Poughkeepsie Journal 12+

Great for local news

I really enjoy the local news from the high school sports to local school news to local politics and community interest articles. The Pojo is much better than the one paragraph blurbs on social media. I would love to see more information on upcoming local events like the weekend section. In addition to the crime and tragedy coverage, I look forward to the good news reporting.

Keep original e-edition app and stop asking me to switch to new s

Update : another difference between the Poughkeepsie Journal Print edition app and this Poughkeepsie Journal app is that this app allows pop up ads even when in the Print Edition selection. The pop ups linger on the screen (blocking content) for 10-20 seconds before an X appears to close out the ad. Effectively, these are forced “commercial breaks” when reading the paper you have purchased. This is also likely the reason readers are being forced to this app. While the pop ups are infrequent now, I am sure they will become more frequent. While I am not happy about it, I also recognize that financial support for our 4th estate is essential. As long as the reporting quality is maintained I can live with this.

This app is terrible for iPad. Keep original e-edition app and stop asking me to switch to new standalone app. Every time I see that message (and it pops up EVERY time I switch screen) it makes me think it’s time to cancel my subscription! Update- if you try to change settings on e-edition app you lose access to the app all together. Then you have to use the unusable app for iPad. An absolutely unusable app!

Great app, editing needs improvement

**Update...not crashing now. Since same app version, it must have been unruly ads or backend fix.
*Update: version 5.7.2 crashes repeatedly on iPad Pro iOS 11.3

This app works very well. The layout, fonts, photos, navigation and performance are superb. My only suggestion is that the editors should not "pin" insignificant articles to top of listing for days, weeks, or even months at a time. Also, I end up reading the same articles day after day because the editor marks it as updated, even though the update is not noted or obvious. The second oldest newspaper in the USA should do better.
