Far left propaganda
So unfairly bias. Country crying out for middle ground
Loosest use of word ‘news’
Had this app some years now and sadly it continues to slide from a source of news, to simply a platform for the contributors views and egos. Content is often shambolically presented with an overuse of gifs. Probably I’m now outside target audience, with focus now being on people who would rather be told what to think rather than think for themselves. Comments section can be very nasty.
Update: Aug 25. Deleted. Don’t mind ads so was happy to read without ‘signing in’. Now mandatory that even to read you have to sign in. Not going to happen . They state that“It could allow us to be more commercially viable to advertisers and make it easier for us to bring you a more tailored and useful experience…To be clear, we haven’t yet decided whether sign-ins will be mandatory in the future; we are using this phase to understand and analyse its impact.
Is this the beginning of a paywall?
We at The Journal believe access to quality information is a cornerstone of a democratic community. We are committed to being a source for this kind of vital information and it is why we encourage those who can afford it to consider contributing to our readers’ fund to keep access open for those who need it most…”

Video Ads make app Unusable
This used to be my primary news app. I’m not against advertising on news apps, however I find this forced video advertising to be extremely distracting. It also consumes a lot more data so I am no longer able to use the app if I’m not using WiFi

No reports on Ulster games or does the gaa only happen in 3 provinces?
Or is it just lazy journalism

Censorship
I was contributor for over 10 years, never rude or broke their rules. But they banned me and likely thousands of others from posting comments that didn’t align with their globalist values.
The only way
Only tells the news the government wants it to tell. Not real news

I find your reporting very pro- British. If someone mentions ‘the north of Ireland’ you will change it to Northern Ireland, why? What you are doing is what the Brit’s want - portray the 6 counties as a different country oblivious to the thousands of Irish people who see it as much a part of Ireland as cork or Kerry. If you want to be viewed as an independent and honest news app then quote people in what and how they say things not as you would want them to say it. Actually, I’d love to know the answer to this question - are you instructed/told you MUST revere to the north of Ireland as Northern Ireland and change people’s reference to NI using any other term????

Comments
Leave thé comments section open for discussion. Otherwise the app isn’t worth downloading
Copy & Paste
Biased , lazy reporting with many articles copy & pasted from other sites . Comments closed on too many articles and when they are open many get removed if subject matter is in any way challenged .
Concise news
Just the right amount for my interest level.
Great news
Well written
News from an Irish perspective

Love the journal.Ireland in the Scottish highlands.
Journal review
A wonderful, fairly comprehensive daily account of national and international happenings. No convoluted language. Well done to all journalists.
Same topic for 2 years
Over the last 2 years I’ve stopped opening the app due to 90% of the articles being about covid. I just recently opened the app and its still at least 75% about covid. Its like nothing else is going on???
Great site to get news from home and around the world
Great reporting from all the staff.
Journal
Love the journal and the comments after an article are like life itself… funny, sad, angry ,loving , and strange… life is for living 🤝
