  • Star ledger

    Been reading since it was called the Newark Star Ledger. Great staff that keep us informed . Reading it since I was 10 yrs old in the city of Newark . Now living I’m living in Monmouth county I wish there was more Monmouth county news in it.
  • Star Ledger app is terrific!

    Love the way that it works! Mirror a hard copy then when you click on, or select, an article, it pops up in a nicely sized font that is very easily read. Even that font size was be made larger or smaller to fit he needs of the reader. The article is easily scrollable. There are too many newspaper apps where articles must be manipulated in multiple ways to be read. Not so with the Star Ledger. Thank you for having the best layout that I’ve seen.

  • Page 1 doesn’t allow reader view.

    I download the daily edition. I select an article on the front page and get a 🚫.
    When I select an article from page 2 or higher, I he the reader view.
  • Unable to download certain issues

    The previous iPad app worked great…why did you have to replace it with an inferior, broken app? Every few days I am unable to download an issue to read. Today is one of those days. I click 'download' and get the message 'preparing to download…..and that’s where is remains. If I close the app and try again, same thing happens. I pay to receive issues every day, yet several issues a month I do not get because of this inferior app. When are you going to fix this?

  • Hanging again

    I read the Star Ledger on my iPad. I never had any problems with the old version of the app. This version is very annoying! Just when I sit down to read my paper, THE APP HANGS! Nothing I can do but try again the next day. The entire screen becomes non-responsive and I have to totally quit the app to try again. If I can’t download the paper why am I wasting my money on a subscription???

  • New version is a step backwards

    The newest app version is not user friendly, and has taken away the ability to print and share from the app. In the previous app I was able to print the crosswords easily, now I have to screenshot and hope the size is big enough to read the clues.
    I’m giving it some time, but right now I’m less than pleased.

  • First class app design

    Design of app is superb. Star-Ledger itself is a very liberal, unabashedly pro-Democrat newspaper. Ignoring that, the comics are excellent and provides good coverage of local news.
  • New version not downloading

    What happened? After the latest version came out 2 weeks ago (April 2021), cannot download daily version on iPad. Still works fine on iPhone, only because it’s the version before they switched.
  • The new version apparently wasn’t fully tested

    The last version of the app worked just fine. This new version does not allow you to print any of the puzzles. The “official” workaround is to take a screen shot of the puzzle and print the screen shot. Really?! That’s the best they can come up with. Whatever happened to making sure everything works before you force a new version on your customers!

  • Digital Paper

    Next best thing if you can’t hold the paper.
