## Journal Star Reviews in United States

### *---- "Leftist news"
Typical biased left wing reporting, propaganda over facts.
-- KtLroux, 2026-02-01

### *---- "Can service get any worse?  Can’t get the app to run. Local news is dismal."
Why would anyone do business with you guys??
-- M&SMAT, 2025-10-17

### ***** "Long time subscriber"
I get most of my news on the app and really enjoy that. It is all I need for local news and the Journal does a good job. Not a fan of crossword puzzles and comics and the other extras in the big paper.
-- Slseven, 2025-03-22

### ****- "Annoying Scrolling"
The articles are well written, but the annoying “being taken to adds” when trying to scroll up or down on the article will make me cancel my subscription!
-- fhawk73, 2025-03-19

### *---- "DO NOT GET A SUBSCRIPTION"
This paper was sold to Lee enterprises. They will not cancel subscriptions, keep charging you, and badger you when you call to cancel. I requested over 10 times to cancel my subscription and they spoke over me trying to seek me a subscription. Finally hung up and contacted my credit card company to cancel payment
-- hydkhbvf, 2024-11-06

### *---- "Awful"
App is awful.   Crashes.  Have to re-log in frequently.  Stories not refreshed. Bad.
-- Brad's ThinkPad, 2024-10-10

### **--- "App constantly crashes"
I love having my local newspaper in a handy app on my phone. However, this app does not deliver. After some time it stops loading pages in the e-edition. I have to delete and reinstall the app to get it working again. I usually have to do this every 1-2 months. Please look into updating this app.
-- R-H007, 2024-07-21

### *---- "Get your app together"
You take our money every month, but can not keep track of your subscribers.  

Continually get message:  “please subscribe to continue reading…”

We have been subscribers for many years.
-- App messages, 2023-11-08

### *---- "Unusable"
Despite having a subscription AND being logged in, I am asked to subscribe and am unable to continue reading.   If you have a subscription don’t bother with the app.  Use your web browser instead.
-- mg2620, 2023-10-10

### *---- "Hard to find the local news"
The Journal Star is really encouraging its subscribers to go all-digital, but I’d feel a lot better about that if they would create an app that made it easy to find news. Somehow sports and obits keep floating to the top of this app. It would probably help if the app builders involved people who understand how people consume news.
