Almost Unreadable due to Ads

Reading in the app has become almost unbearable due to ads popping up through scrolling. Ads open up in Safari or open the App Store, forcing you to close and go back to the JS online app. Nearing the point of canceling subscription.

One of the worst apps I’ve experienced!

Took forever to get the Review line to let me enter Review.

I’m logged into your app and can now see most news. Why does it still tell me that some stories are only available to subscribers? And why is it always sending a link to subscribe?

If I don’t have a paid subscription, why are almost all of my push notifications behind the paywall

🙄

MJS App

I recently started reading the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and I am pleased with the depth of coverage from local to world news. The app is easy to navigate and I will continue to explore its features.

Way too many advertisements

Could be a good app, but as usual too many advertisers so you have to scroll through what seems like a 100 adds to get to one story. Sad

J/S online

Although I look forward to reading through the J/S online everyday to keep connected to the Milwaukee area’s news, I do find it a couple of days late on reporting news and also find articles repeated two,three sometimes four times. Seems like just filling space. Also, to be honest, media, including newspapers should report real news without bias. I find J/S to be VERY slanted liberal/left leaning everyday, with numerous articles by columnists going out of their way to find one negative about any positive item a conservative newsmaker is making. It’s SO obvious. Bring back REAL JOURNALISTIC REPORTING,PLEASE.

JSO

Is a great, well written paper!

App has become useless

I’ve used this app for years without any issues, but over the last month or so, it’s become useless. Within a minute of opening, a MJS ad pops up, blocking the entire page, and I’m unable to close it. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app and it still happened. I only have a digital subscription. If the app isn’t fixed soon, I’m going to cancel it.

Bias

The biased runs deeper than ever, whether it’s what, who or how they cover the story. That said it’s still a useful digital purchase for spotty local coverage and plenty of opinion.

Quality News

I enjoy getting quality, thorough news delivered through an app where it doesn’t keep me endlessly scrolling.

Cannot see Pay Bill option from app

From my computer I get a pay bill option. Where do I find this on the app

Will not activate

Signed up through Apple and I cannot activate it. Tried customer support but they blame Apple and Apple blames the App.

Fair journalism

Reporting is too much left leaning.

Content Good. App is buggy and annoying.

The app continuously hangs up when re-entering it, forcing a kill and restart. To get over this, set the location services to “Never” use. A daily splash Ad appears unexpectedly when reading an article asking to create an account which is bogus. I’m already a subscriber. Very annoying.

No privacy opt out

App does not let you opt out of targeting and other nonessential data use

Frustrating

Please fix issue of when I open a specific article why after scrolling and reading, the content goes blank when it is obvious the article should continue. Just want to access what I am paying for!

Hi, testing

Great local newspaper

I am so pleased that still have such a great local newspaper in Milwaukee. It is very important to have such a resource.

Like the idea but the app fails to deliver

JSONLINE is clunky but improving.

I’m happy that I tried it.

I was wary of trying this new version of reading the newspaper, but I found it’s been pretty easy to maneuver between pages, easy to read, and I’m able to print the puzzles I love in the green sheet. YAY! All in all, I’m pleasantly surprised. I’m in my mid 70’s, and I found it very easy to read on my iPad after a little bit of “trial and error”learning.
