### 5/5 — Love It

*2023-04-02*

I started using the PJS app when I saw it was $1 a month for 6 months and expected to drop it when the time expired, but I really enjoy reading the paper on my iPad. I’m keeping it!

### 5/5 — PJS

*2023-02-11, version 36.24*

Electronic app is easy to use and complete. A great way to keep in touch after moving out of state.

### 5/5 — Enjoy digital

*2023-01-31, version 36.24*

I enjoy reading on my device, and printing the puzzles.

### 5/5 — Works for me.

*2022-12-24, version 36.24*

This app does what it’s supposed to do. The paper version was great but times are changing.

### 4/5 — Peoria Journal Star

*2022-11-23, version 36.24*

Enjoy the ability to read the paper at my leisure. I can enlarge the print size to suit my needs.

### 5/5 — Easy to navigate!

*2022-11-18, version 36.24*

The app is easy to navigate and set up in a very user friendly way!

### 4/5 — Works Well

*2022-09-27, version 36.24*

I like the app generally. Sometimes it makes me re-log into the paper which is a bit frustrating. But overall its easy to use and available early in the morning. Which I like

### 2/5 — Terrible Sports

*2022-06-14, version 35.07*

Your sports section keeps going down hill. Truthfully I’m not sure why I keep taking the Star. I guess I’m hopeful that enough people will complain or quit taking the paper to force you to get your paper back to the way to was.

### 5/5 — PJS doesn’t represent Central I’ll

*2022-05-31, version 35.07*

The Peoria journal star is way too liberal!! Central Illinois is conservative. The slant of EVERY article cuts conservatives down with fake news!! It’s pitiful how you can’t report any and all the good things Trump did.

### 5/5 — Enjoying the online version

*2022-05-14, version 35.07*

I like having the full online version of the journal star.
