Welcome to a new app experience, we have optimized our app and giving it a facelift! This faster iOS native app now has the following new features:
Your News:
Provide personalized recommendations for content based on user preferences. Users will be allowed to customize the content they want to engage with by selecting the topics they are truly interested in. By going to the “Your News” tab the user can bypass the noise of all that is published and home in on the content they want
Saved Articles:
Save feature that allows users to save articles or other content they are interested in for later reading or reference.Push notifications will remind users to read their saved articles or suggest related content
Custom Push Notifications:
The user can select what topics they want to be notified about which makes for a much less intrusive experience.
Top Navigation Bar:
A top navigation bar lets the user switch between sections by swiping or tapping.
Enews in-app:
Desire the newspaper experience? No need to open a separate app! By simply going to Settings and selecting E-News the user can browse the Digital Replica of the day’s paper.
Offline Reading:
This feature allows users to enable offline reading from Settings. Offline “Reading Preferences” can also be customized for Settings.
Swipe Left:
Instead of going back to the main section to find more articles, users have the option to simply swipe, immediately opening other articles in the Section.
Follow Topics:
A user will be shown articles on topics they are following. To follow select “follow” at the article level and related articles will gain relevancy and be shown more frequently. Just as easily “Unfollow”

Reviews
Total dissatisfaction. I was duped into subscription
I saw the offer which was an interesting one $12.00 for two years. Very interesting that I can’t read articles unless I I get a free 30 day trial (?) I am a senior with limited computer knowledge. My complaint is that I can’t find a way to communicate with them to ask them what is going on.
So I subscribe for two years and the only thing I’m getting from the subscription is two years of notifications telling me that I have read my allotment? Can someone please explain? I need help but there’s no place to navigate to for assistance or cancellations.
Bring Back Landscape Orientation!
The decision to remove landscape orientation (for no apparent reason) was a mistake. Maybe at least tell us why this was necessary? I use Apple’s Magic Keyboard and that works only in landscape orientation. To use the SJMN app now, I have to disconnect from power, hold the tablet in my hands, and do without the keyboard. This is a bummer!
Love the “Merc”!
After 50 years in the Bay Area, still my favorite news source.
Bring back landscape support!
I’m not sure why they removed support for landscape orientation, it ruins the experience when using the iPad Smart Cover as a stand, which only props up the iPad horizontally.
Good resource, if you can find stuff
I like to bookmark things I find in the paper, but finding the content on the app is an adventure in using the right keywords in search. Would love to have a better search experience or maybe articles IDs to use in search (can’t believe I’m suggesting this: aol keywords)
TOTAL GARBAGE!
The latest “update” in early November 2023 renders this app utterly unusable.
Not only does it continually ask me to login to the app I am already logged into it overwhelms the user with ads, pop-ups, and other absolute visual garbage.
I am actually considering canceling my hardcopy subscription to the newspaper because this app shows they care absolutely nothing for the readers of this paper, but only for the advertisers.
To say the app is clunky understates how bad it is
Dreading the cancellation process— very long hold time for that.
Billing
Where is Billing?
I can’t find it on this iPhone App.
Also as a subscriber, the App must make it easy to manage account but it does not.
Please update. Thanks!
Crap
Just trying to hustle your money
Horrible app
Poor app design and subscription and login problems. Second time I have tried to use this, like the paper but app is horrible.
