Nice, but if you have a printed edition account...
It doesn't work. The app forces you to purchase a subscription via iTunes. While it is painless, this is a charge on top of what you are already paying for. My account online which says it is enabled, will not work. That is stupid, since I am already paying for it, and I don't get. Otherwise the app work great.

App does not work
Waste of money
Do not buy. I bought it with a 6 month subscription. Cannot get it to download a paper. B'ham News supports says contact Apple. Apple says contact the B'ham News. I'm out the money I spent. Cheated. BTW, The Birmingham News only comes out three days a week.
Crashes a lot
I like this format but it crashes every few minutes. I have to restart the app 3 or 4 times everytime i read the paper. It is about as reliable as The Birmingham News. Very annoying.
Before this app only crashed on my IPAD I but now it also crashes on my IPADII. WSJ, USA Today and The Washington Post do not crash. I guess this crashing should be expected from a part time newspaper.

Good App but Waiting for Subscription Price Change
I have had minimal problems with crashes when using the app on my iPad. It is as close to reading the real paper as one can get using a tablet. My primary problem with it is the subscription price for a month is $10 (plus $1 tax) but the News doesn't seem willing yet to cut this price at least in half now that the print edition is coming out only three days a week. I am dropping my e-subscription until the pricing is changed. Reading the news on my iPad just isn't worth $11 a month for a three-times-a-week newspaper.

Not as listed
This app was listed as a free app. I downloaded it and then found out I couldn't use it without purchasing a weekly subscription. After deleting the app from my iPad I went back to the listing and found hidden at the bottom of the screen something that said the desktop version had a charge.
I have two questions:
1. Why was that information not in a very prominent place rather than being underneath the arrow and then down at the bottom of the page?
2. Why is it listed in the app store as a free install?

Horrible
Downloaded this app and it has crashed 3 times before I could get through the paper. Took forever to download for amount on content.
Crashes all the time
I enjoy reading the paper with this app but it repeatedly crashes when I try to read the paper with it; just this morning it crashed four times in less than 30 minutes of use. It's a lovely app otherwise but its inherent instability makes it as useful as a new Mercedes with four flat tires - nice to look at but utterly useless.

Prices not as advertised...
The description lists the subscription prices as the following:
1 week: $3.99
1 month: $14.99
6 months: $29.99
Once you open the app, however, subscription prices are shown as
1 week: $2.99
1 month: $9.99
6 months: $59.99
I thought the price structure in the description seemed a little odd, but this is misleading and needs to be corrected.

Can't log on
I have had this app for over a month and still have not been able to log on. I call that stealing. I have talk to customer service and they told me to act like I'm purchasing it again ( will not charge me, it didn't ) and it will prompt me to restore it. I did that, and it still did not work. I now have emailed them and we will see how long it takes for them to respond and get it resolve. I know they won't refund you. Anyone reading this......SAVE YOUR TIME and YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE. They need to have it right before trying to do something that's obviously out of their league!
