Frustrating to Use

Despite being subscribed for some time the app shows a pop up asking me to subscribe several times every time I use it.
NOT “All Access”

iOS app is OK, reasonably easy to navigate. The content leans hard left and is too often PR for Governor Murphy (not a surprise), but the major fail is that if you sign up with Apple, you will not have access from non-Apple platforms like a Windows laptop. Multiple attempts to sign in from Windows with my Apple subscription fail. Any “subscriber only” content I want to reed must be opened in the phone app. Not sure how that fits with a subscription called “All Access.” Even forwarding NJ.com emails that welcomed me as a subscriber elicited the response that no subscription was associated with that email. Borderline scam.

Certain events in high school sports are covered exclusively on NJ.com. Every time I sign up and pay for subscription well ahead of time and then when time comes to use it I can never get into live feed pages and tells me I need to pay for subscription even tho I am signed in under account I already paid for!!!!

Recently subscribed but every time I entered my user name and password it kept saying incorrect although I could log in on one desktop based browser. Also appeared like my one year subscription was tied to a single browser on a single desktop.
Don't know if anyone else has had these issues. This is an example of negative data, meaning nj.com or others could never assess the true cost of losing interested customers to these problems since they have no way to know who didn’t subscribe.
Only reason I gave 2 stars instead of one is that the widget still gives updates, and I won’t say the significance of that.
Obviously it’s nj.com’s loss not mine losing a paying customer. Somehow I suspect this might have to do with ad blockers or some other kind of ridiculous requirements like cookies or other intrusions that have gotten way out of hand with companies relying on advertising dollars.
Another small example of the fall of humankind on earth due to its stupidity.
Ad Loads Kill Performance

If you want an app that loads like a webpage over a 56k modem, this is for you! And you have to pay to access the content!?! I don’t know what happened here, it wasn’t like this previously, but it’s unusable for me.
NOT WORTH IT

This app is not worth the subscription of $99. annually. It constantly freezes or closes. Do some serious meaningful updates to this app. You are begging for subscribers, but deserve none.

I tolerate it because it’s local news. However, anything they view as possibly interesting is placed behind a “pay-wall” and the App constantly freezes my, up-to-date and 90% empty, iPad. Extremely frustrating.
