Love the app
I love the app. I get to see the paper as it is visually and flip through it, but don’t have papers laying around that I have to recycle. Win win.

We really like the fact that we can read the paper anytime and any place!!!
Pops up win a free iPhone
Unable to view obituaries pops up you have been selected to get a free iPhone. That's terrible that you can not view the obituary.
Love seeing the same pages as the print version.
The electronic version that shows the same pages as the print is my favorite news app. Being able to click on an article and see it open in an easier to read is a bonus.
The paper
This is a great way to get the paper. Never worrying if it’s going to be there in the morning. Will never go back. Need more local sports if possible.
Unable to access digital subscription
Even after calling the help line I am unable to download today’s e paper. App shows Friday 12-5 has been downloaded and delivered but not 12-6 editions. My subscription is active and is set for auto renewal 12-22-25.
Customer service is completely worthless.

AP
Since the new version this AP has gotten worse. The obits is incomplete. We depend upon PJS to keep us updated when traveling. Now the obits have not been updated for three days.
Pjstar phone app
Very disappointed in upgrade. You can only view a handful of the obituaries, you can't see everyone's for that day. Pictures are no longer a part of the obituaries. Not always prompt on updating them either.
Much Better Than The Web on a PC
Much easier to navigate than reading on a PC with a web browser.
What a mess!
I signed up for digital access at Christmas time on a special promotion. Something went wrong in the signup process and I have a completed subscription and a partially created subscription. I have tried to reach someone at the PJS, to no avail. All I get are digital assistants, no live person. Every time I go online, I get a subscription pop-up covering the articles. I need to call in again which I have placed right behind a root canal!

Great newspaper.
Great local news and national. Good articles on local restaurant scene.
Peoria Journal Star E edition
We retired to West Virginia so this Enews is a great way to keep up on Peoria+ economical too!
Sometimes overseas blues for connections
Works well at home but sometimes struggle to open when overseas. Connecting at those hotels can be difficult for opening the PJS. due to strength of WIFIs. Been with you since mid 1980s

Love Journal Star
I read and enjoy the Journal Star every single day.
Continuous reading
What I like most about the e-newspaper is the continuous reading of articles, no turning to page A-2 for the rest of the story, it just continues automatically.
Pop Up ads
They are really annoying, especially for a paid subscription. What makes it even worse, they are misaligned on the screen, usually both ends are cut off and the type is incomplete on each end. Also they are for products that are very narrow in use, tech companies, or a national company that has no relevance to the Peoria area.

Not for me
When you zoom in you can’t move the view and they won’t let me use the old app that I liked
PJS
I love being able to see the whole paper
Works much better now with recent update
Thank you developers for making improvements related to navigating the pages reading the E-edition. Much appreciated.

Please email us at mobilesupport@gannett.com if you are still experiencing any issues. Thank you.
Old version was much better
Besides the Ads, my biggest issue with this newer version is the functionality on an iPad. If you try to pinch to enlarge a page, then try to move that page up or down… it reverts to an entirely different reading format of that page. You then have to click on “fit” again to try to get back to where you were reading. Very, very annoying. Old version did not have that issue.
