User Reviews

Reviewers praise the app for solid local news and a convenient portal to RJ’s online paper. However, widespread ad overload (including autoplay videos), paywall gating, instability, intrusive notification prompts, and limited offline/archive access are the most cited pain points across multiple reviews.
Pros
  • Good local Las Vegas news coverage with solid content.
  • The online paper and paid subscription are valued by readers.
  • The app provides a convenient way to access RJ's news on a mobile device.
  • The iPad edition offers a print-like reading experience (pinch-to-zoom) for some users.
Cons
  • Excessive ads and pop-ups disrupt reading, including autoplay videos.
  • Subscription/paywall gating content and inconsistent in-app purchase flow; many features require a paid subscription.
  • Frequent instability: app crashes, kicks users out, and sometimes opens external web links instead of within the app.
  • Intrusive push notifications prompts request activation of notifications every time the app is opened.
  • Limited offline access and archived issues: offline downloads are restricted and archived issues are not accessible.
