Besides, it is so biased. I’ll get my local news elsewhere. -- jallrd, 2024-11-29 ### **--- "Sharing app with family" RCJ is so difficult to deal with. Every time I contact them I am told different things. Emails go unanswered. I recently cancelled the hard copy and chose to get digital only. I read this on my apple phone and was assured my family members would also have access. This is not the case. Once again no one is responding to emails. Any suggestions? -- nanczetta, 2024-06-09 ### *---- "Garbage App" This app is poorly designed when it rarely works. It has tons of click bait adds even with a paid subscription. They are just another one of those soulless greedy corporations that do not care about their product or their customers. However they do care about the propaganda that they are doing a poor job of spreading and they also care about the revenue that the click bait adds brings them. -- Bhsu1993, 2023-10-11 ### *---- "The app no longer works" I have a paid subscription and for the last week the app doesn’t work. It says content not available at this time. Check back later -- random crash, 2023-10-06 ### *---- "Bad app" When I click on the app to open, it closes immediately. Appears the the IT personnel aren’t staying on top of this apps functionality. -- Binky747, 2023-10-06 ### *---- "Terrible" This app never works pay for a subscription and then get an error every time you try to launch it great work RCJ -- jjk_rulz, 2023-03-26 ### *---- "Terrible!" Simply the worst app on my phone. It’s as if they don’t want you reading their news. Difficult to navigate and reading the E-Edition is a hit and miss endeavor. I haven’t even got into their lousy news coverage. Almost all news is national news I read online the day before. When you have to go to a TV app to read local news and cannot find it in the “paper,” something is wrong. Why pay for aggravation? -- 5202Heights, 2023-03-25 ### *---- "Terrible app" Totally crippled -- Sfkrn, 2022-11-03 ### *---- "Avoid" Horrible. Almost no actual local news except sports. It's clunky and poorly plaid out. Seriously, avoid the app if you can until they eventually maybe possibly ever get around to improving it. -- whitetigergrowl, 2022-05-09 ### *---- "Horrible app" Horrible app, terrible newspaper. Expensive junk ads is all you get to see. Stick with the information from the tv stations instead. Still ads, but FREE! -- TlLong2, 2022-02-13 ### *---- "Bye bye journal" The “news” is mostly sports.The app wasn’t great to start with. Now they want me to subscribe to use it. I just deleted it! There are too many other good options available! -- bye bye journal, 2022-02-09 ### *---- "Junk app" Avoid it. This app is clunky and full of advertising. I remember growing up in the 80s when the RCJ was a great newspaper. Now it fails daily. -- APZipsofacto, 2022-01-28 ### *---- "Ads Block Articles" Overplayed ads popping up every 10 secs remember be any opportunity to read in the app. -- Mellburg, 2021-11-30 ### *---- "Clunky at Best" After 9 months of giving The Rapid City Journal a chance to deliver an acceptable app, I’ve run out of patience. This is a very clunky app, loaded with ads and click bait. The biggest annoyance is trying to read the digital version of the printed paper, which is the primary reason for the subscription. I access the print replica via an iPad Air 4th gen. The top half of the page is one large ad that will not go away. After several attempts with the customer service to to find out why this is happening, still no resolution. This company has some serious issues to resolve with regards to technology and customer service. -- BeachBum1960, 2021-09-13 ### *---- "Horrible" The app is essentially useless with all the ads and asking me to log in every 2 minutes. Don’t bother. It’s a waste of money. And I’m asked to pay $14.99 a month. -- 2021 freedom, 2021-07-15 ### *---- "Basic" The app is okay for your everyday propaganda leftists news. And you wonder why newspapers and all news media is dying. -- Dude from Cave, 2021-06-03 ### *---- "Sleeps with the liberal left." It’s the most popular rag written in western South Dakota. I don’t subscribe, let the liberal democrat party support this birdcage lining company. -- 14smoke, 2021-01-01 ### *---- "App refuses to work" I have an e-subscription to the RC Journal but this app refuses to work with it. -- store floor, 2020-11-20 ### *---- "Frustrating" I was considering purchasing a subscription as this is the primary source of news in the local area. So glad I hadn’t yet! The app is so poorly built and the content currently inaccessible (no articles will open), that it seems pointless to throw my hard earned money at a Journal subscription. I will continue to follow my other news sources. :( -- *my input*, 2020-11-10 ### *---- "Horrible" Why does this app get worse and worse. At least before the update I could read some of the articles, after scrolling past the same repeated story multiple times. Now any story I try to open I get a pop up that says the content is not available and to retry or cancel. I have deleted and re installed the app with the same results. I did not think it was possible, but the app is worse then the stories. -- Lesha35, 2020-10-28 [View all Rapid City Journal reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Rapid City Journal In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Subscriptions | $249.99 | ## Rapid City Journal Discovered Keywords - rapid city journal ## Apps Similar to Rapid City Journal - [Scottsbluff Star-Herald](https://apptail.io/app/scottsbluff-star-herald-ehP/united-states) - [KELOLAND News - Sioux Falls](https://apptail.io/app/keloland-news-sioux-falls-vTGb/united-states) - [Argus Leader](https://apptail.io/app/argus-leader-MoZb/united-states) - [Dakota News Now](https://apptail.io/app/dakota-news-now-OJZb/united-states) - [SDPB App](https://apptail.io/app/sdpb-app-PJZb/united-states) - [KOTA News](https://apptail.io/app/kota-news-TJZb/united-states) - [NewsCenter1](https://apptail.io/app/newscenter1-UJZb/united-states) - [Pierre Capital Journal](https://apptail.io/app/pierre-capital-journal-udac/united-states) - [KOTA 1380](https://apptail.io/app/kota-1380-LiVc/united-states) - [Arizona Daily Sun](https://apptail.io/app/arizona-daily-sun-bbZc/united-states) ## Rapid City Journal Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/canada) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/australia) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/brazil) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/belarus) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/switzerland) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/chile) - [China](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/china) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/colombia) - [Dominican Republic](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/dominican-republic) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/ecuador) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/egypt) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/hong-kong) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/indonesia) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/israel) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/india) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/japan) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/south-korea) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/lebanon) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/mexico) - [Malaysia](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/malaysia) - [Nigeria](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/nigeria) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/norway) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/new-zealand) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/peru) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/philippines) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/russia) - [Saudi Arabia](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/saudi-arabia) - [Thailand](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/thailand) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/turkey) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/taiwan) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/ukraine) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/vietnam) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/united-arab-emirates) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/south-africa) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/rapid-city-journal-QJZb/argentina) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
