So here's my take on The Star-Ledger app. I've tested a bunch of news apps and this one's pretty solid overall. The design is clean and makes it easy to browse articles, and the selection of content is great - you get all the main news plus extras like sports, entertainment, and local features. The in-app subscription also unlocks some nice perks. But it's not without its issues - the ads can get a little annoying, and the overall experience is pretty standard for a news app. Still, if you're looking for a go-to source for New Jersey news, this is worth checking out.

Look, if you’re into reading newspapers on your phone, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – there’s some ads that can get annoying – but overall it does the job of bringing you New Jersey’s top news. Worth checking out if you want to stay informed on what’s happening in the Garden State.
