.

### 1/5 — Publication fine App awful

*2023-10-13*

Fix the frickin app guys.  Half the stories won’t even open when I click on them.  It’s been this way for around a year now.

### 2/5 — Love the CBJ but app is buggy

*2023-07-13*

Links to stories often don’t work within the app. Typically just every other story or so. Odd.

### 2/5 — Love the CBJ but app is buggy

*2023-06-12*

Links to stories often don’t work within the app.  Typically just every other story or so.  Odd.

*2021-01-15*

The journal is well written by highly respected and reliable journalists. It is an excellent source of information.

### 3/5 — Time to Improve

*2021-01-12*

I like HT but Publix’s bakery and food prep area is so much better. Time to improve.

### 1/5 — No printing capabilities?

*2020-05-09*

I can’t print an article for my binder?!? WTH?

### 3/5 — Too many sign ins

*2019-05-11*

If you have an account and are signed into the app, you still have to sign in again to read certain articles.  That’s an annoying time waster.

### 3/5 — Zoom and clarity need some love

*2015-03-24*

I read the CBJ almost exclusively on the iPad. 
Unfortunately, this app STILL not fully supporting the retina display.

### 5/5 — Great
