Bugs R Us

This app is the way I like to read the CJ. However, recently when I bring up the enewspaper on my iPad, there is an overlay of ads, pictures, QR codes, who knows what all, that appears over the top of the content. It’s as if you printed something on a piece of paper that already had printing on it. Both content and ads are virtually unreadable. If you page over and come back, it might be gone. But that is no guarantee that it won’t be back. In addition, I love doing the crossword puzzles but for many months, “Today’s Crossword” cannot be printed in whole on letter sized paper from the iPad or iPhone. The USA Today puzzle is fine and the Sunday puzzles, though much bigger, are fine. If you try to reduce the size to fit on one sheet, it doesn’t change at all, and never will fit it all on one page. I can print it on one page from my PC but not from my iPad or iPhone, even though I used to be able to do this and can STILL print the USA Today puzzle from there.

Glitchy

Constantly slow it is always trying to switch me to the for you section.

Shame what the parent company has done

Great paper

Good daily paper

Enough bathroom and gutter ads

I know you need ad money but this community must have all the walk-in bath and gutter guards they need. Keep up with the great investigating reporting!

Great source for local news

Sources are wonderland right on point.

CJ updated app

Is unfriendly

Great “paper”

Great local stuff. National predictably after the fact

Bad app opening

On my iPad and iPhone, I have to start it , close it, then restart at least 90% of the time the first time I open it each day! It hasn’t always done this. When will it be fixed?

Great “paper”

Great local stuff. National predictably after the fact

C J

I still prefer the paper version but the eCJ is very easy to read. However, I can’t do the puzzles or crossword.

Louisville CJ

I find this version of the CJ very difficult to navigate. I rarely look at it. I get my local news other ways. While I’d like to support a local newspaper, I can’t spare the $25.00/month to get nothing in return.

Enewspaper

Reading online is so convenient. No trash to dispose of, enlarge the print and adjust the lighting as needed. Give it a try!

Restore purchase doesn’t work

I paid for a sub through the app store on my ipad. It won’t let me restore the purchase on my phone.

Courier Journal

I use the C-J everyday to check in on what going on and where.
Would not be without it

Solid Journalism

The Courier-Journal’s team of excellent reporters keep my wife and I abreast of issues in our community and state.

Old News

Most of the news I’ve already heard on TV but I enjoy all the other articles .

Good News

A good app for reading the newspaper. A little glitchy at times, but works reasonably well.

Courier review

Happy with the paper covers of variety of things, but it’s but it’s an analysis of daily life in Louisville is very important to me so I know exactly what it’s going on.

My paper

Love the ease of e-paper. No missed editions!

Poor

What a waste of the Sunday 6/28/2020 paper! In the first section we have seen all the pictures before of the protesters. One statement in the front page says “How a historic month in Louisville has changed the city.” Where’s the change, shootings continue everyday and most of them if not all are black in black shootings. No amount of money given to programs is going to change the systemic problems in these communities unless the people are willing to change It takes a long time to see real change ! Also, in the Scene section today, the story on the front page is old news. I read this story earlier in the week on a news app. People are getting tired of the protester stories taking over the entire paper and news on the TV. There are other stories to report on.
