Can not be expanded so I can read it
I have tried multiple times with email chat conversations with Eddie. No help available for signing in for an app that I have had for years
When trying to sign in the window is blank. Bad update.
I love it!
I enjoy the eNewspaper by the Ledger for its content. I enjoy the convenience and portability. And since I last reviewed it, there was a significant update. I am no longer having to deal with the issues that occurred in the previous version.
Canβt find it anywhere
You pay then see adds - dropped like hot potato.
Great format. Love being able to read the local and national news. Good coverage with honest reporting.
As a boomer, I have typically enjoyed getting the morning paper. However, as times change, I have learned to appreciate the electronic version.

Horrible. I am a subscriber of the Journal News in Westchester County, NY. I cannot access the paper with this horrible app
USAToday owned, The Ledger dropped the daily op-ed page (now Sundays), and much of their staff. Still, for Lakeland and Polk County, we need active reporting, and the Ledger does a good job. The e-newspaper works well in the app, no digital ads either. The feed has too much digital advertising.
I very much enjoy getting my local newspaper by app. My only issue is its presentation of the news leans to the left. Bias should be limited to editorial pages, not news pages.

Great newspaper. Having the ability to link through to USA Today helps bring a more comprehensive coverage. I would like more local news, and a more timely coverage on the local news that we do receive. Recently, there was a very unfortunate drowning of a young boy in a local lake. I did not see any coverage of this event in the paper (it was on broadcast news). Without casting ANY dispersion on the family of the victim, coverage would have allowed the community as a whole to rally around the family, and would have been a stark reminder to families in the community to stress to their children (and adults) the importance of never entering any lake without a life jacket on, wether from shore or from a boat. That was an opportunity missed.

Great coverage of both local and National news. Fair and complete!
I enjoy the eNewspaper by the Ledger for its content. I enjoy the convenience and portability, but I feel the programming is not as good as it could be. Often, it is difficult to move through the pages or, especially, to zoom in on an article I want to read using my iPad.
We read it every day and enjoy doing the puzzles.
I cannot open the app
This app Stinks! The digital paper is filled with debugs that show up out of nowhere. Once a recovery has been obtained, the paper backs up a page, and you must re-advance which is tricky. It is frustrating to try and read. Whoever designed this app should be fired. On top of that, what used to be a nice, hometown paper is largely gone. It has become a shell with few local reporters. It has been replaced with USA/Reuters and the left-wing stench of prejudiced reporting. As well, even the obituaries are so expensive that most go unreported. After over 40 years of subscribing, Iβm done. I will get my news elsewhere, in a much easier format.
