Not much to it

If you aren’t interested in where to find restaurant cockroaches, there’s not much more to it. And the app often doesn’t recognize me as a paid subscriber so I have to go through the hassle of re-logging in

Local Transparency

The Modesto Bee is our greatest source of transparency and keeping local politicians accountable. It’s vital our local news survives the age of free internet news nit too mention all the fake garbage foisted upon us. Thank you McClatchy and Modesto Bee reporters for the light you bring in transparency.

I’ve been trying for a week to get my paper delivered by using this app. After seven days still no paper. So this app appears useless.
