An ‘enhanced’ app that failed
What a worthless app. At least three times a week, the newspaper fails to load, or insists that I am not logged in just after I have logged in yet again. When it does ‘work’, it is hard to navigate. I keep setting page view preferences and they randomly change to a different view, sometimes in a single session. Bring back the old app, please!

“Improvements” gut Functionality
TLDR: Avoid this app and get Albuquerque Jrnl Print Edition instead.
Before the app was “improved” a couple of weeks ago, it was a joy to use. It was easy to pan and zoom the reproductions of the pages from the paper. If I briefly left the app then returned, it would still be on the page I left it on. I never had any problems with getting logged out whenever I changed networks. Now it’s just the opposite and it has become unnecessary strenuous to read my local paper.
It is a travesty this obviously bug-ridden update was even written at all. Maybe the Journal thinks they can get away with this being the only game in town. Shame.
Protip: I just discovered another app called “Albuquerque Jrnl Print Edition.” It works just like the old version of this app did. Get that one and forget this one ever existed.

Production
It would seem that when your job is to put out the paper everyday you would have a quality control plan in place to review what you produce. No need to proof read just review to make sure the paper is complete. If the paper was only screwed once every 6 months it would be acceptable but every day is an adventure when I try to download. Well at least Garcia automotive should be happy they always get one or two ads in what ever you produce. I wrote this months ago and it just gets worse. Today can’t get the ejournal sends me to resign in but won’t accept my password. I read the journal for the local news and sports as I have for over 50 years but like so many others I know we are considering canceling or subscription.

Horrible new app
It routinely fails to load the current edition and the user interface is much, much worse. You often have to close the app to change pages or articles and I KNOW how to use it.
Doesn't work
Hangs up. Page selection doesn't work. Difficult to swipe pages right and left. Text zooms without warning. Awkward to use.
