Someone please save Birmingham

Once again the Birmingham area is forced to deal with an incompetent company providing a horrible way to get local news and information. This app is hard to maneuver, crashes, and the information is a day late. Why can't I just get a paper like experience digitally? I wish some company would come in with a daily local paper and publish it seven days a week...HELP! SOS!

Updated app confusing to use and crashes

Once again The Birmingham News has introduced a new version of its digital paper app and unleashed a useless app.

The app is very hard to navigate. It should allow you to move from one section to another and back again, but once you try and go to back to a previous section, the section is blank.

If there is an embedded YouTube video as part of a story, it dominates the screen with no way to minimize or eliminate it.

Come on Birmingham News, can't we get an app that works well?

Zero stars

Because I live in this town, and don't want to recycle a paper, I keep my subscription current hoping the company will fix the app. The Bham News needs to do the right thing and credit existing subscribers whenever they do fix this app or create a new one. This is fraud. It should be reported. The saddest part is that the technology exists for this app to work, but The Bham News can't seem to harness the wherewithal to engage this issue.

Doesn't work

The app will not let me sign in...it says my login info is incorrect, but it isn't. I can log in on my computer so it is definitely the app. I have emailed the News asking for help but never got a response. The app used to work well but if I can't log into my account it is just worthless...no stars for this app. Please get this fixed!!!

Birmingham News App

This App is terrible. Will not stay open constantly drops. I want my money back.
I want to give it zero stars but it forces me to give it one. Hope the BNews staff realizes people will not continue to subscribe if the
App does not function.

Never Works

App never works, needs to be fixed for paying customers!!!

App has to be deleted and reinstalled each time before use

The application has gotten so unstable that it will not last any longer than one session. When I try to open it, it cycles between the Edition Section and the current Front Page, unable to load either.

I order to use it, I have to delete it each time, reinstall, sign in and open. Then, it's only good for one use.u

Doesn't work well at all

I'm a Sunday news subscriber. And the only way I can use the app is to uninstall and reinstall before each use.

Otherwise, it keeps refreshing the editions screen.
