App crashes

Love the electronic version but lately it has been crashing within a few seconds on my iphone15. Updated my os but the app still crashes quickly. Not sure what is going on.

Empty

A pretty empty paper. Sports department is decimated. No investigative journalism.

Once a Good Paper

The Journal gets thinner and less informative with each passing month. The sports section has no standings or stats; the Monday paper has no local news-I read it in five minutes. And the price keeps going up. If there was an option I’d take it.

Crashes

Love the Journal but lately unreadable with this app. Open an article and the app closes after about 60 seconds. IOS 26.5.2
Didn’t want to write this review but developers were difficult to reach.

Update

The new update is terrible. Don’t waste your time with this app

Doonesbury axed

Why was Doonesbury axed from the Journal?? This paper has been progressive declining with greatly reduced hard news, but getting rid of Doonesbury and the Saturday comics was the final straw. I’m cancelling. Can get by easily without it.

App Constantly Closing

This app closes several times as I read the paper. Especially when turning pages, but not only then. Very frustrating!

Hate the changes

We are thinking of canceling our subscription. Paper is literally getting smaller and smaller. My husband used to love figuring out the Crossword, but now finds it very hard as the answers are so ambiguous! Come on, some answers are three words long! And you got rid of our favourite comics and have some that are really not funny. And why are the 4 pages of comics in Saturday’s papers gone? Just gone! We believe you are trying to attract a younger audience, but come on - they get their news online, so your goal now is to ignore or tee off your loyal base?

Change is good if it improves a situation, not if it makes it worse.

Availability of old.issues

Don’t waste $ buying this

This app is garbage, costs $10.95 per month and it hasn’t worked since February 2. No updates as to why it doesn’t work. Amateur hour.

No e paper

Journal e paper has been not available for several days without any communication from the journal as to reasons and when available.

Terrible

Asking me to rate when I haven’t been able to get it for 3 days. A joke right?

Bugs

I like the Journal but the app has bugs. Sometimes it just freezes. When you pick an article why does it flash twice before it loads. Sometimes when you pick an article it just goes to a white screen.

Calgary Herald satellite

The decision of post media news to move head office to Calgary is regrettable. The coverage of Edmonton news has suffered. At times it seems that the Journal has become a satellite of the Herald - many of the stories originate in the Calgary news room even if they are stories about something happening at the legislature. I am not interested in hearing from Braid, a longstanding CGY herald columnist. The Conservative flavour of the Journal is a step in the wrong direction...Edmonton is not a conservative place. I know that the Journal is not the only paper that has suffered..all newspapers are threatened by the digital crunch but .....the solution that Postmedia news has arrived at re the Journal is disappointing.

Can’t get back issues

If I forget to download, I can’t recent issues.

Another zero star review

This app is crap. Love the idea of it, but constantly kicks me off or doesn’t accept by subscription. Very frustrating. Have spent a few months worth of subscription trying to get it to work. And no answers to my requests for help of course!

comment diffficulty

Can't download on my ipad the news section I'm interested in reading & add a comment - have to move to my big computer in another part of the house to do that. Find it very frustrating not to read the Journal in my easy chair on my ipad.

Zero stars if possible

News stories slow to update. Usually have to read the latest news on the website instead of app. App unstable at the best of times.

Incomprehensible

Just bought a subscription. Yet I get a message that I have too many devices signed up and content locked, even when signed in. How did that happen? No idea why access is limited or what I get for my money. Journal has struggled for years to adapt to online world, and they’ve created a convoluted product.
UODATE: I have more or less got used to it. But I hate how easy it is to launch some alternate Press Reader universe without actual newspaper design. That would be a good thing, I suppose, so long as it could spell McDavid with a cap D and include apostrophes. Which it can’t.
