## Journal-News Reviews in United States

### *---- "Everything under a paywall now"
No longer can read any articles at all without a pay subscription. Just another way to be nickel and dime d. Will be deleting as it’s now totally useless. I can understand it being that way for some of the content but not all. Goodbye 👋
-- Gghotrod1, 2025-09-26

### **--- "Latest update broke bookmarks"
UPDATE: It's August 2025, a year since I left a five star review congratulating DDN and JN for getting the apps functioning smoothly while simultaneously not fixing what isn't broken. It was wonderful while we had it, but they have recently changed the app, and not for the good. Since the  latest update, all my previous bookmarked Articles have been moved to Pages instead of Articles in My Content, and they don't open, except as a blank white screen!  In a likely related problem, the bookmark icon is now missing altogether on all current digital app Paper articles so I no longer can bookmark new articles either! Oddly, the bookmark icon does appear for whole pages while reading the Paper, and those bookmarks actually function, though that is of no use to me. Bookmark icons are still available when reading the Live News section, but those bookmarks do not function. I have written twice to each the Journal News and the Dayton Daily News about the issues, but they have not replied.

### *---- "Paywall"
Version 18 added a paywall that made all stories unreadable without subscription, FYI.
-- Steve Schueler, 2025-07-29

### *---- "5 to 6 second swipe time on my iPad"
There is a 5 to 6 second swipe time on my iPad. This has not always been the case. May be tied into the bottom ads loading but not sure if that is the whole story. This happened once before and was fixed, but the delay is back. This is a killer situation for me. I can view on a web browser version but that is not as smooth that this app used to be.
-- Jon in Cinti, 2020-12-12

### ***-- "Ads at bottom of digital page"
The ads at the bottom of the screen on the digital version are maddening.  They take too long to load.  I like to be able to to scan through the pages and now I have to wait until the ads load in each page before I can do anything with the page.  I don’t know how much longer I will put up with those before I cancel my subscription.  It’s maddening.
-- Sackjf, 2020-10-26

### *---- "Bias"
Obvious liberal bias. Not as bad as in the past but very little respect for the office of the United States president.  
Remember half of our country is conservative.
-- Blitzjunky, 2019-10-06

### ***** "Good news"
Llike having the app
-- seripearl, 2019-09-04

### ****- "Just like the print version"
Pretty tedious creating an account and getting signed in, but once you figure that out, it's a good app. Looks just like the print version, easy to read section by section, page by page.
-- Tally46, 2015-07-14

### *---- "Current version does not appear to work"
I downloaded this app to check out the features of the online paper, but it only loads one page correctly.  Once an attempt is made to switch to page 2 of the current paper it will flip a SafeFrame container up which will not go away.  This makes the app useless in its current form as you cannot progress to a second page or beyond.  This behavior was exactly the same across 3 different IOS devices and no reinstall fixed the problem.
