User Reviews

Reviews praise Courier Journal for strong local coverage, credible reporting, and a readable digital edition that users can rely on daily. The app’s e-paper format and no-missed-edition promise are frequently cited positives. However, recurring complaints center on a clunky interface, stability issues, and glitches; subscription and pricing frustrations; inconsistent content timeliness (especially national and sports); post-update bugs and cross-device problems; and puzzle-related printing issues. These recurring themes define the overall user sentiment: valued local content and readability, tempered by performance and access challenges.

Pros

Strong local reporting with credible sources and excellent reporters.
Easy-to-read e-paper with adjustable print/lighting and no missed editions.
Daily essential tool that many users rely on to stay informed about local news.

Cons

Clunky, unfriendly UI with frequent glitches and occasional freezing.
Subscription access issues and high paywall price, including cross-device restoration problems.
Content timeliness gaps: national news after the fact and weak sports coverage.
Bugs after updates and cross-device problems, plus weak support when issues arise.
Puzzle/crossword features have printing/viewing issues for some users.

Recent reviews

Like it for the hometown news and the obituaries. Wonder why you can not download it out if the country?

This app is the way I like to read the CJ. However, recently when I bring up the enewspaper on my iPad, there is an overlay of ads, pictures, QR codes, who knows what all, that appears over the top of the content. It’s as if you printed something on a piece of paper that already had printing on it. Both content and ads are virtually unreadable. If you page over and come back, it might be gone. But that is no guarantee that it won’t be back. In addition, I love doing the crossword puzzles but for many months, “Today’s Crossword” cannot be printed in whole on letter sized paper from the iPad or iPhone. The USA Today puzzle is fine and the Sunday puzzles, though much bigger, are fine. If you try to reduce the size to fit on one sheet, it doesn’t change at all, and never will fit it all on one page. I can print it on one page from my PC but not from my iPad or iPhone, even though I used to be able to do this and can STILL print the USA Today puzzle from there.
