The Modesto Bee News for Negative User Reviews

✓ Parent company ruined the appPaywall and previous app use had 4 stories listed 3 times. Why repeat? No content? Other news outlets are producing better news. Have eradicated merced sun-star and ModBee. Not willing to pay $200 a year times two to get news, ModBee and Merced sun star. More up to date news out there. Again, multiple stories that last 5 days with a subscription..Tech support userVersion: 7.5.0

✓ UnhappyI really enjoyed having this app to help me keep up on current events because I'm not usually able to watch the news reports in the morning. This is absolutely ridiculous. I'm sad to say that I will be deleting this app..Andrea1191Version: 1.0.17.1

✓ Delivery problemsI’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..CcccghfrdghVersion: 7.6.0

✓ New and improved isn’tMaybe I can get somewhere if I review. I’ve sent three emails regarding how impossible it is to read the Bee with the new app. No reply. The new app is awful. Fuzzy pages, pages that disappear and the list goes on and on..NelliemargaretVersion: 7.4.0

✓ New format horribleI used to look forward to reading The Bee each morning on my Ipad. The “improved e edition” makes enjoyment impossible. Much less viewable space. Unable to zoom in on stories I want to read. Moving up and down on a page is a struggle. Gonna stop my subscription. I was growing weary of the obvious left slant anyway..MsmlwoodVersion: 7.3.0

✓ UpdateI use this app everyday, but after the update, it won't load. I've even tried deleting it and reloading it. Doesn't work. I'd like to use it again. The update looks great on the description, but I can't use it. Can you fix the bugs?.Adpera209Version: 1.2.4.0

✓ Doesn't work after the last update.App doesn't work since it was updated yesterday..OidanceVersion: 7.6.0

✓ It's okThe app for the most part is ok. However, you can no longer enlarge the photos in stories. Also, it constantly shows a red number 1 on the icon. Which is very annoying..BombcopVersion: 5.2.0

✓ This is poor customer serviceI have a 4g iPod touch & they cannot even develop an app to be back words compatible with it. With the new update I cannot even use the app. Pretty sad business..HypernezzVersion: 5.4.0

✓ Local news.Modesto B keeping news locally from being read without subscription or having the app. Next television will be doing the same thing without the app. You need to pay for subscription..Hjc2youVersion: 9.1.5

✓ Don't recommendYou have to pay a subscription to use this app. Save some $ and read the news online. I would give this app zero stars if I could..RicPppppppVersion: 1.0.17.1

✓ Awkward!I loved this app until the update. It now requires a email and password on a daily basis with all sorts of pop ups and junk. Much less user friendly than in the past..Mortimer Z MDVersion: 6.0.6

✓ What a jokeI've been using this app for years and now you want to charge a ridiculous amount of money! Especially at a time like the covid 19 pandemic half the news you can read what a joke wouldn't waste my time with this rip off app I will be deleting this app..GtreassVersion: 7.6.0

✓ Bad formatYour new format is terrible!!!!!.49fuVersion: 7.3.0

✓ Very Poor Excuse for a "News" AppToday - as with every other day -since the recent changes to this app there was only one, yes one, recent news story. Everything else was from June. It's as if they've cut all of the staff that supports the news for the app and they have one person Who is marginally interested in providing any recent news. Maybe the intention is to steer people towards ordering a newspaper delivery like the old days. Definitely could use to up their game..Champion #2Version: 6.0.3

✓ Doesn't provide for letters to editorI read the Bee on my iPhone every day. I do not have a computer. The app is perfect except for one glaring omission. You can't write a letter to the editor or make comments on stories or letters. I'd give it five stars but instead it gets just two..GearcharterVersion: 5.6.0

✓ Not free?I enjoy keeping up with the news after moving to another part of the country but it’s hard to justify spending money on a subscription to do so. I’m disappointed in this change of policy..ClsbrVersion: 7.4.1

✓ TerribleBeen using this app for years. Now they want to charge me. There are plenty of news apps for free.D6464Version: 7.4.0

✓ Beta App is HorribleThe new beta app is terrible. Bring back the ability to do pdf.CdhepcatVersion: 8.0.0

✓ App is poorly integratedI subscribe through iTunes and yet am prompted to subscribe on nearly every article; this still occurs after restoring and checking that it says active subscriber. Trying to read the replica edition takes me through a browser where I have to go through multiple steps to log in again. Since most of the content requires going to the replica edition, this is a problem. The user experience with this app is very poor, especially considering the high price of the monthly subscription for very limited content. The content is great; the app is junk. You need to fix the app so that once authenticated the reader can read smoothly and move to the replica edition within the app..V steveVersion: 7.9.3

✓ Frustrated!!!Bring back the old edition! I have spent 30 minutes trying to open today’s paper! Still nothing, tell me why I should continue my subscription??? The e edition will not open in the paper format! Help would like to be able to read what I pay for!.Stupid paperVersion: 7.4.1

✓ Great app when it worksSince the last update it just crashes every time I open it. They have some work to do..David GingerichVersion: 1.2.4.0

✓ Pesky add that stays on bottom of pagePesky add stays on bottom of page.Rowser22Version: 7.5.0

✓ Pretty Good, Small BugI like the app, it gives me the local breaking news, which I appreciate. It's more portable on my phone than my tablet, but I have loaded it there as well. There is a small bug that makes it always show "1" when you look at your phone, even when there isn't a new story. I hope that will be fixed at the next update..Simgeek1Version: 4.6.6.0

✓ Long time readerThe new format removes viewing privacy by making the reader click on stories allowing the Bee and who knows else to track me. I like privacy!.Very frustrated nowVersion: 6.0.0

✓ BlockedIt limits the number of articles per month you can read. Totally worthless. They have ad banners, why would they block you? 0 Stars.Modesto JaxVersion: 7.1.3

✓ PatheticWon’t let me sign in even though I paid for a subscription. Maybe they should hire a high school student to fix this app..G1 app horribleVersion: 7.1.3

✓ UpdateThe newest update to this app won’t allow me to read articles even though I have an active subscription. I have emailed and called customer service and they can’t help me. When I go to my account it says no active subscription which is not true. I let customer service know and they couldn’t figure it out..Wood Family 5Version: 7.1.0

✓ Football fanWould like to see more extensive coverage of a greater number of area high schools..MamaportVersion: 4.8.0.0
