  1. 1/5Paywall

    Version 18 added a paywall that made all stories unreadable without subscription, FYI.

  2. 1/5Everything under a paywall now

    No longer can read any articles at all without a pay subscription. Just another way to be nickel and dime d. Will be deleting as it’s now totally useless. I can understand it being that way for some of the content but not all. Goodbye 👋

  3. 2/5Good newspaper, app is horrible

    The Journal News app has been a skeleton of its former self for months, but we were told that it was intentional while they improved it, and they asked our patience and said that in the interim the Dayton Daily app would remain fully functional. Well today the update for both arrived and after I applied it to JN it still doesn't allow me to bookmark articles from the paper as it used to, and it also deleted all my previous article bookmarks. Gone! What's more, it was extremely difficult trying to login and it didn't keep me logged in even after I did finally get in. (Did not have any problems on the DDN app login which is still previous version!) The new digital newspaper format (now called eEdition) is a horrible version that judders and changes, and it's presented inside multiple frames, including bright blinking ads and huge menu bars that take up so much space the window for viewing the actual content on my iPhone is now only two and half inches! I just want the app to eDeliver the daily paper and allow me to read it with ease and bookmark articles for rereading later. I can barely read the content with the new update, and the ads, multiple logins, failed bookmarks, etc are a disservice to the journalists and others who provide the content. I want to support this newspaper, but what good is my subscription if I cannot access the content?

  4. 1/5Terrible update

    Trying to read the news is frustrating! There are ads at the top and bottom of my iPad screen. The ads take up half the screen now. Terrible!
