User reviews

Works well

Nice simple app, with hyperlocal investigative journalism.

Response from developer

We appreciate the positive review! Thank you for taking the time to let us know you’re enjoying the app.

Body font needs to be adjustable

Though the settings provide for font size adjustments, it only adjusts the heading text and not the body. This should be resolved to make the articles easily readable by customers with less than perfect eyesight.

Too sensitive on iPad Pro

I have an iPad Pro with S/W version 15.2.1. The ability to move from page to page is totally annoying as I cannot go from page to page without it jumping back to the previous page. It is extremely erratic. It was a continuing problem well before V15. I view on my Pro in the horizontal mode.

Just us the website

This app does not work to read the news. If you click on a story a page full of ads pops up. Might as well use the browser on your phone and not waste the space on your phone for this app.

No Landscape Mode

Why any app created in the last five years would not have a landscape mode is incomprehensible. I always use landscape mode on my iPad and rotating to read the W-S Journal is annoying. Get with the program coders!
