Topeka Capital-Journal review

I enjoy reading the paper everyday. It does a nice job of covering local, national and world news. I especially enjoy the daily comics.

Online paper

Cannot get the enewspaper to load. Very very frustrating and annoying enough to cancel. Also cannot pull up comics and is a main reason I read the newspaper

Miss print

After being dragged into the 21st-century, I have come to enjoy reading the enewspapers each day. I do miss print though, especially for doing puzzles. This is why I’m giving the four out of five star rating.

Needs fixing

This app used to work OK but it no longer does. Many days I can’t get to the newspaper because I keep getting asked to subscribe. Signing into my account does not solve the problem. When I submit requests for help, they are not answered.

— BradBryant

★★★★☆ United States · v26.5.9 · 21 Oct 2021

Very helpful app

When I want to know specifically what’s happening in Kansas, CJONLINE is the place to go. Even if you don’t subscribe right away, you can still get the gist from their headlines. And it’s inexpensive to subscribe! They even let you read a few articles per month for free. Especially useful for news about Topeka, and state government.

★★☆☆☆ United States · v28.5.4 · 2 Nov 2025

It’s fine

Not a bad app itself but as a decently tech savvy person, I cannot figure out how to cancel my subscription. Stopping the subscription is not user-friendly. It says it’ll be charged to iTunes subscription, but when you go there it says “no subscriptions”, even though I got an email about an upcoming charge. Frustrating

Current News

I enjoy getting the update on Kansas news, both sports and political. Keep up the good work! I look forward to reading the paper every morning and catching up on the latest news on state politics, sports teams, and business news.

CJ online app

Not all articles will enlarge For example, in the USA Today edition I could not access the article about the Reacher show I couldn’t access a main sports article on golf I hope this isn’t a common problem

What a junk app this is now! It hasn’t worked flat a couple of weeks. I want my money back! It gets a no star rating

Wildcat Sports

I’m a proud alumnus of KSU and a subscriber to the online edition of your newspaper primarily to follow my alma mater’s athletic programs in your sports section. Lately it seems that, although KSU is the defending Big XII football champions and went further in the Big Dance than KU did, whoever’s job it is to select stories for your sports section has forgotten those facts. Every time I read the sports section KU stories outnumber KSU stories by a wide margin. You might want to look into a more balanced approach to your story selection, as I’m not the only KSU alum/fan who reads your paper.

Terrible news site

Two week old stories, poorly written articles. This is one of the worst news sites I have ever encountered.

Necessary evil

Newspaper apps must be hard. They’re balky, bulky, and temperamental.

★★★☆☆ United States · v26.8.1 · 28 Nov 2021

Layout needs work

When I log into the app, all I see is sports, sports, sports, news, sports ,sports etc. I feel it would be better to have them grouped on the home page, without having to go to the menu.

Regional news

While I can get national news from TV and newspapers, Northeast Kansas and Kansas as state level news, the Topeka Capital-Journal is still trying to keep readers informed about news from the capital of Kansas and our favorite sports teams from high school to the pros. If this regional coverage stops, then so will my subscription to the paper.

— Organist75

★☆☆☆☆ United States · v26.5.9 · 24 Jul 2021

Worst newspaper app ever

Ever since cjonline changed to this app last March, it has been terrible. It only works for 1-2 days then stops working with a message to call customer service, saying “We’re sorry.” I have called dozens of times in order to fix the problem. If they were truly sorry they would get a better app. I am soon going to drop the digital paper.

— Pacmanpost

★★☆☆☆ United States · v27.11.1 · 24 Jul 2024

Pop-up ads

Reading online with cell phone is tough enough. If we have to pay the yearly subscription price we should not be subjected to the annoying pop-up ads. Plus, can’t go back and see previous editions. So if miss a day you out of luck. COME ON MAN!!

Good local and regional coverage

The Capital Journal does stays on top of State news from the capital while reporting on local changes and sports. The easy connection to USA Today is also great.

News?

Purports to be providing news, but when you have to wade through articles which were updated 140+ days ago (business section), that isn’t news. We see the same "news" article day often day.

Articles Are Usually Stale!

Very frequently I find that the CJ Online articles are stale and there not a way to bring the most recently posted articles to the top. The app or the publisher need to give it attention.

Doesn’t always work!

Signed up for digital subscription. Keeps having me sign in and just keeps spinning and spinning and never gets me signed in. Have talked to their technical people but not much help. Got me going once and said it was a glitch on their part. Started working but is now doing it again. Some phone helpers say they have too many newspapers to deal with so not much help there.

App hasn’t worked for weeks

I used the app every day for months and then one day I received a random error (same as some of the other reviewers) and now the app just loads endlessly on launch screen. I’ve tried deleting and redownloading the app several times to no avail. A real disappointment.
