Great local/national news
Good writers and layout
New app is tertible
I make extrndive use of landscapre viewing on my phone. Landscape viewing capability is missing from the nee app as far as I can see. -Michael Potterd
PNJ
The eNewspaper allows me to quickly scan local, national and international news. Plus I still need most of the comics.
Format and Navigation are Horrible
I find it very difficult to navigate through the eNewspaper on my iPad. I like the local coverage but I am canceling my subscription due to the frustration and time consuming effort to navigate from story to story.
Lack of Local News
Why does the local paper not cover our pro baseball and hockey team on a daily basis? It would be easy. Post the daily scores and their records/division standings. This would create some excitement about these teams and encourage fans to read the paper to get the latest on their teams.

.
E edition
E edition of newspaper won’t load.
App change?
Not the same on line app this one stinks can’t print crosswords from my iPad also not as easy to scroll from page to page. Lately I’ve had to delete app than reload it to open up the paper
Difficult to Access
I am having a hard time finding what I am looking for. I keep going in circles.
Unable to change email address
My current email address will soon be defunct but I can find now way to enter a new email address.
Glad to support local media
I’m happy to support our local media, in particular The Pensacola News Journal, The Island Times, and radio/TV stations WUWF and WSRE.
Poor service
Can never get the enewspaper
PNJ is a very unstable app. But it’s the only decent newspaper in town.
That’s all
No consistent functionality
I print crosswords and sudoku every day. It will work fine for a while then no print icon. Now i can’t even do a screen shot because I can’t reduce the size of the puzzle. Can you fix this already? Complaining does no good. Never a response and I don’t really expect one now. I’m just so sick of this. If you want to go digital, fine, I understand. I even like the enewspaper option. I read it every morning but if that is the decision, do it right and make sure your options work because printing the above areas absolutely do not work! Change apps whatever, just make sure it works.
No comics nor puzzles
Will you ever include puzzles and the comics section to the PNJ app?
Good news
Fulfilling newspaper role of community involvement. Brings timely local news on digital format. Helping raise community civic IQ through Civicon and follow up stories.
App critique
Leaves out major stories in print edition. Inadequate differentiation between news and Editors seem to think restaurants openings are big news. Inability to submit letters to the editor. Poor coverage of local government. Lack of commitment to investigative journalism. No way to contact editorial management.
PNJ app is a good source of local news
I appreciate the reporting at PNJ. You all try your best to inform the people of Northwest . Thank you for your effort.
Ads with music? Really?
This app was fine for keeping up with at least the headlines. Now all the ads play music. Please explain to me who wants an ad playing music while they are scrolling through the news? Fix that (make the default mute at least) and maybe get another star or two.
Local Coverage
Locally informative.
Unreliable
Every day starts with a challenge when I try to navigate this app. I miss the print edition, but because it was printed in another city, I could never count on the time of delivery. Now I get messages like,” for subscribers only.” or, a page will freeze. Sometimes I will only get USA Today without any local news. There is not much that is intuitive about it. Reading the” paper.” has become laborious.
Good local news reporting
I love getting the paper online daily. It covers the stories where I live—Perdido Key—too. The Wednesday paper is my favorite as it has the best puzzles and the Publix and Winn Dixie sale papers. But I do not like that this paper is bias against Republicans!
Links from some pages consistently fail to launch or show “loading errors”
When sending feedback on this problem the feedback fails to send and says url not found.
Good Read
I enjoy reading the newspaper in “newspaper” form online in the morning. My husband enjoys reading in the evening when it comes by mail! It has been a ritual at our house for many years. The articles are well written and fairly neutral. Thanks for the hard work!
New App
Do not like! Not user friendly especially for older adults! Hard to read since the print’s so small & when reading the funnies you cant rotate each funny to make it larger. There’s no place to tap to print articles, puzzles, & detest the advertisement boxes that pop up (the PNJ isn’t free & I abhor the ad popups!) I suspect your current subscribers will finally bite the bullet & leave your paper! While I’m at it, there are always misspelled words & often poor grammar. Don’t have spell-check? And finally, your Andy Marlette cartoon is, as usual, not funny, politically biased & full of untruths, as is the rest of the news in PNJ.
PNJ - Great Way for Regular Visitors to Stay in Touch
We are regular users of state parks and campgrounds in the area and it's an easy way to stay in touch year 'round. It's a special area with a special newspaper.
PNJ
Very difficult to sign in. If you already have a subscription (since 1986) they want you to resubscribe
Easy reading
I find this to be one of the more intuitive reading apps.
Awful ad ridden app
We pay for a subscription, we show to be signed in and yet every time we use this app we have popup full page interruptions prompting us to subscribe. Not to mention ever third or fourth headline is not a news story but a paid advertisement disguised as news.
On top of the news
Love the Pnj
Doesn’t work
Doesn’t work on my ipad
A pleasure to read
Love reading the PNJ. Great local coverage.
Libtard rag
Libtard rag I guess when you don’t have any competition you don’t have to put out much effort
Excellent buy!!
A real treat for my old eyes. I can make the font size, style and contrast just the way I want it. Just what I needed.
Keep stealing money
Don’t fall for the 99 cents! They charge full price.
