### 4/5 — Worst digital ever

*2022-09-09, version 4.36.13*

This digital paper always ask me to sign in and activate my account and it gets annoying ! Not user friendly at all!,

### 4/5 — Works well

*2022-08-23, version 4.36.13*

For the past 6 months + the current version works pretty well and allows one to navigate and easily read the paper in a manner that feels like reading a real paper. Now if they can just improve the content…

### 5/5 — Jacksonville Union Newspaper

*2022-03-31, version 4.33.14*

Recently subscribed to e-newspaper after moving to Nocatee in January. I am amazed by the quality of every aspect of the paper that is important to me. Have been a lifetime subscriber to a big city daily newspaper and there’s no comparison to to the JaxUnion.

### 5/5 — Very easy to Navigate and read

*2022-03-27, version 4.33.14*

I really like the layout and user interface. Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Like most people

*2022-03-17, version 4.33.14*

Like most long term subscribers, 51 years I and my wife were reluctant to go digital. Boy am I glad we did. The app does a fine job, occasionally a log on issue but not the app fault. The feature that has changed reading habits and enhanced my enjoyment is ease with Which I can send anything I read and comment on the article. The app access your email address book so you do not have to look up the address, just start typing the name as it appears in your directory and push the button.
My only issue is the content of the paper, it is biased to the left, woke culture and concentrates on negative aspects of every story that features a conservative view. It is wonder in this market they are having trouble meeting financial goals.

### 5/5 — Florida Times-Union

*2022-01-28, version 4.33.14*

Many informative articles. I’m grateful to still have local news reporting of this caliber.

### 5/5 — Easy to use local newspaper App

*2022-01-23, version 4.33.14*

The app makes reading stories from the paper super easy!  It is easy to navigate between sections and highlights stories you’ve read. 
The Times Union does a great job covering our city. I admire the way the reporters dig to get the truth about what goes on behind closed doors.  
Keep it up!

### 5/5 — The Florida Times-Union

*2021-12-10, version 4.33.14*

I’ve been a reader since ‘78 when I read both the T-U and Jax Journal. Love the new, young, inquiring staff.

### 4/5 — Difficulty tapping  to turn to red to print or send article.

*2021-11-21, version 4.33.14*

This is an important feature to me

### 4/5 — Fit option

*2021-11-02, version 4.33.14*

Wish fit option worked better

### 5/5 — Great format

*2021-10-30, version 4.33.14*

Like the new look

### 4/5 — Good app

*2021-08-18, version 4.33.14*

Easy to use, very nice to have a local newspaper to read. Very thorough with crosswords and comics.  Only drawback is that it’s own by gannet which is a left media company so the legitimacy of the news is always in question.  Other than that it's a nice suprise

### 5/5 — Good way to read the paper

*2021-07-11, version 4.33.14*

Very effective app. Got most of bugs out. Works great.

### 5/5 — Easy to read

*2021-07-11, version 4.33.14*

Love this app. I’ve been subscribing to the digital edition of my local newspaper for several years but previous had to download the pdf version of each day’s edition. This app still gives me access to the complete digital copy of the paper but also provides the opportunity to read each article in a “reader’s view” text only format.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2021-06-30, version 4.33.13*

This app is much better than trying to read the paper online.  I just wish we would get the Sunday ads……

### 4/5 — Asks for password too much.

*2021-06-19, version 4.33.13*

Would have given a five star rating. Annoying that the app. asks for  log in info and password when logging in from a new WyFi source. Example, if you log in from a public WiFi or a different location.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible new “upgrade?”

*2022-05-05, version 4.33.14*

It is getting better to navigate overall. But I do not like the page with the advice columns and horoscopes. That was just about the only thing left that looked like the Times Union before it became USA Today. 
Plus we have columnists from Orlando, Lakeland, Tampa, all over Florida. I think you’ve lost sight of the fact that this paper is actually Jacksonville and we like the opinions of columnists that live here and are our neighbors. 
It’s just USA Today - that’s all basically 🙁

### 1/5 — Get ready for frustration

*2021-06-04, version 4.33.13*

The new version of this app for 2021 works way less than half the time for me. It’s a crapshoot whether I will be able to download the paper each day. Some days it actually works but most days it doesn’t. Sad thing is the folks asked to provide support barely even know what it is or how to use it.

### 1/5 — Politicly biased and refuse to report the truth

*2021-03-07, version 4.32.60*

This paper is a failure when it comes to truth blatant truth. Covering the traitors Rutherford, Rubio and Scott is non existent you bury any articles on their party loyalty, trump loyalty and traitor is and what the truth is on 1/6/21 in section B behind front page headlines like “National Hymn” really? You enable what happened front page news should be Traitors Scott and Rutherford support insurrection even after capitol police killed? What is wrong with that truth? Times Union is nothing but an extension of Fox News and. Tool for the right John Rutherford should never be re-elected again and you should be telling us why? The start is for the sports page everything else in there is propaganda favoring traitors, insurrection and the Republican Party. Report the truth there was no fraud in voting the all other narratives are the big lie. Report on why the poor need to vote by mail. Tell the truth out loud on the front page no buried. This paper is unamerician but you have a good sports page.

### 1/5 — New app

*2021-02-08, version 4.32.59*

New App is not working on my phone
I have called tech support twice and they did not know how to help it is very frustrating to not be able to read the paper that I have paid for !

### 1/5 — Horrible Customer Experience

*2021-02-07, version 4.32.59*

This app constantly freezes and has to be downloaded from the App Store. It’s hard to navigate and is much worse than the app it replaced. 
I don’t blame the Times-Union! Since Gannett took control of the paper I’ve subscribed to for over 50 years, the TU has gone steadily downhill. Sad!

### 1/5 — Bad “Upgrade”

*2021-02-04, version 4.32.59*

I have always loved this app and the latest upgrade makes it impossible to use. It constantly locks up. I haven’t been able to read a single article this morning. Please fix!

### 1/5 — They keep making it worse!

*2021-02-02, version 4.32.59*

This is a horrible app that gets worse with every “upgrade.” Looks and functions like it was created in 2007. Only thing worse is paying for the lousy paper newspaper.

### 3/5 — Pretty good, except for having to sign out and back in too often..

*2022-06-27, version 4.36.13*

Every few days you can’t load that day’s issue and it doesn’t tell you why.  But you have to actually sign out and back in.  Not my favorite part of this app.

### 3/5 — App is good

*2021-08-03, version 4.33.14*

We like the app but not happy with content of paper. Too far left leaning. The political cartoons are always left leaning.

### 4/5 — Nona Saunders

*2022-10-31, version 4.36.13*

I like having the notification flag on my opening screen.  It reminds me to catch up on the latest local news and things of interest.  I have been remiss in the past, and I’ve been a subscriber for years! Also, I like the format.  It is much more user friendly than in the past.

### 5/5 — The easiest way to read the Times Union

*2023-06-03*

It took me a while to decide to switch to the digital version of the newspaper.  I am so glad I did. It is easy to read and maneuver through. It has extra sections that give the latest news and you get USA TODAY free everyday!  And you can stay up on all the news even when you are out of town.  Everyone should subscribe to the Times Union. There is no where else for daily, local news.

### 5/5 — Times Union digital

*2022-10-21, version 4.36.13*

Better than the paper

### 5/5 — Steve

*2022-08-25, version 4.36.13*

Love the app and the e paper, very easy to move about from section to section and article to article. Very easy to enlarge print for easy reading.

### 5/5 — Florida Times - great way to stay up updated.

*2022-08-08, version 4.36.13*

Florida Times is a great way to stay updated on all the happenings locally and world wide. As a bonus the puzzles are always fun.

### 5/5 — Nice way t o keep informed

*2022-06-28, version 4.36.13*

Has all the information to stay on top of things locally and around the world.

### 5/5 — Daily paper

*2022-06-25, version 4.36.13*

I have been reading the TU since I was a child. The coverage is good - sometimes a day later.  The comics are so small I have to change the size. Overall I am happy with the paper.

### 5/5 — What readers want

*2022-06-24, version 4.36.13*

The E edition is quite satisfactory if left leaning
Good sports if  a day behind 
Need much better comics , get rid of Argyle,Brevity,Pearls before Swine and Marmaduke
More about Beach cities

### 5/5 — Fl Times Union on line

*2022-04-21, version 4.33.14*

Though we have enjoyed getting our newspaper as a paper for years….moving on line is also convenient. If we are out of town we can still read our local, state and national news daily.

### 5/5 — Great Way to Read the Florida Times Union

*2022-04-15, version 4.33.14*

Never miss a delivery of the paper. Get the paper at the time you want to read it. Don’t be confronted with a soggy paper. And, get extra content. I should have switched to all digital years ago.

### 5/5 — TU! Keep informing us!

*2022-04-09, version 4.33.14*

TU, 
You guys are the link to what is going on in Jax. I appreciate your in depth reporting. Otherwise more shenanigans would continue!
