Greed abounds

Too many subscriber-only articles.

Awful

Even after paying to subscribe there is an overwhelming amount of advertisements. When scrolling to read articles the app crashes too often.

Too political

Quit pushing your agenda and report the news

Should be free

Advertise to get your fees, no reason to charge for your news

Notifications subject to subscription

If they send out a notification, especially an emergency it should not be subject to subscription.

Shame

I am so disappointed that every article you need to have a subscription

Great improvement

The app had been very slow and unreliable. It now works well.

Locks up

Times out and locks up. Fails to recognize my login.

Useless app unless you pay…

Now you have to pay to read all your articles.

No worries once I get a notification from the app about an article that catches my interest I just go to the internet and search and get updated that way (unless it’s something very local to the state then I don’t even bother).

Sits behind a paywall

Sits behind $150 paywall it ain’t worth it. There’s other apps in the App Store that are free.

New Sign In Trouble

With the new system I am logged out automatically. Signing back is does not work well. It’s a real headache. Don’t make me cancel.

Horrible app

I have to try three or four times to open the app. The app is so poorly organized.

This app sucks!

This app is absolutely horrible No article is free anymore. Everything has to be through a subscription. I can find most stories on other mediums and other websites.

Slowest!!!

I pay for this app and it’s the slowest app I’ve ever experienced.

Canceling Subscription

All of a sudden I don’t have access to the puzzles! Bye NJ.com!

Update loses subscription

Once I updated the app it loses the link to my paid subscription. Logging back in says there is no active subscription for my account but my subscription is paid through the end of the year. Customer service did not respond to me.

Have subscription. Can’t access subscriber content.

Have a subscription using Apple’s privacy relay. Login on desktop via Apple ID works, but cannot access subscriber content. Can only contact NJ.com for subscription problem by writing email, which defeats the point of privacy relay. Stay classy you creeps.

Junk

This app almost never opens and if it does open it takes forever and most articles are locked. This app needs a serious update.

Fix it

This app almost never loads. Screen remains white, then it crashes. Open it again, same thing. There have been numerous updates, none of which address this problem.

Broken and Bad Faith

This app excels at two things: crashing and hoovering up your private data!
