### 1/5 — Decline of Newspaper

*2026-02-13, version 8.8.0*

This paper no longer covers local events in detail as in the past, mostly because it is no longer in Burlington. No editorials anymore. The left bias is increasing each year.

### 5/5 — Shrinking but grateful

*2026-02-06*

I appreciate the local coverage. The paper is so much less than it was but I am so grateful that we still have it.

### 3/5 — Still a bit clunky, but improved

*2026-01-26*

Latest format is better than the previous one.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thank you for using our app and providing your feedback.  We have resolved the eNewspaper pinch and zoom issue you have identified, and your comments played a part in it.

We care about our readers, and we work very hard to build the best news experience for you. Please email us at USATODAYmobile@USATODAY.com if you are still experiencing any issues. 

Thank you.

### 4/5 — They made the App even worse

*2026-01-10, version 8.6.0*

The old BFP app we've used for years seems to have been replaced by the new do-it-all app for the e-paper and the BFP website. They seem to have tried to combine it and it stinks.

No more easy moving and zooming using what was the e-edition only app this paper originally had.

Our old app stopped working on 9/16/23 and we realized the reason is they've moved to this new app. 

It's so hard to navigate now and jerky in execution as well, ...we'll probably cancel our subscription when it comes up for renewal. 

The old saying of -don't try to fix it if it is working ok- fell on deaf ears for whoever made the decision to implement this new app.

### 5/5 — Becky in VT

*2025-12-17, version 8.6.0*

Thank you for reporting our local and worldwide news!  I read you every day, outstanding! 💗

### 5/5 — Keeps locking up

*2025-12-13*

As I read my enewspaper, the thing keeps locking up about every other day. So I shut my iPad off and start over. Sometimes I delete the app and start over. Never had an issue before this new app showed up. Very dissatisfied.

### 2/5 — Unable to read puzzle section

*2025-12-01, version 8.6.0*

Tried to use print edition app and it does not focus well enough to read parts of puzzle and other pages. Unable to contact BFP on app to get help or support or information.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2025-08-12, version 8.1.0*

Impossible to navigate overseas. Endless loops, error messages, this app is in desperate need of upgrading. When I get back to the states I will look for other options to this app. I hate it

### 5/5 — I enjoy reading the Free Press.

*2025-04-26*

I want to thank the Editors, writers, photographers, and all, for a great job.  I enjoy the FREEPS, on the I-Phone.  I even enjoy the videos.  

Thank you, one & all!

### 4/5 — This app is a pain

*2025-03-29*

The prior app was great. I read this on my IPad - this new app is impossible to just enlarge a photo or an article without enlarging the whole page. And every time I get to a certain section it freezes and I have to close the app and start over. Bring back the old app!
