Well I have been reading the CJ since I could read, and kept a subscription since I left home to go to college. If the app met the jounalistic standards of the CJ with which I grew up, I would be one happy reader. Sadly it does not...either from a journalistic or app ease of use perspective. Sad.

Forced download of new version that is slower and harder to read. Actually preferred old pc style website except for the design decision to display selected story in overlay.

Simulation of horse racing doesn't have a lot of the best horses so how can it really tell you anything? Missing are Sunday Silence, Secretariat, Man o'War, Seattle Slew, Alysheba, Curlin, Rags to Riches, & so on & so on, & so on! There are no directions, no TV or movies. I would never actually use it, even for free!

I want to look at Opinion pages and I don't need to have 8 of the top 10 "top stories" about basketball! Why not have the layout the same as the print version with actual NEWS as the top button? Yuck!

I love that I could get local news for free from the app. I also liked getting breaking news alerts until they started making them for Information like the score at the end of a football quarter. They need to separate their notifications I feel that breaking news is really only major news. They also need to allow notification tone to be selected. All in all it's a good start and a useful app, but it needs improvements to not irk me.

Very convenient but crashes often and navigating back to home screen always jumps back to the top of the page...VERY ANNOYING!

Crashes constantly, Gannett needs to get it together. If I could just get this delivered to my Kindle every morning the convenience factor may be worth the price. But with lack of decent local reporting and the TV news outlets having better content I just don't see the point.

Why does the courier journal think that people will pay $ for their news paper, website use or this app when there are sooo many other viable, credible, FREE news sources available? Or maybe that's just what happens right before a news publisher goes out of business...

The CJ app does a good job. The navigation and layout is much simpler However, I don't like the placement of bottom menu buttons, and the search "hourglass" is missing; hard to believe, isn't it?
