I hop an iPad version is coming soon. ### 1/5 — Poor redesign *2016-11-05* The sole purpose of the app was to force subscriptions to read local news. No thanks! ### 1/5 — iPad or iPhone? *2016-11-01* I can't believe this went from an iPad-formatted app to a phone-formatted, portrait-only app!?! ### 1/5 — Subscription Only? *2016-10-14* Well we all knew sooner or later this would happen, but at least the old app let you read 3 stories or so. Now only subscribers can read articles. Been fun while it lasted IBJ. ### 2/5 — Great content, bad app *2024-06-20* The content on IBJ itself is great and I’ve subscribed for years. But the app itself is really not good. Photos are always morphed and elongated since they aren’t formatted properly for mobile, and it will randomly log you out regularly. ### 2/5 — Pretty basic fixes *2020-05-05* 1) include a “search” function within the app 2) enable side of the screen “swiping” functionality to go back ### 3/5 — Needs updating badly *2018-01-22* The screen is terribly small and designed for what looks to be the iPhone 4S format. Should be updated for all current screen sizes so that it’s not useable. For a publication trying to keep up in a digital world, they aren’t doing a very good job. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
