More functionality LOST with recent update
This app is pathetic. I used to be able to download the entire edition to a pdf file and go through it without being connected. Now to read this ‘paper’ I have to be connected and wait for it to download each individual page. If you want to get ‘app support’ through the App Store, it’s just a link to the journal times web page. Nice how they made it circular so that you can’t complain or question anything.

Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. I will pass it on to our development team.
Crashes, will not open
The September 2023 update has made this app useless on both iOS and iPadOS. Zero stars from a longtime subscriber.
Terrible app
Cannot read an article without subscribing. Others news apps you can at least read articles with ads.
Journal times e edition
This web site is one of the worst ones I have ever seen. You can’t get through the paper from beginning to end without it doing something crazy. Me and my husband both find it very irritating first thing in the morning. I usually end up just giving up.
Response from developer
I apologize for the frustration, please contact digital support for suggestions on how to improve the apps performance on your device.

Denies subscription readers access.
App lets you sign in but will not let you read articles you are already subscribed to read. Then it doesn’t recognize you to restore purchases.
JUNK APP !
JUNK APP !
Garbage
This App is absolute garbage! You have to log in every single time you want to view a different story. It is hard to navigate and is not user friendly. Do not waste your time or money. TRASH!!!!!!!!!
You can’t read the articles!!!
The app shows the article but when you click on it you prompted to buy a paid subscription to continue. They want you to spend $25.99 per month to read them!!! DELETED!

Takes forever to load pages
Nothing good in this app
Bloggers are removed bad idea. I think it’s because the JT doesn’t not want to hear or have others read an opinion different then theirs
You can’t read any articles
They changed the app so you now have to have a paid subscription to read any articles - all you get to read is the title and then you are blocked from scrolling and reading anything else. I had this app installed for years and it was my main source of Racine news, but I’m deleting it now.
Provides a couple of local headlines only
Better than nothing for small town newspaper.
Worst app ever
If I could give 0 stars I would.Terrible!!Ready to remove.
It’s free: UPDATE-It’s literally the worst
Updated review: The Journal Times took an already poor app and made it worse! It’s incredibly clunky. You can’t read comments anymore. I haven’t been able to comment in ages, I have to actually go out to a browser, look up JT and comment there! Now, when you look at say the criminal reports, you have to press the back arrow MANY times before getting back to the main page. What is the deal JT? It’s absolutely awful. I definitely look elsewhere for most of my local news now.
That’s the good thing. It glitches like crazy. The commenting part doesn’t let you reply directly like the online version does so comments are out of order. I took it off because it kept freezing. I’ll reinstall to see if it helps. Otherwise I’ll leave it off. But the JT in general has very biased reporting. As well as horrible editing. Expect to see many grammatical, spelling, punctuation and editing errors. Many commenters edit for them at times and then they fix the article.

terrible redesign
I wish i could give this app no stars as i’ll be deleting it, old version locked up and crashed but was at least usable. Please JT fire whoever designed this app.
Updated app
I should have never updated this app... I want the old version back!
Ineffective for reading news
This app is not practical for actually reading the news. Much waiting time and screen space is devoted to delivering ads. I nearly canceled my newspaper subscription, and would have, were it not possible to download a pdf of the paper.
Doesn’t work
All I see is “Loading...”
Going to delete the app

Crashes Galore..
Before the app launches, subscribers and non-subscribers alike are subject to 20 second ads; search for articles appearing on Tweets and other posts are no-where to be found. While attempting to forward prior day articles via message or email, CRASH the app to Black Screen. Guessing no one uses the app otherwise the J-T would update the app.

App Continuously Closing
Can’t read a story in full before it closes itself out. Very frustrating to have to open the app over and over again (minimum twice) just to get through one story or an obituary. Please fix.
