The “No, You Can’t” app

Why even HAVE an iOS app when:
You can’t zoom
You can’t select text smaller than a paragraph, either to look up words or make notes to follow up. Little value unless you have a tablet.
Not likely to renew my subscription.

Bug fixes needed

The AJC is a reliable and fair news source for metro Atlanta. Sometimes I feel like my subscription ought to buy a little more than the 3-4 articles a day that seem to get posted some days, but I’ll look past that.

A good chunk of my rating here comes from a bug I reported over two months ago that has still not been fixed. The app cuts off the final sentence of some paragraphs so that you can’t tell the full content. Support acknowledged the bug in mid-July, and across multiple releases since then I have heard nothing more. It’s time to fix the problems you know you have!

Where's the SEARCH function?!!

Who signed off on launching this app without a SEARCH function?!? It is absolutely maddening to not be able to search for articles I've read before or that someone suggests I read. As an app, it is well organized and easy to navigate, but the lack of a SEARCH function earns it one-star in my book.

No Zoom, No Search

Why sell content if you don’t satisfy the curiosity it engenders? You can’t even switch between portrait and landscape to get a slightly bigger view. The annoyance is overtaking the value.

Very frustrating

The Gold Standard of apps is WSJ. This AJC app is terrible [or maybe it’s their support]! I give up-as a new subscriber and multiple efforts with their support team, I now give up! They simply cannot help me get full screen display on my 13” iPad. The results make reading near impossible plus navigating is a nightmare. They need to trash this app and start over! I’m asking for my subscription fee to be refunded.
