## Review summary

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
