears as advertising. The lies and spam that appear is horrible.
2019-02-01
This app’s nonsense logins are illogical
How many times do I have to sign in to this goddamn app that I already pay a monthly service for? Very bad use of cookies and caching of logins.

Unable to get my Account info via the AZ Central app
I tried several days and kept getting the error “unavailable at this time”. I’m on hold right now for 42 minutes and counting, to speak with a representative.
2019-01-15
This app is terrible.
This app is terrible. It routinely locks me out of my account, and the content is out of date. The sports section has had the same lead story on the Cardinals for over two months. If there was another good source for AZ news I would be done w this.
2019-01-09
Terrible
Worst service in every way possible.
2019-01-09
Flooded with ads and limited stories
It’s very annoying that you flood the app with ads if you do not pay for a subscription while limiting the amount of stories you can read each month. Why limit the amount of stories when there are ads all over the place? On top of that, there have been several instances where the monthly limit does not reset in a new month. Will uninstall in favor of other local news outlets that do not have monthly limits.

Nice news app
Good app for local AZ & national news. Keep up the good work!
2018-12-18
All ads and underdeveloped user flow
Whether on the app or the website you’ll be overwhelmed by constantly flow of ads. The app is glitchy pertaining to user flow and user friendliness. Furthermore, the articles are often poorly written.
2018-12-06
AZCentral
Great up to date daily news!
2018-11-29
Requires subscription to read stories.
I used to enjoy reading AZ Central. But, now it requires a subscription to read stories. Not a great app.
2018-10-17
Scrolling is very disjointed since the last update
Scrolling in the text window is very halting and especially bad at the ads. The texts jumps up and back down. This makes it almost useless
2018-10-07
Decent but
App no longer allows capability to print up an article. Get tired of looking at small cellphone screen or sometimes want hardcopy. Used to be able to do this.
2018-08-31
Don’t waste your time
The repugnant now feels they can charge when you use to get 100 stories per month free. Goodbye!
2018-08-28
Deleting
Since you have decided to place restrictions on the stories two paragraphs in, you’re app is being deleted from my phone.

A Little balance
.....would be nice. The Az Republic is a joke since being taken over by USA Today. Constant Anti-Trump,Anti-GOP,Anti-Conservative. Montini,Goody-pants and Linda (La Raza) Valdez are radical Conservative haters and should be avoided by anyone seeking commentary not tinged by hate for anyone who doesn’t subscribe to there radical worldview. Such sad people. Why do I subscribe? To follow my sports teams.( Although Greg Moore wallows in the same swamp as those mentioned above). And if you ignore their subscription pleas long enough they’ll pretty much offer it to you free. So desperate! Ha,ha! MAGA!
2018-08-14
Nice Try
Thanks for trying to even the playing field politically, but you’ve got some real Trump hating writers. That’s why I don’t read The Republic. Sticking up for McCain & Flake only makes it worse. Nice local news coverage, sports, & food reviews.
2018-08-05
AZ Republic on life support ...
The Republic is dying and is a victim of mediocrity and unenthusiastic reporting. The newspaper watched while Arpaio terrorized LATINOS for 24 years. There were no Pulitzer’s for courageous writing during that time. Instead, Phoenix burned while the Republic reporters schmoozed with Arpaio.

Trash bias rag
Not worth lighting a fire with.
2018-06-14
ONE SIDE DOES NOT FIT ALL...
I am so sick of EJ, Benson and the like...I cannot read a publication that delivers opinions over the news...If you want to be an Opinion Publication at least endeavor to be balanced...Otherwise, change your name to “Arizona Opinion"...!
2018-04-28
Ugh
Awful. Cannot suspend delivery online. Very amateurish.
2018-04-25
An absolute cesspool of ads.
Being a paid subscriber doesn’t help. Complete garbage.
2018-04-16
Nobody updates the news
Just installed this app. One of the top 3 headlines is “McCain wins ‘08 GOP nomination. Great news - only ten years out if date.
2018-03-30
Eh...
Why would I want to pay for news I could get elsewhere? I thought I’d try to show some loyalty being a native, but the content is not exclusive enough to warrant a monthly subscription. Better news apps out there.
2018-01-28
Very one sided views
The political bias of this organization is disgusting. What a rag. The same left leaning insight on every story gets old real fast. Even my liberal out of state friends can only say “Wow” and shake their heads when reading the Az Republic while visiting.
It’s a shame the metro area of Phoenix does not have a print media that just reports the unbiased facts and lets the consumer decide. The Arizona Republic is a perfect example of why the media in this country is not taken seriously.

Hometown Source
AZ Central-excellent source of Valley wide news without a subscription fee
Enjoy & share periodic AZ Historical articles & photos that can be share
Keep up the good reporting
2018-01-03
Need a subscription
All of a sudden I can’t read any articles unless I pay for the $8.99 subscription...no thanks! I’ll get me news from other sources
2017-12-23
Concise, local coverage
Love this app to get a quick roundup of what’s happening around the Valley on those days when I don’t have time to watch the news
2017-12-14
Where are today’s headlines that are on the front page of the printed newspaper?
Bad design. In fact it’s terrible.
2017-11-24
Arizona’s best
Live it!
2017-11-07
Old news - don’t bother
There’s lots of news out there, but this app is really good at OLD NEWS and hardly updating anything for weekend news. I laugh that they want people to subscribe.
2017-11-04
Why buy ads
I opted to get the access when it was on deal but most annoying experience because even if paying you have perpetual ads popping up you have to scroll through. I won’t buy again. I’ll find my news on other aps.
2017-10-28
Delete
Youre a news app! I get it, we all need to make money, but the place I work, gets your publications. The app is a convenience, so for you to say “youve seen too many stories and need to subscribe” is crap! Ill just go online somewhere else and read the same news. Thanks, but deleting!
2017-10-22
Great for Leftists
The one & only conservative columnist is a NeverTrumper. The relentless global warming advocacy; the series on The Wall, is just too much. This state and city is not 99% leftist, but this outfit is. The editorial slant and left slant of every writer from Karina Bland to Bill Goodykoonz, Ed Montini to Laurie Roberts; it’s relentlessly leftist. I give up, my subscription is now terminated. I also add that the app has an indecipherable method in how it prioritizes its stories. Breaking news is rarely listed first. Very amateurish.
2017-10-11
Good app for headlines.
Not bad overall. Need to open up more content.
2017-09-30
Good info
It's pretty good! Not as nicely laid out as their website but you can track down most of the info you are looking for!
2017-09-26
Worst App Ever
Went from free local news to charging a subscription fee. Deleted the app and hope the advertisers are happy that they have one less person to view the ad!
2017-09-25
Useful app
Gives me the important news I need. Much improved over a year or so ago.
2017-09-24
Good
I like it. More information story less politics.
2017-09-21
Keeping Up
Azcentral allows me to keep up with the news. I live out in the country and don't get a newspaper like I used to. With this app I can keep up with news in my state and beyond.
2017-09-21
Best source for AZ news.
Read this every day and happy it's available.
2017-09-21
AzCentral app Connects
Easy to navigate & read. As a long-time subscriber to the Arizona Republic, I look forward to checking out headlines & breaking news on my cell.
2017-09-20
Great!
Love the way it is organized. Easy to peruse and find interesting reads. Lots of variety which is what I look for.
2017-09-15
Subscription Fee????
Only 100 free articles per month??
Ridiculous.
There are other options for local news.
