Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 12+

Good, for A Gannett Paper

The MJS has been a conscience of Wisconsin voters and a much needed watchdog of local and state government. A defender of open records laws when the GOP in Madison continually tried to slip one past the electorate (and called them out when they lied about it). Investigations into topics like alcohol related traffic deaths (certainly rankling the powerful Tavern League lobbyists) and suspicious deaths at all-inclusive Mexican resorts have been outstanding, among others. My worries that their sale to Gannett would weaken their mission have largely been unfounded, so far. But I'm still watching closely. Excellent sports coverage, even with the retirement of the legendary Bob McGinn.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (MJS) is like family

Our neighborhood BookClub recently completed a book, This Tender Land by author William Kent Krueger, which received a thumbs up from all 10+ members. This entertaining and sometimes heart-wrenching book spun tales that incorporated facts of its time, and in the ending, wrapped up characters together in a satisfying way, as does the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Like the main character, Odie (short for Odysseus) MJS is the narrator of our local family stories; MJS scribes events and
our journey-sometimes joyful, tender, but bitter too—offering to teach, enrich, share sorrow-a touchstone of the familiar. As we collectively long for the days when everything was local and familiar, times change; life has become bigger, broader and more global. Despite the new distance, I for one am appreciative of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinels ability to write stories that provide a sense of home-like a friend. Like family.

Much improved!

This is the app we've been waiting for. Much cleaner and more attractive than the last DoApp app. Unlike the last app, the nav buttons (arrows) work the first time you touch them.

4/1/23 update.

The app seems very jumpy while scrolling through news stories/sections. One seemingly innocent tap send you back to the top of the news section. Scroll all the way down to where you were and at times you jump back up a section or two. It seems like the ads are causing this, especially if it’s a video ad. In addition if I am an existing subscriber, why am I getting full screen pop-ups asking me to subscribe? Overall not a smooth experience with this app. I shouldn’t have to fight the app to see what I want etc.
