E Newspaper doesn’t work
My subscription is paid in full and I am currently logged in to my account. However, since the recent app update, I erroneously receive a message that the E Newspaper if available to subscribers only. I am a subscriber! This has happened following prior app updates and required additional updates to correct the problem. I presently have no electronic access to my paid in full newspaper. Print Delivery is also unreliable

Delaware Online Review
The site is dated. The stories are several days old. The app’s performance is awful. Takes forever to load. The search feature usually misses by a mile for relevant stories. It’s a shame because I want local DE news, not a national app. Not updated frequently enough.
Problems
Can’t access easily anymore
Jane’s
Very nice
Bait and switch
News Journal believes that the population base of New Castle County Delaware are fools. Develops version 1 of app and it allows full access to news stories. Updated version arrives and all content is behind a $15.00 per month pay wall. This is the same amount as the print version. I did not realize that bits are as expensive as paper. The Gannet company needs to get rid of its antiquated business model and join the 21st century. In short DO NOT BUY. Obviously Mike in Newark works for the News Journal.
Grateful
I have heard people denigrate the News Journal and certainly it isn’t the NYT’s. But I’m grateful that we still have a hometown paper as I feel it is important to keep up on local news. However, I would like more complete world news coverage. Also, I don’t seem to be able to access the editorial page so I hope someone can help me do that. And sometimes the app is quirky to navigate Iike when I’ve read it all and then it sort of won’t allow me to go back. I know this is a difficult time for journalism so please stick with it. It’s SO important. Thank you.
Where are the obituaries ?
Where are the obituaries ?
World news
Plenty of coverage concerning Ukraine. Very little concerning positive events, and or recent developments in Africa.
Easier to read than paper paper
Nice to have a paper app that’s is better than paper. So efficient and helpful to get local and national news in one spot. I can also skip stories of little interest to me.
Keeps telling me to subscribe
I pay $10 mo, and about 1/2 the time, I give up and just don’t read the article. It’s a great paper, but I am paying for nothing. If I could write it off as a donation, even. Update: got better and now worse than ever, but the price has increased, so I am paying more for nothing (except aggravation). I am unsubscribing. I’d love to support local journalism, but this is not working out
Nice AM read
Love it online
Jim
Have subscribed for generations
Love this app
Easy to access and convenient for brief reporting of the news.
Need to know the news
I was raised to read the daily newspaper. It is necessary to be well informed. News Journal does a good job.
Terrible
Very difficult to navigate. Almost impossible to cancel print edition using the app.
News journal
The screens bomb out thus needing to restart the app. 5 to 6 times per day. Pop up ads I don’t want and thought I wouldn’t get because I’m paying for the subscription. Front page article is usually something I’m not interested in and belongs on another page.
Cannot download in iPad app now
Starting today (April 16, 2025), the app does not provide a way to download the eNewspaper to my iPad. The modes for reading the paper on the iPad seem to work OK, but downloading it to iCloud permitted me to control how long I could access old editions. Please bring back the ability to download the complete edition to iCloud.
Accesabilty
My big problem is reading small fonts. Unlike other media apps I can’t increase font size.
Great paper
I enjoy reading this daily. Love the comics.
must login each time.
no stay logged in button
Clunky, outdated app
The Delawareonline app is an outdated, technically flawed, clunky app. The pop-up ads for the electronic version for subscribers is completely annoying. The app frequently freezes & crashes. It’s far too difficult to find prior editions after the recent “update”. Do better Gannett.
Delaware online keeps me informed and entertained
Title says it all. News, games and puzzles, commentary. It keeps me connected.
New format is HORRIBLE!
Too bad Delaware online is controlled by USA TODAY. So many better news sources to use. I really only use this one to read the obituaries (thank goodness I don't have to pay to see them, but soon they probably will charge for those too).
Expensive, hard to cancel, AI journalism
Seems that the quality of the reporting has gone downhill as fast as the cost of the subscription has gone up. More and more articles read as if edited by an AI bot, include pictures that don’t belong to the article, and the price has gone up to $20 (ok, just $19.99) per month for digital only. More that I pay for the NYT and WaPo combined. You can do many things online, but not cancel your subscription. You can do many things over the phone over the weekends, but not cancel your subscription. I wanted to support local journalism but I now feel taken advantage of.
Convenient reading
The online epaper is a good option
If I could give zero stars I would
Forced to use the new app but yet cannot access the e-newspaper. It comes up blank for me. Clicking on top stories is not my thing. I want to “turn the pages” as if I’m reading the actual paper. Please fix the e-newspaper section.
Does not perform well
This app keeps freezing up. I can’t get through a newspaper without having to reboot my device at least once
Good local coverage
I believe we need a strong press and it starts with covering local issues and governments. I believe the News Jornal has concentrated on getting better with local investigations. The only thing I don’t like is that sport scores and coverage is almost always a day late.
Where did enewspaper go.
Unable to get enewspaper the way it was before. Left side paper. Right side for expanding article. Ugh,job
Flaky app
The user interface is very flaky, often doing the wrong thing. Getting through the paper each morning is always a slog. And trying to print out the puzzles offers even more lags.
Much better app
I did not like the other enewspaper app before this one as advertisements kept popping up and I pay a monthly subscription for the news paper. This one doesn’t do that.
Fake advertising for subscription
Just be aware that this app advertises for $.99 for six month trial but as soon as I signed up for it, they took out $24.99 for a year so now I have to fight with Apple to get a refund and I would not have paid that much For the content of this paper. They have subscriber only sections that you can read for free in other newspapers that are local.
Robert Frazee
I have not received the newspaper two times this week. Today Sunday is an important paper for me. I would like a copy of the obituaries. I have bee a customer for over 0 years. I don’t think I should be treated the way. I would like to have the Sunday paper.
Love it
Great was to read paper in morning
DE App.
This app is terrible. The original app, which is no longer available, was much easier to use. Please restore the original print Edition News Journal App. Today it isn’t working at all.
Enewspaper clunky compared to news journal app
Does not fill page and when you click to see article it goes so large you only see half the article so you have to move up and down and sideways to see the article. My pet gripe is not being to easily print the Sudoku. You have to save as a pdf and then when you print its too small. The other app when you enlarged it their was an option to print and it was a good size when printed. Wish I could go back to the old app but looks you eliminated that option. Not Happy!
