### 5/5 — Awesome online newspaper

*2025-08-22, version 8.1.0*

I look forward to reading this newspaper every day!

### 4/5 — Local news is great.

*2025-06-27, version 8.1.0*

I enjoy getting the News Journal on line and having an update on the local news. I miss the old school newspaper on my doorstep though. I always enjoyed the puzzles. We don’t have a printer so I can’t do the puzzles anymore.

### 1/5 — App is horrible

*2024-06-24, version 7.10.0*

I enjoy reading the paper. But all the advertising in the selected articles make it very difficult to read. 
I don’t get why you have so many ads I payed to receive this information. I will definitely not be purchasing your app version in the future.

### 1/5 — Why do they hide the auto renew button?

*2024-03-01, version 7.6.1*

Why do they hide the auto renew button? I can’t find it!

### 1/5 — News Journal

*2023-10-24, version 7.3.2*

I have had trouble for 4 months getting my enewspaper.  Now they don’t think I’m a member!!

### 4/5 — Local news is great.

*2023-04-23*

I enjoy getting the News Journal on line and having an update on the local news. I miss the old school newspaper on my doorstep though. I always enjoyed the puzzles. We don’t have a printer so I can’t do the puzzles anymore.

### 1/5 — Not a deal

*2022-01-01, version 6.8.1*

Tried to sign up for the 29.99 year promotional price and it still charged the 69.99+tax that is not what I was expecting and that is too much money for what you get.

### 5/5 — Local news best

*2021-11-02, version 6.5.9*

.

### 1/5 — No getting what I pay for

*2021-09-11, version 6.5.9*

I have not been able to see The obituaries in Mansfield news journal since mid July why am I still paying for this.

### 1/5 — Obits

*2021-08-15, version 6.5.9*

I can no longer see the obits.  Only the highlight ones.  For this reason i will be canceling my subscription when it expires on the 20th of this month
