User Reviews

Users praise NJ.com for local coverage and ease of navigation, but the app suffers from reliability and performance issues: long load times, crashes, intrusive ads and paywalls, plus login/subscription cross-platform problems and search glitches. The main desire is a fast, stable reader with smoother access to subscriber content.
Pros
  • Strong local and statewide NJ news coverage that many subscribers value.
  • iOS app is reasonably easy to navigate.
  • The widget provides updates for those who use it.
Cons
  • Very slow startup and long load times for content.
  • Frequent crashes and freezes when opening or reading articles.
  • Intrusive ads disrupt reading and sometimes redirect to external sites.
  • Paywalls and frequent subscription prompts limit access to content; inconsistent access across platforms (Apple ID).
  • Search and navigation issues: search delays, keyboard not appearing, and occasional blank screens.

The app would not open today after 3 attempts. When the app does open, it takes 30 to 60 seconds to populate. I’m paying $10 a month because I like local news. I’m out.

This app is horrible. Waiting for over a minute to load every time or even longer. Was happy to pay for a subscription to support the press, but I can’t even read stories. Did not renew. No thanks

The app rarely opens and when it does, it crashes. It’s the only news app that does this and the phone has 128g. Fix it
