User Reviews

Users praise Delaware Online for convenient, all-in-one access to local and national news and the optional e-newspaper, plus loyalty from long-time subscribers and added content like comics. However, many reviews converge on reliability and value problems: the app is prone to freezing, crashing, and slow loading; navigation is clunky and stay-logged-in options are missing; pricing is criticized as expensive with paywalls and sometimes misleading trials; content freshness is inconsistent (stories days old) and key sections (editorial page, obituaries) are missing; ads disrupt reading. Users want a more stable, up-to-date, better-valued experience.
Pros
  • One-stop, convenient access to local and national news.
  • Online e-paper / epaper option is valuable.
  • Strong focus on local news and community coverage.
  • Loyal, long-time subscribers enjoy morning reading.
  • Extras like comics/puzzles add value.
Cons
  • Frequent performance issues: freezes, crashes, slow loading.
  • Navigation and UI problems: difficult to navigate, stay-logged-in missing.
  • Pricing concerns: subscription price increases and paywalls reduce value.
  • Content gaps: stories often outdated; missing obituaries/editorial page; uneven coverage.
  • Ads/pop-ups disrupt reading and are intrusive.

Nice to have a paper app that’s is better than paper. So efficient and helpful to get local and national news in one spot. I can also skip stories of little interest to me.

News Journal believes that the population base of New Castle County Delaware are fools. Develops version 1 of app and it allows full access to news stories. Updated version arrives and all content is behind a $15.00 per month pay wall. This is the same amount as the print version. I did not realize that bits are as expensive as paper. The Gannet company needs to get rid of its antiquated business model and join the 21st century. In short DO NOT BUY. Obviously Mike in Newark works for the News Journal.

I was raised to read the daily newspaper. It is necessary to be well informed. News Journal does a good job.
