Saving resources

Using paper newspaper is antiquated and bad for the environment.

Very unhappy

I want the full newspaper as printed
That is what I subscribed for

Much improved

Good local sports and news

Super Glitchy

I’ve been a subscriber for decades but the app refuses to let me refresh my subscription so I get no subscriber access. (We get the paper version delivered to our mailbox, but that’s always 2 day old news by that point.)

My IPad can’t load the enews

I guess after all the years of enjoying the enews I will have to cancel my subscription. I have an older device that won’t load 16 so I can’t get the enews.
Thank you for the years of good service and information that I have enjoyed.
Please cancel my subscription.

Prefer the IPad way of reading the paper.A plus.

No Paper on Saturday 2/22

There was no online paper on 2/22. Plenty of sports and real estate listings. Unacceptable!!

Good

Working well, not a fan of opening ad for 6 months at $1 when I paid $10 for a year.

So sad

“Old” paper e edition was much better but can’t get it now, only this poor on line “new” version. If my husband didn’t like the print version we would just drop our subscription.

Poor visibility

This is almost impossible to read as a “newspaper “.

Refresh the articles

I find the E-edition of the paper very irritating. Today is Feb 19th and we still have articles on finding your best live Christmas tree. Sssssoooo many articles are repeated over and over.

The app should provide a way to display new articles only. I read each day. 50% of my time is looking for new articles. Even if you put a date on the article it would help.

Changes are No Good

I got this app through Apple somehow. I used to be able to use the E Edition of the paper with a different app through this subscription, but the E Edition stopped working for some reason. When I contacted the paper, they told me that I got the app through a third party and could not help me. I contacted Apple and they told me they could not help me. The E Edition is not included any more and it’s four times what I pay for this app. Needless to say, I am deleting both apps and canceling my subscription. This app seems like it repeats articles and is hard to “read the paper”. I liked the other app better (the E Edition), but am not willing to pay more than my subscription for the Chicago Tribune for it.

Awful

Terrible

I can’t find the e-edition.

Keeps me in the know

Keeps me “in the know” with Rockford area news when I am in Florida for the winter.

I like the newspaper format better

I like the newspaper format better The daily push notification for the newspaper format has been discontinued. Very disappointed.

Awful

The new format is horrible!

Great for local news!

The Register Star has all the local news I can’t find anywhere else. It’s very reliable, and the stories are quite accurate.
