I need to see the page version

The new font is harder to read

The old app used a san serif typeface that was easier to read. Now I need stronger reading glasses. A dark screen mode would also be appreciated.

previous app was much better

This app makes it more difficult to go through pages. You cannot squeeze to enlarge articles any longer, on the laptop moving from one page to the next is difficult because you continue to get the calendar. Terrible update.

Not worth it

Local content is virtually nonexistent, Gannett is stealing the subscription money. If they ever update the obituaries again (it’s been a week) I hope to see theirs is included. Don’t waste your money.

Horrible

This app and the account interface makes it difficult to support local media. Please improve it!

Where did the death notices go?

The app reports no death notices for weeks. There’s always something with this app.

Ithaca Journal

Not really any in depth Ithaca, NY news...

Sadly, very bad app

App constantly “forgets” that I have a paid digital subscription and constantly wants me to “subscribe”. I get the morning news email digest but if I actually want to click through to read an article - oh boy what a headache!!! An endless loop of login attempts as if I am a new subscriber. This app and UI has been awful for years. Cluttered with ads and pop ups. I actually use to work in a Gannett newsroom and really want to support the IJ. But this app is awful! I can see why the Ithaca Voice is so popular.

Broken

App no longer functions. Opens to home page and immediately quits. Tried throwing out and reinstalling to no avail.

Don't bother reading this paper

Worst news app ever. Maybe one storyline per day of local news. Sports section is a joke with old scores still posted. Rarely do they cover local colleges.
