### 1/5 — Used to be a worthwhile read!

*2026-07-10*

Same stories over and over! Some as old as 4 days!
Used to faithfully check site for news, now don’t even look at it!

### 1/5 — Previous subscriber

*2026-06-17*

I use to pay the annual subscription but the one touch (or one light brush while scrolling) ad links are way too frustrating to keep using the app, even the free version. I will not subscribe again until that is changed

### 5/5 — Brutal

*2026-04-11*

Never works. If you subscribe you’re always signing in.
Not as reliable as paper. Sports Feed Quit.

### 1/5 — Brutal

*2025-06-11, version 7.3.2*

Never works. If you subscribe you’re always signing in.
Not as reliable as paper

### 1/5 — You asked

*2024-10-14*

I hate the fact that the Journal is becoming a far right rag- still employing David Staples as a UCP apologist and other editorial and columns leaning the same way.  The paper is smaller andless frequent despite costing more.

### 1/5 — Worst news reading app

*2024-10-11*

News stories are slow or don’t refresh.  This is a surprisingly clunky app in 2024.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2024-07-26, version 7.0.3*

I get a screen of Sorry Our Services Are Not Available At This Time

### 1/5 — Do not get this app

*2024-05-20*

Don’t get this. Even as a subscriber, many of the stories just contain the lede and nothing else. The ads and videos keep flashing in and out making it a terrible reading experience. If you want the Journal, you’re best off going to the website rather than trying to use this Post Media garbage app.

### 1/5 — Lame. Downgrade negative 10 update lame

*2024-05-19*

Bring back the old version. This sucks big time. My iPad got the update and now is pointless. My iPhone I had to stop auto updates to prevent it. Go back and get it right. It is terrible.

Update

Stories like Edmonton oilers post game are empty beyond the headline. Ironically I go to google free access or web without signing in and I can read it. Lame lame lame lame

### 1/5 — Needs you to register and sign in

*2024-05-13*

Keep your old app if you have it this new one will lock articles behind a sign-in. Government funded pay wall, LOL
