User Reviews

Users praise the Houston Business Journal app for its depth and relevance to Houston business, entrepreneurs, and civic leaders. However, multiple reviews note instability (crashes, can't open, glitches), poor data persistence (retyping subscriber info), an outdated user experience, and disruptive pop-ups. When functioning, it remains a valued source with inserts and portable access, making it a must-have for some readers despite ongoing issues.
Pros
  • Provides in-depth, timely coverage of Houston business news and events
  • Viewed as a must-have for business readers and entrepreneurs
  • Keeps users up to date with Houston happenings, even from afar
  • Includes special inserts and portable, journal-like content
Cons
  • Frequent stability issues: app crashes, won't open, or is glitchy
  • Re-entering subscriber information on every use
  • Outdated, non-user-friendly interface; needs modernization
  • Intrusive pop-ups/ads (gift-card offers) disrupt reading

The app is very glitchy at the moment, and every time I re-download the app it is showing me that it is on airplane mode, and the app is not functioning properly at all. I’ve downloaded the app and deleted the app numerous times, and it is showing me on airplane mode. The app is not working guys. Can you please fix it thank you.

Despite being a weekly, HBJ provides in-depth insight into news and events that keep business, entrepreneurs as well as civic and municipal leaders informed. It’s a must have for those in the business of learning and growing. Alvin Wright, Alvin Wright Communications

This publisher needs to get 21st century technology. It’s totally un-user-friendly and confusing. Modernize please!
