Enjoying the app
Appreciate the news updates
One of the worst apps I’ve experienced!
Took forever to get the Review line to let me enter Review. I’m logged into your app and can now see most news. Why does it still tell me that some stories are only available to subscribers? And why is it always sending a link to subscribe?
Like the idea but the app fails to deliver
JSONLINE is clunky but improving.
Almost Unreadable due to Ads
Reading in the app has become almost unbearable due to ads popping up through scrolling. Ads open up in Safari or open the App Store, forcing you to close and go back to the JS online app. Nearing the point of canceling subscription.
J/S online
Although I look forward to reading through the J/S online everyday to keep connected to the Milwaukee area’s news, I do find it a couple of days late on reporting news and also find articles repeated two,three sometimes four times. Seems like just filling space. Also, to be honest, media, including newspapers should report real news without bias. I find J/S to be VERY slanted liberal/left leaning everyday, with numerous articles by columnists going out of their way to find one negative about any positive item a conservative newsmaker is making. It’s SO obvious. Bring back REAL JOURNALISTIC REPORTING,PLEASE.
MJS App
I recently started reading the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and I am pleased with the depth of coverage from local to world news. The app is easy to navigate and I will continue to explore its features.
Way too many advertisements
Could be a good app, but as usual too many advertisers so you have to scroll through what seems like a 100 adds to get to one story. Sad
Proofread the final edition before it goes out?
I’ve been a Journal Sentinel reader for years. Paper and online. Did y’all have a proofreader(s) on staff during your paper editions heyday? Do your reporters or writers proofread their own stories? Maybe? Some days I need to push myself away from the table, get myself another cup of coffee, sit back down and tell myself, “You can do this.” “You can unravel this article.” Please ask your reporters/writers to take one last look at their stories before they hit the SEND button? Thanks for your time. Respectfully, Mike Jaroch
If I don’t have a paid subscription, why are almost all of my push notifications behind the paywall
🙄
Bias
The biased runs deeper than ever, whether it’s what, who or how they cover the story. That said it’s still a useful digital purchase for spotty local coverage and plenty of opinion.
JSO
Is a great, well written paper!
App has become useless
I’ve used this app for years without any issues, but over the last month or so, it’s become useless. Within a minute of opening, a MJS ad pops up, blocking the entire page, and I’m unable to close it. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app and it still happened. I only have a digital subscription. If the app isn’t fixed soon, I’m going to cancel it.
Paper
Enjoy the paper on line. The paper is easy to access no matter which form I choose to read. About three weeks ago the game part of the app dropped down and some of the games can’t be played. When chatting with tech person about the problem they could not help.
Fair journalism
Reporting is too much left leaning.
Content Good. App is buggy and annoying.
The app continuously hangs up when re-entering it, forcing a kill and restart. To get over this, set the location services to “Never” use. A daily splash Ad appears unexpectedly when reading an article asking to create an account which is bogus. I’m already a subscriber. Very annoying.
Quality News
I enjoy getting quality, thorough news delivered through an app where it doesn’t keep me endlessly scrolling.
Cannot see Pay Bill option from app
From my computer I get a pay bill option. Where do I find this on the app
Keeping me in the loop
I enjoy reading the paper on my tablet, without the paper waste. It’s nice when I travel because I can keep in touch with local stories back home. The USA Today access is also great. One change that I’d recommend is link the MJS sports stats with the USA Today stats. MJS lags by a day, which is ridicules. How can it make sense that I can keep scrolling to find the real, current stats.
Frustrating
Please fix issue of when I open a specific article why after scrolling and reading, the content goes blank when it is obvious the article should continue. Just want to access what I am paying for!
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Hi, testing
Great local newspaper
I am so pleased that still have such a great local newspaper in Milwaukee. It is very important to have such a resource.
Will not activate
Signed up through Apple and I cannot activate it. Tried customer support but they blame Apple and Apple blames the App.
E Newspaper review
I continually have problems getting enewspaper with this app on my iPad. When i can open enewspaper I like the paper and rate it around 3-4. Right now i feel like the dole days- is my paper going to be delivered today??? Ps. I DONT have problems getting Wall Stret Journal, New York Times,n and Washington Post. I’m disappointed.
Fails to recognize subscription
This app frequently fails to recognize my subscription. Easiest to cancel subscription and just use the app
Declining performance
The app used to take about 5 to 10 seconds to load the enewspaper. Now it takes at least a minute and chews up ~2% of the battery. Please undo whatever “improvement” was done and restore the previous performance.
I’m happy that I tried it.
I was wary of trying this new version of reading the newspaper, but I found it’s been pretty easy to maneuver between pages, easy to read, and I’m able to print the puzzles I love in the green sheet. YAY! All in all, I’m pleasantly surprised. I’m in my mid 70’s, and I found it very easy to read on my iPad after a little bit of “trial and error”learning.
No privacy opt out
App does not let you opt out of targeting and other nonessential data use
Review of September Update
Not happy with the new design. On a tablet you must scroll through all entries to choose what to read. Prefer the at a glance grid style to make reading selections.
Late news
JS content is pretty good...balanced political presentation, but if you’re looking for the pleasure of reading last night’s sports, good luck! Not so good in Packer land, Buckland, or Brewers’ Country. When that happens I want to give up my subscription.
Good online enewspaper format
I really enjoy the daily enewspaper format. I can look at it like a paper but click into stories to read the font bigger.
Widget in Liquid Glass doesn’t work
Please fix it
Political Analysts
I would prefer to read about the news, I’m not interested in hearing about the political opinions of the Journal/Sentinel board and staff.
Embracing the old school
Great place for loco news in an old-school format
Isn’t getting better
App used to be pretty easy, open app and scroll down to see many articles. Now you have to dig by section or other methods. I constantly get links back to stories on site from Google search page I didn’t see on the Journal site. Newest aggravation is the constant popups to subscribe when I am already a subscriber. Check settings and it shows I’m signed in. Really needs an overhaul. Update 3/25/23… This app is horrible on iPad. Open and main page will let you scroll 5 rows of stories and then flicker and flash. Only way to see more stories is to go section by section which is tedious. Also constantly get pop ups to subscribe when I’m already a subscriber. If you open USA Today’s app which is on the same platform no problem, scroll all you want. Please fix the issues on this.
Newspaper
Being able to read the news in a newspaper format is fantastic. I hate the click bait format that has become the standard. Don’t lose the history of the newspaper in order to keep up w the millennials.
My opinion
This is a VERY liberal sided “paper”” If there was any other App that covered local news or sports , I would DEFINITELY be on it !!! And now to make it even worse. The only “ news” posted is from about 3 days ago. C’mon JSonline , DO BETTER!! Michael
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
I enjoy your MJ newspaper very much! Well organized, very good sports & general news Articles! Thank you for a job well done! Regards, Bernie Ostrenga
Useless app
There’s no way to suspend delivery, or if there is, it’s so obscure I couldn’t fine it. There is an option to cancel the subscription, however, and I came very close to doing that,
