Pros and cons of Edmonton Journal app for iPhone and iPad
Edmonton Journal app good for
Thanks for updating your interface! So much better than the original!
Now, if you can update that share button to include and allow sharing via means other than just Email, Twitter, Facebook, that would be so great!
The new journal app I thought is very well laid out, extremely readable and runs quite smoothly. I honestly dont know why so many people are giving it one star.
I, for one, quite like that they no longer have comments. I find that comments on news articles tend to detract from the actual news itself and almost always end up turning into some form of uneducated argument.
Secondly, although the ads are fairly large, they dont feel very obtrusive and I honestly would rather see the occasional advertisement than pay for a monthly subscription. However again, that is just my opinion.
Also, I have not experienced any problems with crashing or lagging that some others have reported, although Im sure it might vary on what device you have, the app itself runs well on my 5c.
Lastly, to everyone rating it one star because its now orange: Are you serious? Youre rating an app one star because they changed the colour of their theme? I think you may want to reevaluate your priorities if the biggest issue you have with how your news aggregate is its colour. And honestly, I kind of think the orange looks fresh!
Great bus app now that they fixed the glitch with nearby bus stops
Some bad moments
I cant believe that while a Canada wide amber alert is in effect you choose to scroll "Breaking News EJ has a new app!"
Finally the Journal is showing its true colours.
It always been a closet socialist rag, nice to see they have come clean on who they support.
Definitely preferred previous version colours, story size and ease of scrolling. I hoped other papers, like the Ottawa Citizen, would follow the Journals clean design instead of vice versa.
The banner colour is horrendous. The comment section on articles has disappeared. That real does not matter though, if they did not like your comment siding with their views it would not usually be posted.
This new update is not good the advertisement are too big and take away from the reading,the update is also very choppy on my phone. Over all I liked the old version better if I had to do it again I would have never updated. I also think the original color was better its the Edmonton Journal color, it stands out and you know its the journal you are reading. But in the end it does not matter what color your information comes in
Slow to load, froze at one point in time when looking at an article. I have an older iPhone (4s) and this update is horrid on it. Will probably delete it if it doesnt stabilise.
