I can read it at home or on the road and not miss out. It is affordable too. ### 5/5 — Avalanche Journal *2022-06-22, version 3.3.14* Excellent format, easy to read and love the USA Today bonus. MarkJudson ### 3/5 — Horrible customer service *2022-05-15, version 3.3.14* I like the paper when it will open properly. However I hate your customer service. I cannot understand a one of them. ### 5/5 — Avalanche-Journal *2022-05-04, version 3.3.14* The e-AJ is better than the printed version, to my surprise! The e-AJ boasts additional sections that are not offered in the printed paper! I read the e-AJ on my iPhone without a problem! You need to try it y’all! ### 5/5 — Enjoy the AJ app *2022-04-19, version 3.3.14* As the great age of newspapers fad into history, this app links us to the very thin line of a very reporters serving our community. Today’s paper is a shadow of its former self, and we can all see the end approaching, this application allows us, and will allow us to delay the inevitable for as long as possible. ### 5/5 — Great Paper *2022-04-15, version 3.3.14* Great town, great paper. Only downside is USA Today sneaking in their biased content. ### 5/5 — Very Easy to Navigate *2022-04-10, version 3.3.14* I love tho app, it is so easy to use and I can catch it on the go from anywhere, anytime. This is a great news paper and it doesn’t push political biases like others do! Greatest paper in West Texas at a fair price! It works excellent online and easy to navigate. ### 5/5 — Much better *2022-03-14, version 3.3.14* Much better that before the update. I was about to cancel due to the full page ads that would pop up randomly/repeatedly while trying to read an article. Have decided to stay.;-) ### 5/5 — Information good *2022-03-10, version 3.3.14* Information good ### 2/5 — Obnoxious *2021-12-17, version 3.3.14* This app is obnoxious. 1) Why must it tell me every single morning that I’m not connected to a wifi network. I know this already. 2) why do you not just open to the front page, why the two pages? 3) if you barely even touch a page, it turns pink and goes to a reading mode type thing. Why? It’s very unnecessary and obnoxious. If there was even a remote alternative, I’d switch. Bu unfortunately I do not have an option. ### 5/5 — Good news *2021-10-16, version 3.3.14* I enjoy that the Lubbock Avalanche Journal prints stories about good events that take place in Lubbock and the surrounding area. We all can obtain national news from many sources, but the A-J is our link to local happenings. ### 5/5 — Happy for access! *2021-10-07, version 3.3.14* I’m out of delivery area! I read the A-J online every morning and print the crossword. ### 5/5 — Lubbock A-J *2021-10-05, version 3.3.14* Easiest newspaper app to read ever! ### 5/5 — AJ reviews *2021-08-29, version 3.3.14* Great way to read the newspaper!! ### 3/5 — CRASHES *2021-08-03, version 3.3.14* This app has always had some problems but since the latest update, it crashes constantly. I am not happy with it anymore. The one star rating is only because I can't submit without a rating. ### 4/5 — Review of electronic newspaper delivery *2021-06-25, version 3.2.63* Most of the time it has been excellent Occasionally there has been glitches where I haven’t been able to upload, but fortunately it has been rare. I was definitely having more problems not receiving my paper edition in spite of multiple complaints and promises. I have now learned to browse through it in my iPad Highly recommend it JRBrothers ### 5/5 — Enjoy *2021-06-09, version 3.2.63* Grew up around Lubbock and still have family there so having this app keeps me in tune with what’s happening on the South Plains as well as Texas Tech. ### 5/5 — Online AJ *2021-04-19, version 3.2.63* I love the app! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad system *2022-01-22, version 3.3.14* Paid for full year and can’t get the service Scam ### 1/5 — Broken 4/18/21 *2021-04-18, version 3.2.63* Does not work 4/18/21 ### 1/5 — Don’t like new format *2021-03-15, version 3.2.63* Not liking the changes. Pages don’t turn easily. Liked the other format better. ### 1/5 — Deceptive Marketing *2019-08-26, version 3.0.2* Signed up and paid in advance for a one year subscription and at the end of the seventh month, was billed for “past due” payments. On calling customer service, was told I’d “automatically” signed up for a “premium account” which meant they’d send me premium issues and those would be deducted from my annual subscription. I never asked for nor received any “premium” products to go along with the deductions from my annual prescription account. Customer service credited back the “premium” deductions for products I’d never ordered or received all the while arguing with me that it was clear in their original billing that unless I opted out, I was opted in. Nowhere on the receipt I printed when I originally ordered was there a single mention of this “premium “ account bs. When my actual one year subscription is up I will not renew. Oh and the paper has very little original local reporting. ### 1/5 — Lubbock A-J Money Grab *2019-06-21, version 3.0.2* Now forced to use this app. Lubbock A-J increased monthly rates by 65%! I guess they are seeing how fast they can go out of business! ### 1/5 — Bad app *2016-12-18, version 3.0.1* The worst ### 1/5 — App Crashes *2013-01-24, version 2.10* Since last update it crashes and directs me to home page on IPad. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Unusable after last update *2013-01-18, version 2.10* Before date, was a bit volatile, throwing me out and back to my iPad (1) home page occasionally. Since the recent update, the app throws me out as soon as I see the newspaper page. Works the same way on my iPad 3. Not happy! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2012-12-09, version 2.8* Had this app for a couple of months. It took over an hour to download new subscriptions and would take several minutes after that to load each page. I could not download the following days paper without first turning my iPad off then back on. The Push setting seemed to never work right, I had to manually update each day. I wish it worked but way too buggy. ### 1/5 — Poor app, slow *2011-12-28, version 2.0* Have tried to load today's newspaper while sitting at Love Field, Dallas. After several attempts, the third waiting for 10 minutes, no success. Plan to try to load again at home, in Lubbock, to see if it is any faster. If not, dumping this poorly designed app. lgh ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Local plus wider news *2023-06-05* The AJ keeps me aware of what is happening in the local area and Texas and gives a good summary of national and world events. ### 5/5 — Very Easy to Navigate *2023-04-13* I love tho app, it is so easy to use and I can catch it on the go from anywhere, anytime. This is a great news paper and it doesn’t push political biases like others do! Greatest paper in West Texas at a fair price! It works excellent online and easy to navigate. ### 5/5 — Pleased with the AJ Online *2023-03-05* I have not taken the paper in years, but I enjoy the online version. Everyone that is not clued into the local news because of cable TV, this is your local FIX. ### 5/5 — Electronic newspaper *2023-03-02* I enjoy each morning being able to read my paper by electronically, especially Saturday since you don’t print one on paper. My etablet goes with me everywhere. ### 5/5 — Great news source *2023-02-21* Great app for local news. Easy to use and enlarge to read easily for all ages. ### 5/5 — What happened! *2023-01-17, version 3.3.14* I loved your app but have a horrible time getting in and we pay for this service! I do not like the changes. ### 5/5 — Electronic newspaper *2023-01-06, version 3.3.14* I enjoy each morning being able to read my paper by electronically, especially Saturday since you don’t print one on paper. My etablet goes with me everywhere. ### 5/5 — Great news source *2022-10-19, version 3.3.14* Great app for local news. Easy to use and enlarge to read easily for all ages. ### 5/5 — AJ paper *2022-09-01, version 3.3.14* It is such a blessing to be able to enlarge the print so I can enjoy the AJ that I have subscribed to for over 60 years. Thank you for this paperless edition. I’m 85 and have very poor eyesight. So you are a blessing for me daily. Anniece Willis. ### 5/5 — Easy *2022-06-28, version 3.3.14* Easy to navigate. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
