User Reviews

Reviewers generally praise the Star-Ledger's digital edition for convenience and readability, with easy access and adjustable text. However, recurring complaints focus on performance instability, clumsy navigation, missing cross-page/link support, printable crossword formatting issues, and pricing concerns. Some users miss the print experience and features like search or content findability. Overall, the app is valued for accessibility but suffers from UX, performance, and layout shortcomings across multiple reviews.

Pros

Digital edition offers convenient on-device access with no print delivery
Font enlargement and better readability on screen
Easier navigation through sections and the ability to choose stories
Generally positive reception of the online edition's usability compared with the old print format

Cons

Slow performance and instability: slow loads, reloads when returning from background, and zoom not persisting
Poor navigation and UX: hard to navigate, not intuitive, lacks page numbers and headings for jumping sections
Limited or broken cross-page/link features: difficult to follow story continuations, can't follow web links, or use links in emails to open the app
Crossword puzzle printing/readability issues: puzzles print on many pages, too small, and not easy to print; higher cost
Pricing concerns: monthly price unchanged for digital and perceived value not worth it; requests for lower price

I’ve been reading the Star-Ledger since I was a kid, I wanted to continue reading it when I retired to Arizona. Since all my family (and sport teams) are back in NJ i decided to continue the reading experience digitally. Well, the experience is less than optimal in the app. It is extremely quirky . Here are a few of my observations: 1. Slow to load 2. Reloads when being activated from background 3. Will not maintain zoom on first (and most times second) use. A few seconds after zooming, it reverts back to the default 2 page view 4. When iPad is put to sleep, it will reboot even if it was active, and then see number 3 5. In facsimile view, it’s difficult to follow a story continued on other pages - the older versions had hyperlinks to the continuation 6. The lack of ability to follow web links in stories is frustrating. Why have the links if you can’t use them? Is there any way to make this app behave like the older versions? Upgrades are supposed to enhance the experience not make it worse.
