## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Needs an update for iOS 18, iPhone 16 Pro

*2024-10-01*

App crashes immediately when trying to open.

### 1/5 — Lazy

*2019-02-28*

The user interface is ugly and unappealing, the constant downloading of new issues is annoying, and the whole app feels like it was a lazy attempt to put together an app. SBJ can do much better

### 1/5 — New app is a failure

*2018-02-01*

They claim they updated the app to make it more compatible with the website redesign but it won’t let you log in. The new web design is screwed up too (can’t view back issues of Morning Buzz/Closing Bell), so I would say don’t update the app, but it won’t work in the old iteration so just be prepared to not be able to use it.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2014-04-15*

Awful app.

### 1/5 — Just read the email version

*2014-03-12*

This app adds nothing to the content and in fact further limits the sharing of content.  Just keep reading the email version.

### 1/5 — Opens.... Then nothing

*2014-01-14*

App opens but does nothing beyond beyond home screen.

### 1/5 — Crashes!

*2013-12-23*

Can't open as it crashes upon opening! Fix it please!!

### 1/5 — Won't Start

*2013-12-03*

Crashes upon startup, please fix!!!

### 3/5 — Easy to read, nice layout

*2013-09-19*

Overall I like the convenience of this app. It's easy to see all the articles, I much prefer this to the web version (I don't get the print version so I'm not sure how it looks).
Lower than 4 or 5 stars because I wish that there was a way to save or star or email articles from the app.

### 5/5 — Works as advertised

*2025-01-31*

It does what it says it does very well.

## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Step in the Right Direction

*2024-04-05*

Huge improvement over the previous app - still some kinks that need worked out but hoping for future updates with more features. Love the dark mode!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2024-04-05*

The revamped SBJ is great! I get to experience the best parts of my All Access subscription right at my finger tips. Probs to SBJ on this one.

### 5/5 — Major upgrade

*2024-03-26*

Great to see SBJ improve the design of their app. The clean layout delivers an easier way for me to access my daily sports biz news. Eventually would be great to be able to save articles, but overall this update was overdue.

### 5/5 — Much better!

*2024-03-26*

The latest app makes a huge difference for navigating SBJ’s content. It’s much cleaner and loads faster.
