Grateful for Civil Beat

Impressive local reporting. Focus on government problems and solutions is useful and is better done than the newspaper. Plenty of room for improvement but overall we are fortunate to have this journal in our community and they deserve our support.

Civil Beat is Great, but App needs work

Civil Beat is an awesome news and commentary site for Hawaii. But the app lags behind. They still have not released an iPad version after several years. Why? They no longer allow you to comment via the iOS app. Instead, you must go to the website. Why? Civil Beat, the news service, deserves a better app than this. They ARE worthy of it.

Better menu and organization

Lack of a menu with true topic sections and archives makes the App less useful.

Poor iPad support

This app is basically a blown up phone app but for an inexplicable reason they chose to not let it do landscape which makes me not even use it although the content on civil beat is far and away superior in journalism I end up with Hawaii news now simply because it landscapes.

Thank u for honest reporting!

Although sometimes it’s nice to look at the events through rose colored glasses, CB takes them off for you.

Good Quality

Without a doubt an excellent news source that offers good quality news that caters to people living in Hawaii.

Convenient

Great app. Easy to swipe to various articles. I like getting the 8:00 am notification that there are new articles posted. Easy fonts for reading. And of course, the quality of reporting on Hawai’i issues is fantastic. Any plans for an iPad app?

A great source for a another view of the news.

I read every it morning. I particularly like Chad Blair’s political commentary.

CB’s New App Makes Reading Difficult

Whoever developed this app doesn’t know how readers read. Browsing is difficult, as you’re limited to swiping through groups of stories, can’t get a top line overview of site contents and can’t read reviewer comments. I despise this app and would reinstall the old one if possible.

Good but not great

I gets the job done, but the feed seems too restrictive and is claustrophobic trying to browse. The old layout is better but it still gets me my news

Great News Source

If this app would orient to landscape, I would give it 5 stars. I love their news coverage and their editorials are bang on target.
