How to get the most out of the Journal Sentinel app
From critically acclaimed storytelling to powerful photography and engaging videos, our Journal Sentinel app provides local news that’s customizable and delivered fast.
The Journal Sentinel app is free to download and includes a sampling of free articles. Subscribers can log in for unlimited access.
Here's how to use the app, and what you can get from it.
DOWNLOAD THE APP: Get the latest news, sports and more
Enjoy a Fast, Streamlined App Experience
Our app's streamlined, fast-loading experience makes it easy to view the day's top news and the stories, photos and videos you're most interested in.
Find the Latest News
Access our in-depth journalism, including our investigations, things to do around town, sports coverage from high school to the Packers, Brewers and Bucks, and much more in our easy-to-use app.
You can also easily catch up on the news you missed while you were away — tap on the blue "catch up" bar on the app's Top Stories page and the app will display the most-read stories published since your last visit to the app.

Customize Your Reading
With the Journal Sentinel app, you can:
Save a story to read later by tapping the bookmark icon, which appears near the headline on article pages and on section pages. Stories you save will appear on the app's Saved page.
Adjust the text size on individual stories by tapping the "Aa" button at the top of the story, then using the slider to adjust.
Read with Night Mode (a dark background and bright text) by adjusting your settings (found by tapping the gear icon at top of the Top Stories, Popular and Sections pages).
Read even when you're offline by tapping Offline Reading on the settings page, then tapping "update all sections." This will download content to your app so you can read when cell service is spotty or your phone is in Airplane Mode.
Get News Alerts
Get notified about breaking news, traffic alerts, sports scores, weather and more in real time through the app.
Visit the app’s settings to choose which notifications to receive. You can also schedule "quiet time" — hours of the day that we won't send you alerts.
Want alerts about specific topics or people? Tap the "Add Topic +" button at the top of any story to be alerted every time we publish a story on that topic.
