### 1/5 — Update Stinks

*2019-11-08*

Not sure what you were trying to do, but this update stinks. Used to work fine. Not now.

### 1/5 — App doesn't communicate with web subscription

*2016-07-22*

Downloaded the BBF app and immediately purchased a 1 year subscription through the App Store. Unfortunately the app is unable to link this with their website, so anytime I try to view a subscriber only article I'm blocked unless it's featured on the front page. This has the end result of me clicking on a link in an article to another BBF Article and not being able to see it. Attempted to contact support but haven't gotten an response in over 24 hours. Definitely not worth $100/year subscription fee.
Update: support replied, there is no work around. So any "subscriber only" content on their website isn't accessible to mobile subscribers.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2012-10-11*

This app is better than the website! It has great usability and navigation, along with phenomenal content.

### 2/5 — Almost useless

*2009-08-11*

Far too few stories available. 

It would be nice if subscribers could remove the too-large and bold Subscribe To Paper message at the bottom. 

Navigation features lacking.  The only form of navigation is to scroll either older or newer stories. Then, only 10 stories are available for each date.

Very frequent error message:  "Error connecting to news service. Empty response."

No search tool?!?!
