## Journal Star Reviews in United States

### **--- "Pops up win a free iPhone"
Unable to view obituaries pops up you have been selected to get a free iPhone. That's terrible that you can not view the obituary.
-- Magmaysr, 2026-02-10

### ***** "Love seeing the same pages as the print version."
The electronic version that shows the same pages as the print is my favorite news app. Being able to click on an article and see it open in an easier to read is a bonus.
-- Dunlap12001, 2026-01-13

### ***** "The paper"
This is a great way to get the paper. Never worrying if it’s going to be there in the morning. Will never go back. Need more local sports if possible.
-- cubbies my team, 2025-12-21

### *---- "Unable to access digital subscription"
Even after calling the help line I am unable to download today’s e paper.  App shows Friday 12-5 has been downloaded and delivered but not 12-6 editions. My subscription is active and is set for auto renewal 12-22-25.  
Customer service is completely worthless.
-- Waterlogged in Illinois, 2025-12-06

### ***** "AP"
Since the new version this AP has gotten worse. The obits is incomplete. We depend upon PJS to keep us updated when traveling.  Now the obits have not been updated for three days.
-- C10b47, 2025-10-04

### *---- "Pjstar phone app"
Very disappointed in upgrade. You can only view a handful of the obituaries, you can't see everyone's for that day. Pictures are no longer a part of the obituaries. Not always prompt on updating them either.
-- hlhowe75, 2025-08-30

### ****- "Much Better Than The Web on a PC"
Much easier to navigate than reading on a PC with a web browser.
-- KDEhren58, 2025-08-19

### ****- "What a mess!"
I signed up for digital access at Christmas time on a special promotion. Something went wrong in the signup process and I have a completed subscription and a partially created subscription. I have tried to reach someone at the PJS, to no avail. All I get are digital assistants, no live person. Every time I go online, I get a subscription pop-up covering the articles. I need to call in again which I have placed right behind a root canal!
-- R4endres, 2025-08-06

### ***** "Great newspaper."
Great local news and national. Good articles on local restaurant scene.
-- LeftCoast57, 2025-06-25

### ***** "Peoria Journal Star E edition"
We retired to West Virginia so  this Enews is a great way to keep up on Peoria+ economical too!
-- Alandebord, 2025-06-19
