The Architects’ Journal (AJ) app brings UK architecture news, regulatory updates and building reviews to phones and tablets. AJ says everything in the app is free to read until 8 October; its announcement does not specify a cutoff time or time zone.
What the AJ app offers
AJ describes the app as a destination for architecture professionals and students, with material extending beyond news. Its store listings describe:
- UK architecture news, regulatory updates and building reviews, including technical drawings and image galleries.
- Selected competitions and articles organized by area of interest.
- Magazines, project data and construction details.
- Podcasts, saved articles and notifications about new content.
Google Play’s product description says project data and technical drawings cover thousands of projects. That is the listing’s own product claim, not an independently verified count.
How long is reading free?
AJ’s announcement says everything in the app is free to read until 8 October. It does not state the year in the announcement, the precise time the offer ends, or the applicable time zone. The available information also does not set out full eligibility terms or explain what access will look like after the offer.
