### 4/5 — PNJ App

*2022-10-18, version 3.6.13*

I love the app because if I miss a delivery I can go online to view.  I do wish you would  make it less difficult to share articles to Facebook or texts. And finally, since we live in Central time zone & NOT EASTERN TIME zone, it would be wonderful if the PNJ changed their daily Sport Schedule page section to reflect the correct local time, which is Central Time Zone.

### 3/5 — My thoughts

*2022-08-13, version 3.6.13*

Your newspaper is an excellent source for local news, especially your articles on the various local candidates for office.  Your paper does a great job of offering valuable insight into the views of local office seekers & I commend you for it!

Where you fall far short of independent, unbiased political coverage is your national news articles.  They reek with unabashed support for the democrat party & the far left agenda & “woke “ viewpoints.   Your paper is an unrelenting critic of all things conservative from politics to social issues.  Your bias is so tiresome!  If I could find any other source of local news as good as the PNJ, I’d drop your left wing rag in the garbage in a heartbeat!

### 4/5 — Only one problem!

*2022-07-26, version 3.6.13*

Excellent readability except for focus.  Very difficult to read want ads or comics .

### 4/5 — PNJ

*2022-03-29, version 3.3.14*

I’m enjoying the PNJ app.  Less paper stacking up.  I rate it 4 because I miss the TV section.

Good coverage for local news and events

### 5/5 — Use of PNJ app

*2022-02-04, version 3.3.14*

Easy to use; great way to start my day😌

### 5/5 — Pensacola News Journal APP

*2022-01-12, version 3.3.14*

Love being able to read the news online.  I can stay up to date when I go out of town.

### 5/5 — Miss my home

*2021-12-14, version 3.3.14*

I love reading the News Journal. Makes me feel like I’m home.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2021-11-21, version 3.3.14*

Works good but wish you could watch recorded shows on a device

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work on iPad

*2021-10-12, version 3.3.14*

I just wish it would play on my iPad. It used to do just fine. Then a couple of weeks ago, it would no longer come up. There was a message about the server not having proper certification. I have tried to access it several times since and even deleted the app and reinstalled it. Still cannot access it.

### 4/5 — Thanks, PNJ

*2021-09-27, version 3.3.14*

So glad that this newspaper is still going strong.  Appreciate the local news, investigative reporting, & especially Andy Marlette!  Disappointed that you dropped weekly Doonesbury comic.

### 5/5 — Best local coverage

*2021-09-15, version 3.3.14*

Great local news in EZ to use app!

### 5/5 — Best yet

*2021-09-04, version 3.3.14*

I’ve been watching and waiting for several years while the PNJ offered different news paper readers. The current one works beautifully on my SE2020. Please stop now. This is the one!

### 5/5 — PNJ is the best

*2021-07-12, version 3.3.14*

You have good well versed reporters and they cover both sides of political stories. Plus this  digital format is available before five am . The only thing I don’t like is Marlett’s cartoons and columns are way off the mark ; too liberal and socialist ! But, I’m sure that’s not the first time you have heard that!!

### 4/5 — Don’t like the disappearing page arrow

*2021-06-18, version 3.3.13*

See above

### 5/5 — Review

*2021-06-01, version 3.2.64*

I love reading news in the morning

### 5/5 — New feature

*2021-05-25, version 3.2.64*

I like the new feature that allows me to read the whole article simply by touching story I want to read.  It’s so much easier to exit whole story too.  Awesome

### 5/5 — Enjoy to read online

*2021-05-12, version 3.2.64*

I can read the paper while we travel

### 4/5 — Great local news

*2021-05-08, version 3.2.64*

PNJ is great hot keeping up with local events and news. Add some national news to the mix and one paper for all

### 4/5 — Much improved

*2021-05-04, version 3.2.64*

The app is much improved over earlier version. Most “continued “ articles link correctly to the article remainder. Only drawback I have found is that there is a limit to magnification. Also like the fact that if you leave, upon return you are exactly where you left off.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Crashes often

*2021-03-11, version 2.9.10*

A very glitchy app that crashes often.  It often closes itself, and has to be restarted several times just to read the daily newspaper.

### 1/5 — Broken after last Apple update

*2021-01-31, version 2.9.10*

This app worked fine on my iPad until Apple required it’s latest security update.  Now the app automatically closes while trying to read the paper

### 1/5 — Getting worse!

*2020-11-15, version 2.9.10*

Most every day I attempt to read the PNJ print edition on my I pad.  Most every day I give up, unfinished!  Text drops out, pages drop out, the app crashes...numerous times.  I don’t think I have gone through an entire daily edition without it crashing in over a year.  I’m at the point of dropping the subscription entirely!  Please FIX THIS APP!

I use an iPad mini and my wife a regular iPad.  She is having the same issues.

### 1/5 — App not compatible with IOS 14

*2020-10-03, version 2.9.10*

This app does not seem compatible with iPadIOS 14.  The text disappears once it loads.  Please indicate whether you plan to make it compatible so subscribers can make the choice to retain the subscription.

### 1/5 — Unstable

*2019-12-22, version 2.9.10*

USA Today's money... and still can't produce a decent app.

### 1/5 — Broken—

*2019-10-12, version 2.9.10*

Since iOS 13 wont load any  issues past September 13, 2019. I find ironic and irritating that I subscribed to online only because of delivery issues with the hard copy. Now I cannot even get it delivered electronically!!!!

### 1/5 — Lousy

*2018-12-26, version 2.9.10*

You have my money and I can’t access the paper.  This is unacceptable.  In addition, your customer service stinks.

### 1/5 — This app is so unstable

*2018-04-20, version 2.6.87*

The last month this app is been so unstable.  Works one day and not the other, so much so that I’m about to cancel the news journal altogether.

### 1/5 — Does not work any more

*2017-02-06, version 2.6.49*

The contents does not load
When are you going to fix it it as been 2 weeks since it has stop working....,,

### 2/5 — Closes often

*2020-11-22, version 2.9.10*

Only trying to read the paper when the app closes on its own. Very frustrating.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2023-07-15*

I love this app because it is easy to select the article you want to read, then that article is all together. You don’t have to go back and forth between pages.

### 5/5 — New feature

*2023-06-30*

I like the new feature that allows me to read the whole article simply by touching story I want to read. It’s so much easier to exit whole story too. Awesome

### 5/5 — Works well! Much improved!

*2023-02-19*

So far seems to work smoothly… Much better than previous versions.

### 5/5 — Making our community better

*2022-11-23, version 3.6.13*

PNJ digital keeps me up to date with current events. We miss Marlette  challenging politicians. Please keep the heat.

Really appreciate Civicon that is truly raising civic IQ of our community.

### 5/5 — Senior citizen enjoying online paper.

*2022-09-03, version 3.6.13*

I was resistant to reading the paper online. Thought I had to have paper in hand. Forced to read online when Saturday delivery stopped. Found out I love reading online. I can enlarge print where I need to and I am not struggling to turn pages of paper. So I guess that goes to show you can teach an old dog new tricks.

### 5/5 — The Best Way To Get The News

*2022-07-03, version 3.6.13*

No wet or late papers.    This app will give you all the news you need to know.   Feels like a real newspaper because it is a real newspaper.    Keeps you up to date throughout the day with notifications of breaking news.   Love, love, love my daily paper The Pensacola News Journal.

### 5/5 — Great Newspaper

*2022-06-28, version 3.6.13*

Love having a newspaper to read without wasting paper. More information about our area than we find on the tv news.

### 5/5 — Love PNJ

*2022-05-02, version 3.3.14*

Really loving the virtual PNJ. We are moving back to Pensacola soon and it’s been great to keep up on everything that’s going on in the area. Can’t wait to be back!!

### 5/5 — Improving!!!

*2022-04-14, version 3.3.14*

I’ve used this app for years & it’s been mostly satisfying. It’s always had a few annoyances, but the last update has proven a significant improvement. The are still a couple of points of inconsistency & page transition which can be irritants, but overall progress is good. I do use this daily for the local news & look forward to continuing improvements.

### 5/5 — Good when paper isn’t delivered

*2022-04-07, version 3.3.14*

I am old fashioned and like to hold the newspaper in my hands. When delivery is late I use the app. It is easy to use but I still like the paper edition.  I have enough screen time at work and need a break.
