User Reviews

Users report significant dissatisfaction with the Edmonton Journal app due to a recent update that imposes a subscription paywall, making most content inaccessible without payment. Many complain about intrusive advertisements, including loud auto-playing videos and persistent pop-ups. The app suffers from technical issues such as articles not displaying correctly or at all, unreadable text, and functionality problems following updates. Additionally, users note poor customer support experiences and mandatory account registration as barriers to use. These combined issues have led many long-time users to uninstall the app.

Pros

Cons

Recent update introduced a paywall requiring a subscription to access most articles, which frustrates users.
App has become heavily advertisement-laden, including intrusive full-screen and auto-playing video ads.
Technical issues such as unreadable text (black on black), inability to scroll through articles, missing article content, and frequent app crashes or bugs after updates.
Poor customer support with slow or unhelpful responses regarding login and subscription problems.
Forced account registration to access basic content, which users find off-putting.

Prior to the recent update and subscription requirement, it used to be a good app. "Delete"

I downloaded the latest version of the Postmedia/ Edmonton Journal app. It is absolute garbage. I spent 20 minutes with their support person and nothing was resolved. It either doesn't identify me as a paid subscriber or if it does I can't access or participate in conversations. Don't waste your money, don't subscribe to Postmedia publications.
