I like the ABJ's newspaper layout, not as much as in 60s and 70s, it has a clean banner and easy to read flow.

ABJ has taken their "only acceptable" previous app to their -attempted new app which is terrible! Page control icons do nothing and appear to not even been turned on. For a "major" newspaper to exhibit such disconnection from technological advances and roll out this dysfunctional app sheds light on the overall operation and trust in ABJ.

Terrible App Cannot log into it because my original account was created by logging into Facebook, which isn't supported on the app. The app will not allow me to log in using my email address, either, so it's basically useless.
