New update not working

With the new update I have not been able to use the app. It opens to a black page then shuts down.

Great!

Even though I’ve been a snowbird in Polk County for almost ten years, I have learned so much more about the area since starting to read the Ledger! Time and money well spent … especially since we are now Florida residents!!!

Status

I have subscriptions to paper and online. Whenever I log in which I do from the dail email, it either opens or it tells me i dont have account. And wants me to log in using password, which I no longer remember correctly because it wont log me in. One device logs in most the time, the other is hit or miss.

The Ledger is a 1st class Newspaper!

I’ve lived in Miami, Tampa and Atlanta and their newspapers are not any better than the Lakland Ledger! Our local paper is precise, accurate and informative!

Great reporting

The Ledger has a good stable of aggressive and objective reporters. They, alone, deserve five stars. However, the Opinion Director drags the paper down to a three. His editorials are biased and contain many factual inaccuracies.

Unable to access e edition

Despite being a subscriber I am unable to to read the e edition. Ever since the app was updated I have not been able to access the e edition. I have called the Ledger twice but nobody has been able to help.

I appreciate the local articles and professional writing.

Old news

When I open the app, the news is 3 days old. I get an email with new stories but when I open the app I have stories from past issues.

Great change

Now competes on a local basis with apps like Bay News 9. Like having the weather too.

Like breaking in to Fort Knox

This is among the most prohibitive apps I have ever attempted to access. Subscrbing took dozens of attemps, including phone calls, over six days. Now that I have it wants to prevent me from seeing anything and won’t recognize me. It’s a news prevention app.

Problems with app

Every time I pull up a story to read the screen goes blank after about 30 sec. Then it reboots and I have to start all over. Very frustrating and aggravating.

Quite Useful - Still Needs Improvement

The Ledger app works much better than the generic browser app. But, there are a couple of bothers. First, if you rotate the iPhone the item you are reading goes back to the top. Also, the text size seems to revert to the dafault. I would like even a little larger text. The syndicated columns and comics aren't available. that's OK for a free app. I subscribe to the Ledger's eReplica service for the PC and can read the comics and columns in eReplica. Hopefully, a good eReplica app for the iPhone will be coming.

The Ledger

Not the highest quality of journalism since becoming a USA affiliate, but we do get all the print news and, even more importantly, the 4 daily puzzles are excellent.

Unable to sign in to my account

I get an error message every time I tap ‘sign in’ in the settings. I have deleted and reinstalled the app several times with the same result.

Can’t sign in

I have tried multiple times with email chat conversations with Eddie. No help available for signing in for an app that I have had for years

Can’t link account with current subscription.

There is no way to link this app with a current digital subscription. You have pay through iTunes.

Subscription should be ad free

Frustrating to pay for a subscription and still have ads.

App doesn’t work

I open the app on Thursday and can only see the enewspaper from the prior Tuesday. I can find no functionality to get to the Thursday issue.

Non worth it

Stories are repeated day after day. Very little local news. Now I can’t find a way to cancel the subscription!

3 years ago, jtchlo

Will cancel subscription

New app for online viewing is TERRIBLE. It’s impossible to read a single article because of the ads.

3 years ago, Tattoohank

Not reliable

My subscription access comes and goes

Mostly advertising

Little news sprinkled in with countless ads. Subscription to this is wasted money

App is flaky, drops your connection

This app has not been updated regularly and loses connection

Won’t let me in!

I paid for a year in advance, the app confirms this, but won’t let me in!

Several steps backward.

Terrible update. Seems like the Ledger is trying to lose customers.

Great Free App

Just downloaded this app. Easy to use. Did not have to register. Love the Ledger, already a subscriber but this app allows me to take the news with me conveniently. App features allow settings for favorites etc. Thanks for the app.

It’s a local newspaper app without local news

The new update, and the last several tbh, have made this app useless to me. I go to the ledger for LOCAL news. I got to the national news for NATIONAL news. Tell me about our community. I don’t go to the ledger to hear about riots in Europe. I want to know about the house fire around the corner, the community fair in Bartow, the farmers markets around our community. Make local news your focus and I would love this app. As of now? I will probably delete it. Sad way to go out...

Just awful 😠

The new app is a big disappointment. It seems as though the Ledger wanted to make change for change. The new app does not allow moving from article the article as the old App did. It is much more confusing to use than the old app was. It seems as though someone was hired to change the App and did so to justify what they were getting paid. Very disappointed - The old app was not broken – no need to have tried to fix it!

Excellent News Source

Having family and friends who reside in central Florida, I use the Ledger to keep me up to date on everything happening in central Florida. The news is current, accurate and non-opinionated which I find refreshing.

Worst app I have seen

I can barely give this app One star! I am a fully paid annual customer and it continues to tell me that I have read all my free articles. I have to continually close it and re-down load it. Get on the stick Ledger.

Be Truthful

Get with it Ledger! I have paid subscription and digital access registration BUT I cannot read breaking news articles!! Deceptive advertising!

5 years ago, BackJackDoItAgain

Constant Problems

I am continuously getting locked out of my account on my iPad after reading three articles in spite of having a full print subscription. I’ve deleted the app and reloaded it only to get locked out again. Very frustrating.

More content to see

Vastly improved from previous app. And easy to scroll through. I love the update. Nice job.

Almost as good as a paper made out of paper

This is the best way to read the paper since it was printed on dead trees .

13 years ago, FalconFreedom

Good grief

Connection issues, ads are again WAY too intrusive, both at the bottom of the screen and when attempting to read an article. This app is obviously just an advertising vehicle without any regard for readers. Just give me the news. It's off my iPhone.

5 years ago, Chomperdog

Needs work

Reading is cumbersome and approximately once a week the app looses my subscription so it has to be deleted and reinstalled. I like reading the local paper, but it is a pain to deal with.

8 years ago, Atrain300

Awesome update

The new design is easy to read and use. I use this app all the time now.

Slow to load

I would like it better if it had separate sections for national, state and local rather than "top stories". Too many duplicates in various sections.

Ledger online

Huge improvement!

13 years ago, DolFanChic

Won't load

This would be a really great app if I didn't have to constantly delete and reinstall it. After I've used it a few times it stops working. If they can manage to fix this then I'd rate it 5 stars...

Connection issues

Continue to get connection errors on the app, but if I go to the website on my phone it works fine. Just deleted app and reinstalling to see if it helps.
