### 3/5 — Stevens Point Journal

*2023-08-01*

The Stevens Point Journal is not really a local paper…it has local obituaries but the news is mostly state news we can’t get much local news except on the digital app,  this is Gannett owned and all their daily papers read alike. When this paper was privately owned we got daily local news!!!!!

### 5/5 — News at my fingertips!

*2021-12-12*

Love having the SPJ app on my phone so I can easily keep up with news and weather throughout the day. This time of year it’s great to be able to stay on top of weather, closings, etc.

### 2/5 — Obits not working

*2021-08-21*

Theres not much more that we subscribe for than the obits. Yesterdays news and one sided political viewpoints are digusting

### 1/5 — Little value and nearly impossible to cancel

*2021-04-12*

Been trying to figure out how to cancel this useless publication for 2 hours after they once again increased my monthly subscription.  No - I can’t manage my subscription on your crappy app or in my iTunes account.  Guess I’ll need to try talking to a real person tomorrow- who will probably try to refer me to my purchase history in iTunes that does not appear anywhere.  Funny, they find a way to bill my US Bank account though.

### 1/5 — Poor coverage

*2021-03-10*

If actual news happens in the Stevens Point area, I have to look at WAOW or WSAU to find the story.  I have subscribed for years but am now canceling because I’m fed up!

### 3/5 — Great paper

*2021-02-18*

I lived in point area for 23 years, after I moved away I always find myself going on line to check out what happened and what’s going happen around stevens point. It’s a wonderful place to live.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-04-03*

Good source of local news

### 3/5 — Format selection unnecessarily fussy

*2019-06-08*

I like the traditional layout which shows the paper as it’s printed. To get there in the iPhone app I have to go to My Account select e-paper and select HTML format each time. Should be a onetime setting. Especially now when My Account is down.

### 5/5 — Stevens Point Journal App

*2017-11-12*

Like the area and enjoy the good information.

### 5/5 — Keeps me in the know since I live in MD

*2016-10-07*

Love the app and use it to keep informed since I am a native living elsewhere.
