### 1/5 — Fix it

*2014-03-25, version 4.6.4.0*

It was a decent app until the sections part stopped working now it's just as bad as your paper, this why I only get the Sunday paper!

### 1/5 — Huge Let Down

*2014-03-22, version 4.6.4.0*

Very poor quality, sections have disappeared.  Did you give up?

### 1/5 — Bad

*2014-03-19, version 4.6.4.0*

Bad.  Get it together daily bulletin.  The app is poorly managed and archaic...get with the times.  Provide a decent app for your readers.  Every other news affiliate has.  Why can't you?

### 2/5 — Constantly crashes!

*2014-02-12, version 4.6.4.0*

Crashes all the time!

### 1/5 — Closes all the time

*2014-02-01, version 4.6.4.0*

Very annoying app. Constantly shutting down, tried reopening app multiple times only to have the same problem. I finally deleted it.

### 1/5 — Week to 1 month old news.

*2013-09-29, version 4.6.0.1*

Used to receive Sunday edition only. That was only 1 day old news.  So on phone  the news was good archives, for research.

### 1/5 — Ditch the ads!

*2013-09-27, version 4.6.0.1*

I enjoyed reading the articles, but the recent inclusion of (sometimes VERY offensive) ads is enough to prompt me to delete this app.  This used to be one of my main sources of news... not anymore.

### 1/5 — This app stinks

*2013-08-27*

Not regularly updated. Currently, top news stories are 15 days old. I would like it to read like print edition and be able to go back and read previous editions. This app doesnt have an archive section, and no one is managing the news stories available. Ivdb has gone downhill since it sold to La news corp.  Stories are unavailable 
Half the time. Who built this app, who approved this app, and where is their pride?

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2013-08-20, version 4.4.0.0*

Majority of the stories don't even show up when you click on the headline

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2013-08-18, version 4.4.0.0*

Not sure why they created this app. The content is never updated and at least 4 days old!

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2013-08-18, version 4.4.0.0*

This app is always days old. Deleting it now.! Not worth download.

### 1/5 — Don't bother downloading ..

*2013-04-22*

I was really excited to download this app, as I've been a fan of Daily Bulletin newspaper for years. However, that excitement was short this app is horrible the events update in Ontario Canada area not Ontario California. The job search search function is not easy to navigate and the news updates aren't that great or informative on what's going on close to my community.

### 1/5 — Resident

*2013-03-31, version 4.2.1.0*

Update is horrible , event are in ontario Canada not ontario California it's a loser why even have it I give it one star because that's as low as you can rate

### 1/5 — IVDB

*2013-03-29*

This update is terrible. Liked the previous version much better. Please go back to it. I'd say 0 stars if it were available.

I take the paper and would often like to forward an article to someone. But the specific article is never in the app to send.

### 1/5 — Lazy

*2023-06-29, version 7.6.3*

I thought the Huffington Post was a lazy news source, but this takes the cake.

### 1/5 — Make it More User Friendly

*2022-10-31*

How about a section for politics and one for the arts? And how about a special section for election information so we can make more informed decisions when we vote? And add an option to save, bookmark or favorite articles that we want to return to easily.

### 1/5 — Steve

*2020-12-11, version 7.5.9*

What an awful morning trying to get the paper. Gave up until it's fixed.

### 1/5 — Latest Version Doesn't Work

*2020-06-03, version 7.4.5*

Your latest update no longer works on my older iPad so I can no longer read your topics.

### 1/5 — App is Crap

*2019-10-28*

The “Sections” button doesn’t include the Spotlight, Travel, or Casino sections in today’s Sunday paper! And there is no Search function to find articles in those sections! 

What is going on? Most other newspaper apps have this this version BASIC functionality. Why not yours??

### 1/5 — Not free at all

*2016-10-12, version 6.2.6150*

You need a press account. Not free at all just use google.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2015-05-10*

Any news app will work better than this. Always freezing, tons of ads everywhere, randomly wants you to have some press account. Also it rarely updates, some times there will be no new articles up for over 5 days! Do NOT waste your time with this news source.

### 1/5 — very annoying ads

*2015-04-06, version 6.2.60*

clearly built by amateurs who know nothing about usability. the same ad keeps interrupting you everywhere covering the whole screen rendering the app practically useless. deleted this app after 10 minuted

### 1/5 — Someone need to fix this app

*2014-05-11*

The creators really need to sit down and review this app. I try and read the articles on this app and for no reason it sends me to the App Store after a few seconds. Someone really needs to fix this app.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work!!

*2014-05-02*

This app use to work better before. Now the news articles do not load. Also asking to sign in on several articles. I'm deleting this app.

### 5/5 — John Phillips column

*2024-11-18*

What day of the week do you carry John Phillips column? He has always been one of my favorites. Why do I keep missing him?

### 5/5 — Works nicely as a mobile app

*2021-06-18*

I have enjoyed this mobile app to follow the local inland valley news.

### 5/5 — Excellent update

*2017-01-04*

This review is in regards to the latest update. Published works on DB are thorough and interesting among local news outlets; keep up the good work with the coverage. The only thing that was lacking was an appealing aesthetic to their application. They have put a unique and impressive interface in which i commend them for. I can safely say that this will be my #1 application for news.

### 5/5 — Good app for local news

*2013-06-25*

I can find local news from
My area with one click
Love it. If you are like me. That likes
To know what is going on in my
Area, this is you app

### 5/5 — Much easier!

*2013-02-02*

Easier to navigate and find what I am interested in. Much batter

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2012-10-02, version 2.0*

Perfect!

### 4/5 — App Rating

*2012-12-17, version 4.0.0.0*

Not fancy...Not pretty...But very functional ...It works for me!

### 3/5 — No search function

*2017-12-26*

There's no search function so if you're in the middle of reading an article and you accidentally close the screen, good luck finding the article again

### 3/5 — It's okay..

*2013-01-08*

But yes the old version is better. The new one no longer has a crime, California, national, and world section, which is what I really enjoyed about it. And lately, an error screen keeps popping up every time I want to share a story to Facebook. I would fix this ASAP.

### 2/5 — What happened??????

*2014-03-17*

What happened to my choice of sections? It disappeared, I get national news but I can no longer select in my local news. Local sports everything local is gone! PLEASE FIX, loved the app until the local section went bye bye!!!!
