### 5/5 — Just like paper

*2022-07-01, version 3.6.13*

If you want to read the Courier-Journal in the same format as the print version this is the way to go. Didn’t think I could ever give up my hard copy of the morning paper and coffee routine. This is the same unlike the other CJ app   I actually have both but this is the one I use every morning. Yes I’m old… but great way to stay informed. No wet paper or delayed delivery.

### 5/5 — Courier-journal print edition

*2022-06-30, version 3.6.13*

I got mad at the delivery guy ,who kept driving in our yards so he could get close while throwing his papers. This is easier to read, and I can take it when I travel! I love it!

### 5/5 — Outstanding!

*2022-03-29, version 3.6.05*

I had the paper delivered up until 6 weeks ago.  The app is so much more user friendly, informative and environmentally conscious.

I love being able to read the CJ from my phone. It is easy to navigate.

### 5/5 — Print Edition

*2022-01-25, version 3.3.14*

I received the paper in my box for over 40 years and throughly enjoyed it. Now I subscribe to the Cajun app. I find it much easier to read and at a great savings. Thanks for providing a source for information and entertainment. Happy reader.

### 5/5 — Better than paper!

*2022-01-15, version 3.3.14*

In the past I would always wake up to a cup of coffee and the CJ but now that the cost of the physical paper has gotten so expensive, I now get the same experience with the e-edition at a fraction of the cost.

### 5/5 — Glad I switched to digital

*2021-12-13, version 3.3.14*

Have been reading the CJ for over 40 years but between the price going up every year and late or missing papers, I decided to switch to digital. Now I can read it whenever I want and pull up old issues too

### 5/5 — New paper instantly in my hand!

*2021-11-23, version 3.3.14*

I use the local newspaper to keep up with my hometown. I love to grab a coffee and every morning the newspaper is instantly in my hand. I love the actual newspaper format. I pull it up and I’m looking at the front page!! It’s extremely easy to navigate and it’s fun! I love turning the pages of my local newspaper on my phone. Gotta go…I’m getting ready to read the front page!! LOL

### 5/5 — Excellent CJ app

*2021-10-20, version 3.3.14*

Easy to use. Latest news and information. Gets better every month. Very user friendly. I now prefer it to the paper version of the newspaper.

### 5/5 — Miss living in KY but reading the CJ makes me feel I’m home again!

*2021-08-17, version 3.3.14*

Love the paper and coverage. Debbie Yetter, Andrew Wolfson still produce well researched investigative stories and always look forward to their assignments.

### 5/5 — Review

*2021-07-01, version 3.3.07*

Excellent delivery of print news which I believe is essential to control the corporations, government and politicians.
Keep up the good work and I will always support the CJ. 
Started as a delivery boy to pay tuition for high school and the job taught me more about life and people than I care to write.

### 1/5 — Paper

*2021-04-29, version 3.2.43*

Courier has gone down hill ever since they sold the company.  Paper is small and over priced.  Print is so small.  Delivery is terrible.  Thinking seriously about stopping the paper all together. I use to take the whole week, but stopped taken Monday and Tuesday because nothing was in the paper.

### 2/5 — Mixed Results

*2022-06-30, version 3.6.13*

Often I will be in the app and try to zoom in and out to read something, when the screen splits. Therefore I can only see about half as much text at one time.  Really annoying. No excuse for this; the app has been out too long andIt’s simply just supposed to show text and pictures, no video. No interactions or live links.

### 3/5 — Thank you for asking

*2022-09-05, version 3.6.13*

Wish the the other paper was here but this isn’t too bad but this one is too much buttons pushing.

### 3/5 — C-J review

*2021-08-11, version 3.3.14*

I like that the new app lets me choose the layout configuration. I don’t like that it seems to have bugs in that when I enlarge the text, the app won’t allow me to scroll to the right without snapping back to the starting point. So, it is a struggle now to read across the page. I’m constantly fighting with the app to let me continue across the page. Keep working on it. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Good paper, awkward app

*2021-06-16, version 3.3.07*

While I enjoy reading local and Southern Indiana news, the app is awkward. The arrows to move to the next page appear for less than one second. And most of the time, to move to  USA TODAY, I have to completely close the app and then reopen it. Finally, if I move from the USA TODAY screen to another one, to get back to the article I'm reading I have to go back to the Courier and then reopen USA TODAY.

### 4/5 — Good could be great

*2022-07-24, version 3.6.13*

I love reading the Louisville courier each morning, I just wish the news was not current news was not two days late because of it being not being printed in Louisville.

### 4/5 — Coverage getting better

*2022-07-09, version 3.6.13*

This paper is covering events more fairly. Although, a very liberal bent, the stories are covered mostly without bias recently.

### 4/5 — Other papers

*2022-05-07, version 3.6.05*

I wish you would do like some of the other things like other papers in your network. Especially the page of older pictures of days gone past. Specifically like the Destin Log.

### 4/5 — Courier-Journal review

*2022-03-20, version 3.6.05*

The courier provides me with what I need everyday. Am a big fan of the funnies, crossword puzzles, weather, and local news. Reporting of national news could be broader.

### 4/5 — Online news

*2021-06-18, version 3.3.07*

Not real responsive but after a while you get used to it

I wish you would do like some of the other things like other papers in your network. Especially the page of older pictures of days gone past. Specifically like the Destin Log.

### 5/5 — Print Edition courier Journal

*2023-04-17*

This app combines the pleasure of the print format with the convenience of digital formatting.  I find I read the paper more and more often when I don’t scroll endlessly through electronic news lists.

### 5/5 — CJ reader app

*2023-01-03, version 3.6.13*

Better than reading the physical paper. Always have the days news at my fingertips. Pretty good reader app.

### 5/5 — What Log-in!?

*2022-10-28, version 3.6.13*

I downloaded the app, then it required a log in... I have no login and there was no way to create on, unless I went through Facebook! I am not doing that! Deleted app very quickly.

### 5/5 — Quick Way to Stay in Touch with the Whole Area

*2022-10-16, version 3.6.13*

Investigative journalism is the foundation of a democracy no matter your political persuasion.

### 5/5 — Courier Journal App

*2022-09-05, version 3.6.13*

This App is so user friendly and I love that I can go back and view older editions and other newspaper publications!

### 5/5 — Courier Journal print edition

*2022-08-31, version 3.6.13*

Very good layout, easy to navigate. Really enjoy when out of town.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2022-08-25, version 3.6.13*

I love reading the Courier Journal on-line. I can take the paper with me wherever I go.  I can enlarge the print for easier reading, and I don’t get ink smudges on my hands.

### 5/5 — Daily Paper

*2022-08-08, version 3.6.13*

Best way to read the paper. I find I read more articles on my phone then when I have an actual paper!

### 5/5 — Courier Journal

*2022-07-29, version 3.6.13*

Much better than the paper edition. Goes with me and I can read it whenever I have a spare moment. Thank you for this option of the news.
