User Reviews: The Providence Journal, R.I.

Top reviews

  • Be aware of the terms of the digital subscription

    Keep in mind that if you have a digital subscription, there are no refunds if you cancel. Make sure to cancel before the monthly bill gets posted. Seems like unfair billing practices but it is apparently written in the fine print.
  • Poor interface

    I have tried various ProJo apps over the years. All have been poorly made, buggy, and frustrating. The only thing that the current app has done well was to take my money. It is slow, difficult to use on a tablet, and full of pop-up advertisements blocking content. I won’t renew.
  • Terrible changes

    Recent changes make this app user unfriendly. It was easy to read pages before. Now I have to go to text version or blow up pages using + or - buttons. When finished I went to pages and when clicking on a page nothing happened. You have made navigation very cumbersome. We hate it.
  • Personalized Notifications

    Pretty good app overall but the notification preferences don’t work. I opted out of sports notifications and yet I still get 2 notifications a day about high school sports (I really don’t care about high school sports).

  • Bugs me

    That blue flashing ad at the bottom of the screen is very annoying. I pay for Projo and would prefer to not see the ad. Otherwise it seems fine.
  • Great local resource

    Perfect for finding out what’s happening in the world, but truly perfect for staying abreast of local happenings.
