It offers several different ways to view the material. Read it like a regular paper skipping to the next part of the article somewhere on page#_ . OR highlight an article and read it in it’s entirety,with no skipping. Both methods offer Zooming so ,if your eyes are not what they used to be, the print can be more visible. For the game and puzzles, there is a Mark Up feature so you can save paper by completing it on the computer and deleting when finished. If you want to save and article, or send to a friend it all can be done on the app. But if you use the paper to wrap your fish, sorry you can’t do that. So, skip the fish and try the App. ### 5/5 — Reading the News Journal online *2022-03-15, version 3.5.12* I didn’t think that I would like it but I do! The constant recycling of the daily newspaper was bothersome to my “protect the environment instincts”. When a “special” price was offered for e-delivery, I took it but didn’t think I would prefer it. But I do! I can read the paper wherever I am, do not have to stop/ restart the paper for out of town trips, do not worry that newspapers are uncollected at my door and the reduced cost is a factor too! Try, it! You just may like! ### 5/5 — Short Review *2022-02-25, version 3.5.12* News Journal E-Edition is an excellent additional resource to use to stay abreast of information about local news and world and national news highlights. Easy to navigate and very timely. ### 5/5 — So much better than a physical newspaper! *2022-02-16, version 3.5.12* Navigation is perfectly intuitive. Love the ease of sharing. No piles of heavy newspapers to recycle. ### 5/5 — Easy read *2022-02-04, version 3.5.12* Daily news being delivered via electronics is excellent , we enjoy consistently. ### 4/5 — technology *2022-02-01, version 3.5.12* I enjoy reading the paper each morning. I guess it’s inevitable that down loading and navigating will have issues. It seems recently that the issues are more frequent. I would have given you 5 stars if it were not for the technology. Thanks for still surviving, Joe Fitzsimons ### 4/5 — Nice community newspaper where you feel like a part of the same community *2021-12-22, version 3.3.14* Consistent news is key to daily reading. Sometimes I just want the local stuff because you forget what’s going on right in your own backyard. ### 5/5 — User friendly! *2021-11-14, version 3.3.14* This app is very user friendly. Love it. ### 5/5 — DBNJ on the go. *2021-10-18, version 3.3.14* Love having the information at my fingertips anytime I need it. ### 4/5 — Trying hard *2021-09-04, version 3.3.14* Lots of National and international stories and not as much local news as I would like to see. ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-08-24, version 3.3.14* Big improvement from accessing thru email!! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great coverage *2021-08-20, version 3.3.14* Love the news journal it covers all subjects and covers both sides of the fence not only one opinion. Sports coverage is excellent. Read it every day. Keep up the good work. ### 4/5 — Noticeably improved *2021-08-11, version 3.3.14* The app is now easily navigable and largely free of performance issues. I’m back to the app after previously preferring the web browser version. ### 5/5 — Easy to navigate *2021-08-03, version 3.3.14* I’m pleased with the ease of reading the paper on this app. There have been changes made and they’ve been good changes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 4 weeks and STILL unable to open app *2021-03-12, version 3.2.59* Daily calls have not worked. Every day told to do the same thing. Now I’m told I’m not alone. No excuse to have problems that can’t be fixed. E edition was great way to read paper...before the “upgrade.” They’ve closed and reopened my account and had me reset my password a dozen times. Very disappointing. ### 2/5 — Liberalism at its finest *2022-01-28, version 3.5.12* If you want to read the print version of the same thing you watch on CNN and MSNBC and most of the MSM, you will love this paper. A far left view on anything and everything. It’s embarrassing to read most days. I get it for sports and the crossword puzzles only. The rest is garbage. ### 3/5 — Be fair *2021-08-28, version 3.3.14* Your oppositional coverage of Donald Trump cannot be replaced by the benevolence you show to Biden. Please give us the facts and don’t show us any bias. I do commend you for increasing the diversity of opinion presented to the readers. There are be many of us who worry about inflation and the cost of building a progressive agenda. Who will pay for all these checks landing in our accounts? ### 3/5 — Paid *2021-07-02, version 3.3.14* I have a paid subscription yet every frigging day I have to sign in. It aggravates me so much I refuse to, so I end up not enjoying the paper. Once signed in I ought to be able to stay signed in. What’s it going to hurt? ### 3/5 — Online and why I read it *2021-03-24, version 3.2.59* I read the online version all week because the News Journal can’t seem to get my paper version before 7:30. They promised it would be here by 6:30. The online version is the same as what comes in paper version and I like it that way ### 3/5 — Annoying Emails! *2021-02-24, version 3.2.59* Happy with the Daytona News Journal app, but I am not pleased that I get an email everyday about my subscription. I tried to opt out of receiving these unwanted and annoying emails but it won't allow me to. It just goes back to the same page. Please stop sending me emails! ### 4/5 — Impressed *2022-09-10, version 3.5.12* I heave been hesitant to change over to digital….. should have done sooner. Very enjoyable..breakfast even more of a treat. Very functional ### 4/5 — News-Journal app *2022-04-23, version 3.5.12* Great app. Much better than reading the “paper” in print on paper. I like the fact that it’s presented in the same format as the paper. ### 4/5 — Works 90% days of the time *2022-02-03, version 3.5.12* The News-Journal app is good. Some days it just spins and I can’t access the news. ### 4/5 — Don’t like the new format changes *2022-02-01, version 3.5.12* I have had a digital subscription for the past five years. I look forward to it each morning. However, I do not like the changes that have recently been made to the format from the Index. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review of News Journal E edition *2023-07-08* I reluctantly tried the E-Edition, because I have had difficulty with most I have checked out. But, the News Journal presentation of the daily news is by far the best. It is simple, flows easy, and the pages are perfectly in sync . You can breeze through the news without all of the normal and expected frustration. Give it a try - I know you’ll like it! Robert Linkous, New Smyrna Beach ### 5/5 — Great local news and information *2023-05-18* I read the DBNJ absolutely every morning to stay ahead of local events. The national section is a good bonus too! ### 5/5 — Impressive digital newspaper *2023-02-05, version 3.5.12* I enjoy reading the digital Daytona Beach News-Journal. It is friendly, excellent and easy to read. I give it a five star rating. Thank you. Eusebio ### 5/5 — Great start to my day! *2022-11-10, version 3.5.12* Love reading the papare on my phone every morning!! ### 5/5 — Up to date in Daytona! *2022-08-10, version 3.5.12* Even when we are away we stay up to date to everything happening in Daytona. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2022-07-20, version 3.5.12* Very convenient for me to read in newspaper format wherever I may be. ### 5/5 — 1st Time digital Reader *2022-07-08, version 3.5.12* I’ve found the digital version of the NewsJournal easy to navigate and read. ### 5/5 — Earth friendly *2022-07-02, version 3.5.12* Perfect way to read t paper, and it is earth friendly. ### 5/5 — Great News-Journal app *2022-06-27, version 3.5.12* I was very critical of the News-Journal app last year, but the improvements are wonderful. Easy to use. Thank you ### 5/5 — East to read and share *2022-04-21, version 3.5.12* I enjoy options of reading the digital paper in the print layout but if I want to read a multi page article without having to find it on another page I can just tap it and I have the column consolidated. It is also east to share articles this way. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
