5/5It’s Not Possible
If you are doing business in the Greater Baltimore and not reading the Baltimore Business Journal each week you are not operating at full capacity. News, names, developments, updates, it is all there. BBJ is a must read for the management team at Let’s Eat, a Baltimore-based mobile food pantry system.

Great app!! Free local business news. No other source provides this kind of content on the iPhone. Who cares that there's a subscribe now banner?? It's free!!

2/5Mobile view is trash
I cant see the whole page of the article I want to read. I bought a subscription and i cant read the issues, that I paid for on my iphone. First the page selection bar blocks half of the page. Second you cant scroll. I should get half off of my subscription because I can only read half of the page.
