Great update
JEP website and e-edition of paper nicely integrated in the app. Handy links to other All Island Media publishing assets such as the Bailiwick Express. Great job on what was no doubt a modest budget 👍💪👏😀
Fantastic upgrade
The new JEP app is huge improvement. I have long wanted to see up to date news as well as the paper - this will make keeping up to date with what’s happening in Jersey so much easier. The addition of interactive puzzles is a nice touch too - looking forward to the daily crossword on my iPad. This is a must-have for anyone who wants reliable local news and a bit of daily brain training!

Good when it works
Often have to wait several days before the current and other missed days appear
Quicker than paper copy
Arrives quicker than the paper copy and great search functionality 👏👍
Still a poor app
I’ve been using this app for years, and for years it’s seemingly had no updates or investment. Unfortunately this latest version seems to confirm this as well.
I’m using a 2018 iPad Pro, 10.5”, 256gb. (Fully up to date iOS). Hardly an out of date piece of kit, yet the performance of the app is horrific. Very slow and low resolution. Doesn’t scale properly when in landscape mode.
Also, where is the ‘close’ button..??! Sometimes I can close the edition I’m reading, but most of the time not and I have to close the app just to choose a different edition.
Search is still very bad, I fail to understand how the search indexer is able to miss so many items.
Please give higher priority to the search functionality, following that, proper resolution pictures... oh, and stop using basic images with text in that you can’t zoom in on to read!

Better
Much easier to use after a number of goes at updating the app. However, the latest edition of the paper does not automatically appear each day (I am always left with yesterday’s edition).
I can find no facility to refresh to today’s edition.

Great
It’s great to have access to local news on the go. The JEP’s digital edition has the ‘feel’ of a paper but the convenience of availability on a phone or tablet.
The user interface is easy to navigate. All round a solid app for staying up to date with everything that’s happening in Jersey.

J-E-Pleased
Great to get an app that keeps the feel of a newspaper but is easily accessible on a phone. JEP’s digital presence has been disappointingly slow to evolve but they now seem to have cracked it. Can navigate quickly & easily, picking out the articles you want while scrolling through, as you would a normal paper, including the ‘start from the back’ option for sports fans! Good one!

Fantastic
With the recent update to the app, I found it easy to use, fast and features a great back-catalogue of editions and supplements.
Don’t bother
This new update kicked us off the system and we can’t get back on it again, along with the confusion regarding whether to subscribe via the app ( more expensive) or via JEP. Maybe an updated update will come along soon, but in the meantime we’ll just go online...
Buggy and terrible UI
Most annoyingly app frequently crashes and then you have to laboriously navigate back to the same place. At least once or twice trying to read each issue.
Click read for an edition and a dialogue pops up asking if I want to download. If I wanted to I would have clicked download instead of read so why does the app need to ask this?
Great having supplements available but navigating them is unnecessarily complicated too. Why can’t app have a list where all are displayed at once.
Apps such as Readly provide a much better experience/UI in providing access to printed publications.

Huge Improvement
The new upgrade is a huge improvement in both functionality and looks. I now also get to see all the supplements which is a bonus.
Absolute rubbish
I have a subscription until 3 August. No way to restore purchases access account or contact anyone. Contacted the JEP last month about variance in price on their JEP and they denied app is anything to do with them. Complete waste of time.
Update
The update prevents you from getting in, I put in password, something that was not needed prior to update, keeps saying it's wrong, when you click on retrieve, nothing, still on sub from before update, no way in contact anyone to sort it.
Really Poor
Really, really poor. Not been able to read the paper for weeks using this App. Jep informed and nothing done to improve it. Save your money.
Needs a lot of improvement!
This app frequently crashes and often fails to recognise a valid subscriber. Sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling resolves issues but not today so far! Just as well we have a physical delivery too as you cannot rely on this app being stable. JEP and developers you need to take note and do something about the issues. I don't actually ever recall there being an update unlike other apps.

Milky
Worked fine for about a week now all I get is a black screen even after deleting and reinstalling several times, not even made locally and app support what app support I just get forwarded to a website,
Sort it out

Waste of time
This app is rubbish. I have to uninstall and then reinstall it to get it to work. This is because the app crashes every time I use it after first use.
Hard to read
After subscribing to The Daily Mail on my iPad, which has been especially reconfigured for digital reading, this is such a disappointment. From its extremely high price to poor quality reproduction, with print far too small.
It looks as if I shall have to give up reading the JEP as my eyes can no longer cope with newsprint.

Crash
Used to be reasonably stable. Although the interface could be better it does allow access to the full paper in a scanned way. Won't load at all now on any of my devices.
