Comments on TheJournal.ie News for Android

★★★★★ Sanela Kruskic · Nov 23, 2023
Great app, and it makes me very happy that the comment sections are closed on most of the articles because people don't know how to be civil anymore. Some comments are very disgusting to read. Well done Journal 👏 ✔️
★★★★☆ Ciaran Dunne · Jan 2, 2025
Relevant news stories and current topical issues.
★☆☆☆☆ Kieran Murphy · Dec 21, 2023
Poor quality journalism. Readers comments are now blocked presumably because they shine a light on the shortcomings. It used to be a good app.
★☆☆☆☆ Del Boy · Oct 1, 2023
Pity can't comment from email address as not a Facebook or Twitter user. App is gone e to the pits has comments off on most stories. Then the 42 app a joke had to delete it as you had to pay to read any sort of article
★☆☆☆☆ Philip Swan · Nov 28, 2023
Most articles are closed to comments now thanks to wokeness and zero freedom of speech. Oh but they'll say something nasty. That's free speech, journal posts terribly one-sided "news" but will not allow comments on most articles anymore.
