### 5/5 — Love insight

*2023-08-31*

PBJ is my go to every single morning. As a sales consultant based here, it's a must read in keeping up with our city' business doings.

### 5/5 — Best local info needed by everyone

*2019-12-19*

We all need to know most of the info published here.

### 1/5 — Horrible App - Terrible User Interface

*2017-10-26*

Basically you can do two things:

1. View a pdf version of the print edition. This is useless at worst and annoying at best on a mobile device, who wants to expand and move the page around and over to read an article? The content for a particular addition should have headlines that you can tap on it and then read the article in a “reader view.”

2. Click on one of three (but not all that appear to be available via emails subscribers receive), which opens up to the same webpage you would click to from your email. Then you have to login again although you are already in the app that knows you’re subscribed. The double login is a complete roadblock to being able to enjoy content via mobile device.

Conclusion: if you want to enjoy your very expensive subscription must do so via print version or on your computer where you can have your browser memorize your credentials so you don’t have to login every time to read an article.

### 5/5 — Great source of PDX info

*2011-10-09*

Easy on the go info for Pdx business.  Quick app & easy to read and share.

### 4/5 — Good view of PDX biz news

*2009-09-25*

Not perfect, but very good summary of news impacting Portland businesses. I look forward to seeing how they evolve the app in the future.

### 3/5 — Good snapshot of business

*2009-07-02*

Gives you access to headline stories. Not the best app, i.e. When you click the back button there is no indication that the touch was successful. Still, it's easy to use and keeps you up to date on local business.
