  • So what's the deal?

    Are only the first few lines of a story free and you have to pay for the rest? No real reason for this app now.

    Update: App works great now, no issues.
  • Californian needs help

    Only get pictures and one or two lines of the story
    This app needs serious help
  • App not working properly

    I am unable to read articles. Just get title or
    First sentence only examples. Herb Bentham or Bakersfield observed by R Beene
  • Local News

    TBC does a decent job of brining you local (Bakersfield and Kern County) news, sports, and other local items in a timely fashion.

    I haven't had any crashes or problems with the app.

    Thanks for a job well done,

  • Great

    Love getting local news updates!
  • Pretty good!

    The Californian's desktop website is awful, but the app isn't bad at all. It works well on my iPhone 5s. Clean and simple interface with very few crashes.
  • News at its best

    I love this app. I get up to date and breaking news notifications on my phone letting me know what is happening around Kern co and nearby locations.
  • The app

    Not a bad app. Helps me stay informed with my work schedule.
  • More Ads than Articles

    The app looks nice from screenshots, but once you download it, you quickly realize how unusable it is. The ads are inline with the articles, and at first glance they look identical. There are just as many ads as articles, and there just isn't that much content on the landing page.

    This app needs to be updated for higher resolution phones, it looks like its made for the iPhone 4.

  • I've waited and waited, and I'm still waiting

    While the app could be called news, the UI is clunky.
    The app doesn't support the larger screens found on the 6 & 6 Plus. I use a Plus and it feels like the remote my Grandma had with the big buttons. This makes the ad, you can't get rid of, on the bottom even more annoying. How many times do I need to see Kate Upton's chest to sell me Game of War? I don't want to be your hero.
    There is ads between stories. There is ads at the bottom. Hell, the app even started up with an ad that filled the whole screen.
    The more I write, the more I think this doesn't even deserve 3 stars. I'm going to change it until they can actually make an app that functions.

    But it do has news. So I gess it be good for some folks.
