User Reviews

The Lansing State Journal app offers a workable digital edition with strong local content and improved readability, including back-issue access. However, users repeatedly report subscription billing problems, unstable performance, intrusive ads, forced app upgrades with missing features, and limited customer support. These issues far outweigh the positives for many users, though improvements after updates and the familiar format retain some loyalty among long-time readers.

Pros

The e-newspaper/digital edition provides a workable substitute for print with readable layouts and the ability to read back issues.
Strong local coverage and fair-minded reporting.
Positive impressions after updates with fewer glitches and improved reliability.
Digital format offers larger text for easier reading.

Cons

Billing and access problems: customers are charged yet cannot access content, with issues around subscriptions and auto-signups.
App reliability issues: the app spins, fails to load, or shows unreadable content due to zoom and overlays.
Excessive/ intrusive ads and pop-ups that interrupt reading.
Forced app upgrades and missing or broken features (e.g., can't rotate comics; can't access e-newspaper).
Poor customer support and navigation/account management problems (no easy way to contact support; issues with delivery holds).

Recent reviews

You can teach an old dog new tricks. Never thought I’d survive without the print edition but now we love the e- newspaper.

This app charged me for the subscription then says that I have to subscribe to access the content. I am using the same login. It really sucks being charged $70 for access and not being able to use it.
