Ratings and Reviews
Excellent Local Coverage
The local coverage by the ABJ reporters is excellent. They cover relevant topics that provide a real sense of community, in the sense that as a community member, i know what is going on in the local government, in the schools, etc. I recommend the ABJ to everyone I can. I don’t always agree with everything they put out, but i think it is honest and fair. I love learning about restaurants and interesting people who are doing great things in the community.
Worst app on my iPad
I subscribe to the print version of the Beacon but since it is now only printed 6 days and usually is late or not delivered at least one other day I use the app for the enewspaper ..so now on at least the first two sections they start with an ad. Wouldn’t be so bad but sometimes they’re slow to load so I have to wait to dismiss the ad to read that page. If you return to that page after moving on there’s the ad again. At least once a day a page will freeze. Can’t scroll down to continue reading, close the page or move to the next page. Also at times I touch an article to read it and suddenly I’m back multiple pages to the last article I read. I need to close that one again and page forward o the article I was trying to read,,
Bring back the old separate app. It worked.
I miss ABJ
I live in Columbus now and I wish I could get the actual ABJ newspaper here. The Dispatch is BAD, except for the ABJ stories in it. I signed up for ABJ online for 6 months for $1.00. But since I am retired and I now live in HUD-subsidized senior living apartments I will not be able to afford the regular rate after my 6 months end. I have been a ABJ subscriber for many years and I think it is the greatest newspaper ever!
