User Reviews

User reviews praise the Statesman Journal app for solid local content, readability, and staying up to date. However, they frequently cite stale content, stability issues, intrusive ads, and subscription friction. Repeated stories and lack of fresh local news are common complaints, as are crashes, white screens, and inconsistent delivery. Ads (including audio ads) and login/subscription problems disrupt use, and readability issues like blurry pages and squiggles persist. Overall content value is high, but reliability and UX need major fixes.

Pros

Good, informative content with local coverage.
Strong local community coverage and staff reporting.
Easy-to-read digital edition with photos and updates.
Reliable online edition that is easy to start the day with.
Helps users stay up to date wherever they are.

Cons

Repetitive or week-old stories with little new local news.
Significant stability issues: crashes, white screens, and offline viewing problems.
Intrusive ads and pop-ups, including audio ads, plus navigation issues.
Subscription prompts and login problems, including not recognizing subscribers and even double charges.
Poor readability/presentation: blurry pages, squiggles, and clunky zoom.

Recent reviews

My only objection is often the same article is run two days in a row. Seems redundant. Is there not enough new news in Salem to get fresh information every day? I do appreciate getting update on new building and changes in the Salem area 😊
