2025-10-30	Re*****	Only lets me see half page view even when choosing full view. If expand the page, it is the too big.

2025-09-24	Ho*****	Want current news, wait a day. Want high school sports, look elsewhere. Need to bring cutoff for news into the evening, not early afternoon. Then write in-depth about local sports (might cover one football game and a day or so later, put in some stats on individual players). Hire people to report and investigate, not simply reiterate what someone says with no true examination.

2025-04-21	De*****	The new app is easy to navigate but I am unable to copy links and share…either to e-mail or Facebook Messenger. It says the e-mail is sent but it doesn’t send. I can’t find the option to send in Facebook Messenger…this was an option in the old app.

2025-04-05	Su*****	The DNJ stopped being a local newspaper when Gannett bought it. There are so many local issues that affect Rutherford Countians daily lives that the newspaper is ignoring. State and national news outlets abound. We need LOCAL news!

2025-03-20	in*****	This app tells me I’m logged into my subscription, but still won’t let me view anything but sports. It NEVER works right for me.

2024-07-22	T.*****	May be the worst newspaper in the USA. Very few new stories daily,continually runs the SAME story for days. We understand Murfreesboro is welcoming a new Trader Joe’s, as the DNJ has run the same story each day for 10 days!! We get It!

2023-09-11	pl*****	No dynamic zoom, only fit page or one level of zoom, which doesn’t enlarge enough to read fine print.The previous app zooms dynamically. Why make it worse?
