### 4/5 — Journal News Review 2025

*2026-03-09*

Very good on local restaurant scene in Westchester and on local sports. Great puzzles. Up to date articles on what is going on with construction in the cities. Covers Southern  Westchester more than Northern Westchester. I find lots of typos though and sloppiness and lack of editing leads to mistakes in articles . Overall a good read…

### 1/5 — Can’t open e newspaper

*2026-03-04, version 8.8.1*

Ordered through apple.  E-newspaper does not open.  Received a terrible run around.  Apple will not refund the fee.

### 5/5 — Wonderful Local Newspaper

*2025-11-16, version 8.6.0*

Full of ALL the Important News!

### 1/5 — Journal News

*2025-10-28, version 8.5.4*

It’s all we have left of a local newspaper.  There’s very little that’s local as it covers all of Westchester and Rockland. Most of the paper is from USA Today.

### 5/5 — Easy access!

*2025-09-16*

Enjoying the paper.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-09-13, version 8.5.0*

Please fix it

### 4/5 — Good app

*2025-08-22, version 8.1.0*

Good app. The one change I would make is to allow it to rotate to landscape mode when you rotate phone or tablet (IOS)

### 1/5 — Poor

*2025-07-17, version 8.1.0*

I can’t find where or how to suspend delivery nor a phone number to call for customer support

### 1/5 — E newspapers

*2025-06-12, version 7.11.2*

E news paper does NOT work on my I pad.  Will cancel subscription if it will not work
