5/5Love insight
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.

1/5Horrible App - Terrible User Interface
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.

5/5Best local info needed by everyone
We all need to know most of the info published here.

5/5Great source of PDX info
Easy on the go info for Pdx business. Quick app & easy to read and share.

3/5Good snapshot of business
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.
