  1. 4/5Great for most part

    I’ve been using the Lubbock A-J app for a number of years. Since I know longer live in the area where I grew up, I enjoy keeping up with local news, the obituaries, sports, and comics. Most of the time, the app works great. Occasionally, I have to reinstall it. Sometimes the Sunday Comics don’t appear. I especially enjoy the articles written by Don Williams and Nathan Giese along with the USA Today sports’ writers.

  2. 2/5Frustrating app

    I have used this app for keeping up with the Lubbock and surrounding area news since I moved out of town in 2012, along with the obits. I can’t even count how many times I get kicked out and have to completely start over from the beginning to find where I was and try again, only to have it happen all over again. Today it shut down completely four.. yes FOUR times, while I was trying to read the obit of a friend, I’m TOTALLY FRUSTRATED with this app! The app has been updated and format is much nicer, but that doesn’t help if you keep getting shut down. Also, when you find an obit that you need to go into to read the entire thing, this app won’t let you go back to the page where you were... NO, you have to go back to the beginning of the obituaries and start all over again! The really frustrating part about this is that it has been this way since 2012 to my knowledge (maybe longer)...there is no excuse for this not being changed for such a long period of time! I gave it only 2 stars, simply because the app has been updated improving a few other matters... but that’s probably 2 stars too many!

  3. 3/5Stalls

    I know used to enjoy the E newspaper more than I do now. Maybe I don’t know how to operate the revised version. I don’t know. I read my paper on my iPad every morning, and when I want to change to the next page, sometimes it just takes me back to the front and I have to hunt for the page and that’s not good. also sometimes it’ll freeze on the page for a long time and then it’ll start going and I have the fastest Suddenlink Internet. There is so I don’t know. I never had this problem before the revision. Nonetheless, I get the paper read every morning with struggles, but he gets done.

  4. 5/5Enjoyed

    I grew up in Lubbock area and now live in Houston. I have enjoyed reading the A-J since I was a Teenager. With the online paper I am still able to keep up with the Lubbock and surrounding news. You guys do a great Jon!

  5. 5/5Great local news

    I do like reading the Lubbock AJ on my tablet. Love the local stories and sports. Alex Driggars, Nathan Giese and Don Williams always have local stories that are worthwhile and newsworthy. Keep up the good work.
