I understand the needs for ads if you're providing the content for free. No problem with that. But, please learn how to display the ads tastefully and intelligently. As your app becomes more and more unusable, it won't matter how many ads you have if no one is using your product. Please fire your developers (one look at the app tells you they have no idea what they're doing) and fix this app. Update to new version: Wow, you managed to make it worse. Please Journal Star, fire these people. They have no idea what they're doing.
New app a Mess
Fairwaywalker
The new Journal Star app is a jumbled mess. The prior version was easy to navigate with the stories listed in a column on the side. There is no rhyme or reason to this new version. Also, the new app does not rotate to Landscape on my iPad. Please bring back the previous version. This is awful! What were you thinking?
From ok to unusable

The latest update to the app has made it very difficult to use. The banners are too big for the iPad display. Also the screen is locked in portrait orientation and won’t rotate to landscape. I’ve abandoned use of the app and use the website instead.
No Content

I have emailed support and heard nothing back. I constantly get a no content error. The app is utterly unusable.
More Ads, Bigger Ads

If the number of stars depended on the amount and size of the ads, this would be a fantastic app. Unfortunately, the size and amount of ads seem to be squeezing the real content out. Still a substandard app.
Nearly Unusable

Inexplicably, the search function is now gone. Since that had been about the only way to find anything, it’s an open question as to whether the app is worth the space it takes up on the phone. Why in the world is the Journal Star sticking with these clueless developers?
New interface is terrible
dvannier
The new interface is terrible. It’s hard to read text over the pictures and is hard to see the news at a glance. I hardly ever open the app anymore. The few times I have were to see if it had been switched back to the old interface
Worthless is an understatement!
Tight-wad
Their publications are not even worthy enough for toilet paper.
