Jersey Evening Post

Often have to wait several days before the current and other missed days appear

Arrives quicker than the paper copy and great search functionality 👏👍

I’ve been using this app for years, and for years it’s seemingly had no updates or investment. Unfortunately this latest version seems to confirm this as well. I’m using a 2018 iPad Pro, 10.5”, 256gb. (Fully up to date iOS). Hardly an out of date piece of kit, yet the performance of the app is horrific. Very slow and low resolution. Doesn’t scale properly when in landscape mode. Also, where is the ‘close’ button..??! Sometimes I can close the edition I’m reading, but most of the time not and I have to close the app just to choose a different edition. Search is still very bad, I fail to understand how the search indexer is able to miss so many items. Please give higher priority to the search functionality, following that, proper resolution pictures... oh, and stop using basic images with text in that you can’t zoom in on to read!

Much easier to use after a number of goes at updating the app. However, the latest edition of the paper does not automatically appear each day (I am always left with yesterday’s edition). I can find no facility to refresh to today’s edition.

It’s great to have access to local news on the go. The JEP’s digital edition has the ‘feel’ of a paper but the convenience of availability on a phone or tablet. The user interface is easy to navigate. All round a solid app for staying up to date with everything that’s happening in Jersey.

Great to get an app that keeps the feel of a newspaper but is easily accessible on a phone. JEP’s digital presence has been disappointingly slow to evolve but they now seem to have cracked it. Can navigate quickly & easily, picking out the articles you want while scrolling through, as you would a normal paper, including the ‘start from the back’ option for sports fans! Good one!

With the recent update to the app, I found it easy to use, fast and features a great back-catalogue of editions and supplements.

This new update kicked us off the system and we can’t get back on it again, along with the confusion regarding whether to subscribe via the app ( more expensive) or via JEP. Maybe an updated update will come along soon, but in the meantime we’ll just go online...

Most annoyingly app frequently crashes and then you have to laboriously navigate back to the same place. At least once or twice trying to read each issue. Click read for an edition and a dialogue pops up asking if I want to download. If I wanted to I would have clicked download instead of read so why does the app need to ask this? Great having supplements available but navigating them is unnecessarily complicated too. Why can’t app have a list where all are displayed at once. Apps such as Readly provide a much better experience/UI in providing access to printed publications.

The new upgrade is a huge improvement in both functionality and looks. I now also get to see all the supplements which is a bonus.
