Leave a Review Journal Star

Once you can figure out how to navigate it is ok. I really only look at the obituaries. I wouldn’t subscribe because your paper is to far to the “left” for my taste.saidallihaveto
Privacy Issue
The new app still automatically reads your clipboard every time you launch it. This is a ridiculous invasion of privacy and I am considering ending my subscription.Keith80
What a mess!
I signed up for digital access at Christmas time on a special promotion. Something went wrong in the signup process and I have a completed subscription and a partially created subscription. I have tried to reach someone at the PJS, to no avail. All I get are digital assistants, no live person. Every time I go online, I get a subscription pop-up covering the articles. I need to call in again which I have placed right behind a root canal!Show lessR4endres
LIMITED READING
The way this App works is just stupid. You download and get to read 4 or 5 articles. Then you get a pop up that says you have read all free articles and now you can subscribe for a subscription. That’s not happening. Just let me download the App and read daily without the pop ups. You really don’t have enough news here to warrant paying.Show lessFrustrated61524
Not as good as Pantagraph
This app seems very limiting in that only a few stories can be seen (and I really dislike the square boxes that take up space and do not add anything). Would love to see a list of current stories and information like the Pantagraph in B-N.
This seems to be more interested in selling their product than providing news to the community. There are much better sources in central Illinois.Show lessRed Grange
Bad program
Very disappointed that I can only read a few articles before the app locks me out. I totally get that they want to get people to subscribe to the paper but there are other ways for people to get local content. At least with this app, the journal star would have gotten advertising revenues but I will delete the app so if a new update doesn't fix this. I used to use the app consistently and I was an actively engaged user. Now it's just a bad user experience.Show lessStale$$
Find another source for news
This is a great app...when the stories actually update. Often if I want actual breaking news, I have to go to their website (or more likely, a competing news source) because the story isn't available on the app.
Edit: Changed my review to one star as I can no longer say this is a great app when it works. Lately it won't even open, and you now have to pay to read articles after so many "freebies" a month. Current users were not notified of the change- just started getting a notification to pay. I'm sorry, but I can't justify spending money for a substandard product. I will follow a local news channel and keep up with Peoria news there.Show lessPeoria resident
New version is not better...
What has happened to the obits? The old way may not have had them in the best order, but at least you could find information quick. With the new version, links don't work, it's hard to access the day's list.Ceejay7777
A Little Better
Being military for over 24 yrs I still like to keep up with my old hometown. I enjoy the App but there's something missing. I'm not at all sure as to what that is just yet but there could be some improvement made with Searching for news from past editions.KLSargent
Easy to use and has enough information to keep up to date on events.
Keeps you up to date while you are out of town but not as complete as website.Aloweo
