Comments on The Star-Ledger for Android

★★★★★ Daniel Nowicki · Nov 2, 2023

I love The Star-Ledger! They recently updated the app, and it's even smoother than before. Jumping from article the article is easy and the update edition is really great!

★★★★★ Whole Cloth · Feb 4, 2025

Provides the inside scoop for Jersey natives.

★★★★★ Michael Craver · Feb 18, 2025

The Ledger is going a nice job with the app/web based version. Though I'm still sad about losing the print version. Sign of the times.

★★★★☆ Tommy61 NJ · Jan 13, 2026

Great to read local, state and national news without the pop-up ads the downfall is the cost

★★★★★ Kathleen Pearlman · Jul 15, 2024

I loved it when I lived in Jersey. I'm not going to renew my subscription. I live in another state.

★★☆☆☆ Jane Miller · Feb 12, 2025

Reading the Star Ledger on the app is a terrible experience. If there is no print edition (which I really miss), then format it like a website. I will likely cancel my subscription if it doesn't improve.

★☆☆☆☆ Lawrence Jansen · Jul 22, 2022

Every time I open the app, I need to download the app AGAIN! WHY?? Maybe I don't need this newspaper.

★☆☆☆☆ greg ciggelakis · Jan 5, 2025

App is terrible. Two weeks in a row app does not download daily print. Subscriber to Newark Star Ledger for past 30 yrs and have continued to watch decline of this once proud newspaper

★☆☆☆☆ Ruben Gomez · Dec 25, 2024

I do not like the new app at all! I have been a subscriber of The Star-Ledger for decades, the old app was fine they should have left it alone. The new app goes into landscape mode on me for no reason, makes reading difficult on my phone, plus I don't like how they eliminated at the top of the screen the tabs where you can easily go to the different sections of the newspaper, and specially on Sunday, like going from the opinion section, to the sports section to the update section. Bad job!
