### 2/5 — Needs Improvement

*2026-05-20, version 8.10.1*

Why is there no fire/police blotter with posting of calls for service?

### 2/5 — The new app version is lousy

*2023-10-18, version 7.3.3*

Go back to the old version. 

The new version locks up frequently, is harder to view individual articles, and does not allow you to view a single complete page without scrolling through the page. Old version allowed yo to see a readable entire page at one time and then select a specific article for further analysis.

### 2/5 — Very biased and slanted

*2018-02-07, version 5.0*

Ok for some local news but sooooo biased against Republican anything. Don’t give the whole story or facts- just accentuating negatives against anything conservative, while painting rosy view of anything liberal or Democrat. Disappointing and unreliable!

### 4/5 — Adequate

*2016-01-24, version 4.16.100014535*

Better app then trying to mess with the day. Com website

### 3/5 — Well organized

*2016-01-09, version 4.16.100014535*

I found the app to be easy to navigate, and the various topics displayed cleanly. I only wish the comics were included in the download.

### 3/5 — Okay

*2015-02-08, version 4.8.2.0*

I wish I could get more actual news instead of local sports. I do get to see the obituaries and after living and working in the area, I like to keep up to date.

### 3/5 — Good for local news, but...

*2014-11-11, version 4.8.2.0*

Too often the links open a different article than the heading shows

### 4/5 — Very good

*2014-08-15, version 4.8.2.0*

Keeps me updated on all local events daily.

### 4/5 — Good enough

*2014-06-03, version 4.8.2.0*

Simple to use. Easy to read. Wish they would time/date stamp on the tittle screens so we could see how old the info was. Other than that it is very good.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2014-03-31, version 4.6.2.0*

Content is not kept up to date. In a world where most news is accessible as it happens and is up to date the bulletin's online articles are not kept up to date. The articles are also not kept in order of when put up and have no rhyme or reason. No way to refresh the page or see slightly older articles.

### 2/5 — News is never updated. No breaking news

*2014-02-22, version 4.6.2.0*

There's never new news for days. Not even breaking news. I mean I'd like this app to work like wfsb or any other news app.

### 4/5 — Just Fine

*2014-02-18, version 4.6.2.0*

This app does what we need in NC. Thanks NB.

### 2/5 — Just one thing... Or two

*2014-02-03, version 4.6.2.0*

Since last update, articles I have not read dim indicating I have and some I have read do not dim. Also, the articles are not in order anymore and where is the real news? I want local news not sports and entertainment news! Now there are pop-up ads!!

### 1/5 — Crap

*2020-08-05, version 5.7*

We have a bad tropical storm. Next day nothing about it in your app. Pretty bad I have to go to the new London day app to find out what happened in Norwich. You always have tons of crap but nothing about the town you should be reporting about unless it has to do with politics. Your app doesn’t work that great either which tells me a lot about the people running the show there. If this is what you have to offer I will NEVER pay for your app or news paper. I live in Norwich and am greatly embarrassed about you news service to the public. If I could give you zero stars I would but it won’t let me send this if I did.

### 1/5 — Reader

*2014-06-24, version 4.8.2.0*

I don't care for this app. A few ok features. All too often the titles do not have the correct stories attached to them. Kind of aggravating.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time or memory...

*2014-01-16, version 4.6.2.0*

Don't waste your time w this Worthless app. Subscribers are not able to login to view the electronic version of the paper. Skip this app and instead download The Day's app. Much better, especially if you are a Subscriber, as you are able to view the e-version of the paper. STEP UP YOUR GAME NORWICH BULLETIN!!!

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2014-01-07, version 4.6.2.0*

This app just gets worse and worse. Don't bother. .....This app is very basic. I've seen and used other news apps that were much more user friendly. The addition of pop up ads really makes this app a 1 star product.

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2013-12-31, version 4.6.2.0*

When I first got the app, it was great. Then an update, and it was all fluff, no news, ads everywhere. Now it won't even open. I guess I'll be deleting it!

### 1/5 — Errors

*2013-12-30, version 4.6.2.0*

When the app does open it's full of ads and articles about pop culture. No real news located in the app. Don't waste your time. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Norwich bulletin app

*2013-12-30, version 4.6.2.0*

It will not open always reads network error try again

### 1/5 — More disappointed every day

*2013-10-29, version 4.6.2.0*

First the news was old, then tons of ads, even when reading the obits. Now the breaking news section is full of articles from other sources, including heavy use of TV Guide. This app gets worse each time I open it. I keep hoping it will get better and have local, relevant breaking news. It's pretty sad when TV news stations in Hartford and New Haven have breaking news for Eastern CT long before the Bulletin.

### 1/5 — Ads and old news

*2013-08-18, version 4.4.0.0*

Pop up ads and old news are the norm for this

### 1/5 — Not reliable

*2013-08-12, version 4.4.0.0*

App is slower than ever and is constantly crashing. Plus the pop ups are worse each day. News stories are not updated but once in a while.

### 5/5 — On top of things

*2016-12-25, version 4.21.280024478*

I think this app is pretty good. I get breaking news notifications as things occur and every article is time stamped so I am aware of its origins. All in all pretty well  satisfied with the app.

Pop ups are timely and relevant.

*2016-01-20, version 4.16.100014535*

This & WTNH 8 are my go to apps for local news.
