Forced updates constantly
Too many forced updates, disabling the app you just downloaded already on your phone. Each new update provides absolutely nothing new
Conservative News
Marin County’s conservative, corporate news organization. Reflects the values of the parent company with some conservative to middle of the road reporting.
way too many ads
There are so many moments when I scroll through an article and all of a sudden my screen is half-covered by multiple ads. The ads are too distracting and annoying for the app to be useful. I’m going back to a browser and ad-blocker.
The Times it isn’t
Marin probably has a fully educated readership that is as educated as any of any countrywide newspaper in the USA with only a very few exceptions yet when I read it I feel it could be written for a high school. Senior or college class. I am suspect our country has one of THE best educated college educated groups in the USA but many large USA cities read above the 7B reading level
I subscribe to the NYTimes yet local insight, I do read the IJ which leaped forward when sold a dozen years ago.
It try’s and is allot better than nothing at all.
Thanks for asking, no please share.

Frustrating
This app is awful. I need to unsubscribe- there are few that are full articles, most are only headlines linking to a series of ads or tweets. And I can’t figure out how to easily cancel my subscription. Now I can’t even post this because I need a ‘nickname’ and the ones I enter all seem to be taken… Argh

Cmon
No ability to convert to the eEdition? Why make it so hard? And when I try all versions of ‘not happy’, that all seem to be taken. No way…
Awful, and maybe CPPA non-compliant
I can’t login to this app with my own paid-for user ID, but only with the Auth0 ID, which tells me it will sell all my data. Honest, but ecch. There’s no way to exercise my privacy choices under the California Consumer Privacy Act— all links that might lead to the choice buttons are dead. The website isn’t easy to navigate, either, and it puts up more ads than my iPhone can reasonably handle. This app, and the website, need a compete rewrite— perhaps with a lawyer’s guidance.
Update: a long phone call to the IJ allowed me to update my card expiration date and password, and, even though I was still Auth0, I could then exercise my privacy choices. I still can’t give this more than one star, though; this process should be much easier and doable without a phone call from within the app.

The IJ app is Useless!
Paid $140 for an app that does not allow me to read more than 3 articles. The IJ should be ashamed of it’s utterly incompetent attempt to enter the digital media arena. Anyone thinking of purchasing this app should do themselves a favor and drop the though altogether.
Privacy
Now the app warns me that it is telling my information to a third-party but gives me zero options for opting out except to contact the company -and it won’t let you in unless you accept. I called three times and got dropped by the automated system - when I select the different departments just go dead. So then I emailed them to let them know that I did not want my privacy information sold. It’s unclear if I’ll get removed or not.

Broken app
The most recent app
Makes mr sign on every time I want to read a news article. They need to find a fix that keeps me logged in.

Opting out of tracking is impossible
Says to go to storage option in account page to opt out of tracking, but can’t be found.
Bad app
Really bad app. Can’t login.
Who does the IJ think they are?!?
I have a subscription to this lowly rag because I need it for business. The interface online is unsophisticated and clumsy. And now they threaten my access to my paid subscription if I don’t link my subscription to a social account?
This is unfortunately yet another example of overstepping boundaries and authority. This is a news paper for Christ sake! Not a game app.
UPDATE: I want up to date news not last weeks news. Clumsy and idiotic app

Please get yourselves together online!!!
What a disappointment. I want to support local journalism but sorry, this paper is not really available online. And the promised benefit of access to merc news et al. is never fulfilled/broken. The folks at “customer service” are of no use(Tho they are always very pleasant), please provide them w training! I’ll come back when you address these problems.

Terrible paper
I get better Marin news from the SF Chronicle than the I J.
No News Here
I’m not sure if it is the app itself, or that it feels like there is not a lot of local reporting in the Marin I.J. Do the reporters get to leave the office?
Text size needs to be larger
I’ve tried to toggle the text size larger but it does nothing.
Get with it!!!
This is the worst application I’ve ever used!!
