### 1/5 — Too glitchy

*2024-04-19, version 27.8.0*

I should have to sign in every time I hit a link via social media. Half the time, it does not accept my sign-in information. When I try to hit the links under your columnists’ listing, I get a 404 message. Been that way for years. It’s as if azcentral doesn’t care

*2022-12-09, version 26.12.5*

Today I logged onto the app to see highlights of the Arizona State mens basketball teams latest win. Now 9-1 you might think they would be a highlight. But no, I had scan to the bottom to find their results. 
Passed 5 separate articles on the prisoners swap story. 
Really?
