## Description

AJC News, from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, is a responsive news app that delivers in-depth local and national coverage, real-time alerts, and personalized content. It offers multiple navigation modes, searchable sections, and options for mobile-friendly reading or the ePaper experience.

Users can create article playlists to listen in the background, watch the latest news videos, explore podcasts, and even enjoy puzzles or games for downtime. Subscriptions are managed through Apple with auto-renewal terms and privacy policies clearly outlined.

## Review summary

Users praise the app for its clean navigation and solid coverage, with readability improvements on iPad. However, recurring issues dampen the experience: ads and paywalls gate much of the content; the ePaper is inconsistent or hard to access; the app loses your place when you switch apps and makes saving or sharing articles unreliable; and many dislike the new format and layout, including intrusive top banners. Addressing these would improve reader retention.

### Pros

- Clean, easy to navigate interface
- Informative reporting with strong local/national coverage and sports
- Readable on iPad with adjustable font size
- Puzzles/Arts & Entertainment content appreciated by some users

### Cons

- Intrusive ads and paywalls gating content
- ePaper accessibility issues on iPad and with the new format (not current edition, difficult to access, losing reading position)
- Reading progress not retained when switching apps (returns to front page)
- Unable to save, bookmark, or email articles reliably
- New format/layout criticized and heavy ad interruptions
