  • Broken App

    Get my daily briefing in my email inbox, click on “read more” for a story I’m interested in, click on “open in app” because I paid for the app and I have the app, app says, “this story is only available to subscribers, sign in or subscribe“ EVERY TIME. How many times do I have to sign in on the same device?! Well, I am a paid subscriber, so I choose sign in. Now I have to solve a captcha?? Give me a break—this is a poorly edited, left-leaning rag, not a bank account. Sign in fails and I’m taken back to continue in this endless circle ultimately giving up. Why am I paying for this? I was interested in supporting a local paper and getting local stories, though the interesting ones are few. I suppose I’ll cancel. It’s far too partisan for my taste anyway.
  • Super easy to use, full of great content

    The app give you a full sense of what’s going on in the city and surrounding areas of Jacksonville, allowing you to stay up to date on everything that’s happening around you. Full of great information for anyone who likes to keep up with the city’s projects to improve the area. Very informative.
  • How is the App even on the market?

    It forces targeted advertising. There’s no way to opt out of any of the cookies. Every time I click on a notification, I’m told it’s for “subscribers only”. That makes no sense. I have to back out of the article and then click into it from the main page for it for recognize that I am a subscriber. Don’t even bother thinking a paid subscription eliminates ads… I don’t understand how I can pay for the service and still have that many ads. It’s FILLED with the most nonsensical ads. After every paragraph, after every story, in between every picture, it’s unbelievable. Either take my money or take my data.
  • App is horrible

    Cannot log in this morning. I am used to the clunkiness but non-performance is unacceptable.
  • Crap App!

    Florida Times Union’s app Jacksonville.com stinks. It is more trouble than it is worth! Every time you try to sign in to read a story, it asks you to subscribe. I already subscribe!!! However, when I click on restore purchase, as I am prompted to do, I get nothing but a spinning wheel icon but NEVER access to a story!!!
  • Great app

    I like using this app for local news!
  • Great local paper

    The TU has been shining light on shady deals and holding politicians accountable for the 20 years I’ve lived in Jacksonville.
  • Ads made to look just like news articles.

    They are intermixing ads with the news and tailoring the ads to look just like news articles with a small disclaimer.
  • Great way to start the day!

    Read behind the headlines, a newspaper that’s more informative.
  • Can’t cancel

    App real easy till you want to cancel!
