Bias should be limited to editorial pages, not news pages. ### 4/5 — An opportunity missed *2025-03-28, version 8.1.0* 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. ### 4/5 — eNewspaper *2025-02-13* 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. ### 5/5 — Status *2024-05-23, version 7.9.1* I have subscriptions to paper and online. Whenever I log in which I do from the dail email, it either opens or it tells me i dont have account. And wants me to log in using password, which I no longer remember correctly because it wont log me in. One device logs in most the time, the other is hit or miss. ### 1/5 — Problems with app *2024-02-06, version 7.5.1* Every time I pull up a story to read the screen goes blank after about 30 sec. Then it reboots and I have to start all over. Very frustrating and aggravating. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-01-27* Great coverage of both local and National news. Fair and complete! ### 5/5 — Our daily newspaper *2024-01-16* We read it every day and enjoy doing the puzzles. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t match iPad as old app *2023-11-11, version 7.3.3* You have consistently increase or decrease size of page ### 2/5 — Unable to access e edition *2023-10-08, version 7.3.3* Despite being a subscriber I am unable to to read the e edition. Ever since the app was updated I have not been able to access the e edition. I have called the Ledger twice but nobody has been able to help. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The ledger *2026-05-24, version 8.10.1* Can not be expanded so I can read it ### 1/5 — Can’t sign in *2026-05-22, version 8.10.1* 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 ### 1/5 — Can no longer sign in *2026-03-24, version 8.9.0* When trying to sign in the window is blank. Bad update. ### 1/5 — Daily jumble *2025-08-23, version 8.1.0* Can’t find it anywhere ### 1/5 — Tony *2025-05-02, version 8.1.0* Horrible. I am a subscriber of the Journal News in Westchester County, NY. I cannot access the paper with this horrible app ### 1/5 — The ledger *2025-03-29, version 8.1.0* Can not be expanded so I can read it ### 1/5 — Ledger App *2024-10-16, version 7.13.0* 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. ### 1/5 — App is flaky, drops your connection *2024-08-04, version 7.11.1* This app has not been updated regularly and loses connection ### 1/5 — Needs Huge Improvement *2024-07-25, version 7.11.1* Barely functional with too many “click” 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. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2024-07-18, version 7.11.1* I open the app on Thursday and can only see the enewspaper from the prior Tuesday. I can find no functionality to get to the Thursday issue. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lakeland ledger *2025-12-30, version 8.6.0* I love it! ### 5/5 — eNewspaper *2025-11-15, version 8.6.0* 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. ### 5/5 — ENewspaper *2025-06-08, version 8.1.0* Great format. Love being able to read the local and national news. Good coverage with honest reporting. ### 5/5 — E-Newspaper *2025-05-31, version 8.1.0* As a boomer, I have typically enjoyed getting the morning paper. However, as times change, I have learned to appreciate the electronic version. ### 5/5 — eNewspaper *2025-05-21* 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. ### 5/5 — High quality local *2025-04-25, version 8.1.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-03-27, version 8.1.0* Great coverage of both local and National news. Fair and complete! ### 5/5 — Our daily newspaper *2025-02-05, version 7.14.0* We read it every day and enjoy doing the puzzles. ### 5/5 — Update *2024-10-25, version 7.13.3* I cannot open the app ### 5/5 — It Works! *2024-09-25, version 7.13.0* Works for me, no kinks so far, easy to navigate. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
