### 1/5 — Ithaca hides criminals

*2025-06-07, version 8.1.0*

People arrested in Tompkins county are hidden from the public for the sake of college students. The Ithaca journal is a liberal rag.

### 1/5 — Newspaper app

*2025-03-06, version 8.0.0*

I use the newspaper view because I want to read the funniest as well as the news. The current version of the newspaper app is one of the worst I’ve ever had to deal with. It is terribly unstable with too many overlapping controls. I’m about to give up on it.

### 1/5 — I need to see the page version

*2024-09-20, version 7.12.0*

Kathy Hopkins

### 2/5 — The new font is harder to read

*2023-10-04, version 7.3.2*

The old app used a san serif typeface that was easier to read. Now I need stronger reading glasses. A dark screen mode would also be appreciated.

### 1/5 — previous app was much better

*2023-09-02, version 7.1.2*

This app makes it more difficult to go through pages. You cannot squeeze to enlarge articles any longer, on the laptop moving from one page to the next is difficult because you continue to get the calendar. Terrible update.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2022-06-13, version 6.10.0*

Local content is virtually nonexistent, Gannett is stealing the subscription money. If they ever update the obituaries again (it’s been a week) I hope to see theirs is included. Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-12-10, version 6.8.1*

This app and the account interface makes it difficult to support local media. Please improve it!

### 1/5 — Where did the death notices go?

*2021-08-17, version 6.5.9*

The app reports no death notices for weeks.  There’s always something with this app.

### 5/5 — Ithaca Journal

*2020-12-01, version 6.2.0*

Not really any in depth Ithaca, NY news...

### 1/5 — Sadly, very bad app

*2020-03-07, version 5.23.1*

App constantly “forgets” that I have a paid digital subscription and constantly wants me to “subscribe”. I get the morning news email digest but if I actually want to click through to read an article - oh boy what a headache!!! An endless loop of login attempts as if I am a new subscriber. This app and UI has been awful for years. Cluttered with ads and pop ups. I actually use to work in a Gannett newsroom and really want to support the IJ. But this app is awful! I can see why the Ithaca Voice is so popular.
