Repeat

There just isn’t enough news in Fresno…the stories seem to repeat a lot. It is so expensive I probably will not renew my subscription again . If it were a couple hundred a year…yes but not four or five hundred to read it on my iPad.

Storage hog

The program uses a huge amount of storage on my iPad. The settings and FAQs do NOT provide guidance on how to minimize this problem.

Paying for subscription

Yet they won’t let me read anything after I sign in.

How to lose subscribers

I have subscribed to the bee for decades with both delivery and the app. Eventually I went to just the app as rates kept rising. With their latest update on the app it became a nightmare to navigate while they bragged how great it was. And it used to be. But now, when you open the app it opens to the last day you read it with no way to go to the current day. For that you have to type Fresno Bee in the address bar. Thus the app is useless.

And they’ve increased the price and the content is coming from other news suppliers, and there are fewer local stories. Why bother? Don’t. I’m going to cancel my subscription and just stop reading it after having read it every day for 67 years.

Getting worse

It used to be when their web site would sign me in but still cover everything with a nag screen i could use the app. Well no more. Stories seem to load them blip righ back to the main screen.

Enjoy the content, but

There is a frequent issue I am having where if I read an article long enough, I get kicked back to the homepage.

Not ideal, especially if the article is buried in another section of the app.

why isn't

Fix the app - can’t read an entire article

This app is terrible. More often than not I can not get through reading an entire article without it closing the article. When I click it again it immediately closes. I’m trying to support local news but how can I when I can’t read it? Please fix the app

Updated App, updated review

Versions pre-9.0 were good. Versions 9.0-9.1 were buggy and unusable. Updates make it work, so far. I preferred the pre-9 version for the way non-eEdition was displayed and scrolled through news stories, to the post 9.1 version.

App crashes

The app doesn’t open. I would like to read the paper I’ve paid for!!!

New version keeps crashing

I pay around $15 monthly only to have this app continually crash. The Fresno Bee is already bleeding money and if this keeps happening they will lose the income from the app as well. Fix it ASAP.

New version crashes

Although I like the new format that just came out, it repeatedly crashes, even after several reinstalls. Very frustrating.

Glitchy and frustrating

Seems like there has been a recent update. Suddenly the feed is repetitive, loading is slow, and crashes are common. Please get it together!

love the pza.hate dominos app.

New App Crashes

The new updated app keeps crashing. Still duplicates the same news stories next to each other. Is this to fill space? Letters to the editor are not updated, some are weeks old. Used to be able to make comments , seems to have been taken away.

Awful Update

I HATE the update to this app so much that I’m seriously considering cancelling my subscription.l altogether. The app repeats the same stories over and over, and it’s impossible to navigate. Also, I can no longer read Fresno Bee stories on Flipboard; instead I’m re-routed back to the Fresno Bee App. So infuriating!!
