Forever to load articles

Takes forever to load article and then is layered with pop up ads. Complete fail.

Great content, horrible connection/load time.

I get a notice, click on it, and it never loads.

Waste of time

Like so many others leaving reviews I’m tired of the eternal spinning wheel. Find something better to do with your time than watch a wheel spin.

Barely Functional App

Great articles, unfortunately most of the time the app won’t load and all you get is the wheel without the hamster. Been this way for a while. Too bad.

Used to work better

I love your news and subscribe but your app doesn’t open half the time. I’m a subscriber but I may have to stop this if the app doesn’t improve. Almost not worth it anymore.

Won’t Load

Not sure what you did 2/3, months ago on an update.. loading is a Pain in the kiester

Loading Wheel With Ads

Downloaded the Just the News app thinking it might be a convenient way to read their stories. Unfortunately the main feature appears to be a loading wheel that spins… and spins… and spins.

On the rare occasion a story actually loads, it is immediately buried under a parade of pop up ads that make the article nearly impossible to read. Apparently the app is very committed to advertising. The news part seems optional.

Worse Than The Web Version

Not only does the JTN app include the ever annoying auto-play video that no one likes, the popup ads make the app unusable. At least the website can be used with active ad blockers.

Content is excellent but I suspect they are missing a large swath of potential readers because of the ads and annoying video.

I know they want people to pay for the pleasure of dealing with neither but so does the WSJ, for the same amount $.

Uninstalling.

Honestly and Integrity

Tells the truth, thank you.

Ad block articles

The content loads very slow and the ads block the text when reading. Very cumbersome.

Missed opportunity

I love the honest knowledgeable news. However, if i click on a banner it takes too long to load the articles!!!

Mostly great

Ads are excessive & intrusive

I love John Solomon. But this app is so not enjoyable due to excessive advertisement blocks that come up on screen and cannot be dismissed. The ads are constant and intrusive. Of all the news channel apps I use this, unfortunately, is absolutely the worst. DELETED.

Main page won’t load

Since the home page won’t load, I have to click on POLITICS to start using this app. Sorry, this is just amateur.

Can’t login

On my ipad, I’m not able to login. It takes the ID and password and the screen just refreshes to the login page asking me to input the ID and password. It just keeps repeating that loop. And there’s no indicated method to contract JTN to HELP. POOR DESIGN

It does not allow me to sign in

Upon selecting the login box, no cursor appears, no keyboard appears on my screen, and it asked me to authenticate access by signing in, which makes no sense. As it will not allow me to log in. Help
