Lakeland ledger

I love it!

eNewspaper

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.

Daily jumble

Can’t find it anywhere

Expensive then u see adds

You pay then see adds - dropped like hot potato.

ENewspaper

Great format. Love being able to read the local and national news. Good coverage with honest reporting.

E-Newspaper

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

High quality local

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.

Good local news but a bit left

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.

Can not be expanded so I can read it

An opportunity missed

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.

Excellent

Great coverage of both local and National news. Fair and complete!

eNewspaper

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.

Our daily newspaper

We read it every day and enjoy doing the puzzles.

Update

I cannot open the app

Ledger 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, I’m done. I will get my news elsewhere, in a much easier format.

It Works!

Works for me, no kinks so far, easy to navigate.

App is flaky, drops your connection

This app has not been updated regularly and loses connection

Needs Huge Improvement

Barely functional with too many β€œclick” ads for worthless products. Not user friendly. Am worried about what information they are trying to get from my phone. Not any identity protections at all. Many questionable settings with no explanations.
