Zero stars!

I have found that the current eEdition is an extremely poor substitute for the prior version of the online / app software. I am so tired of the jumping screens, ads, popups, etc. I use an iPad daily to read the paper and when opening the app, all I see are ads and no paper. I have found that links to other pages in the paper no longer work and I have to constantly scroll back and forth to read a single story. If I download the paper, the download time can very from 1 minute to greater than 5 minutes or not a all. Also, there is no directory / index to find specific areas of the paper. I am paying good money for a newspaper subscription and not all of the online ads. Please bring back the old software or remove all of these ads!

Why on earth did you switch to this app? Trying to use it is a miserable experience. Some days I don’t even read the Bee anymore, & I really like your newspaper. Go back to the old one. It worked perfectly well for me. I hope this change doesn’t have too negative an impact on your subscriptions. MAJOR MISTAKE!!! M.E. Willert

If you (the Bee)paid more than $100 for this app...it was too much! Maybe the Bee board should consider water boarding those responsible for this decision. It begins as “user hostile” and ends with the representative at the phone “help” center not knowing where the user help guide could be found. I don’t think , if they tried, they could have released a poorer less useful app. I gave one star only because zero star was possible.
New app is nothing but problems

Rollout of the new app is nothing but problems.The Olive version worked just fine. As of today Oct 21, I haven’t been able to open the app for 3 days. I’ve contacted the Bee 3 times in the past month over various problems including blurry pages, header and footer too large making the edition too small, etc. the response is: we know about the problems we are working on it. Did you not roll out a Beta version first to identify potential problems?
When are they going to fix it

The new update e-edition doesn’t work. I’ve tried it both on iPad and android and they are both the same. We called to cancel our subscription because it’s barely usable but they promised it will be fixed. After several weeks nothing has changed. Sacbee take a look at the app the WSJ uses on the iOS it is perfect for reading the paper.
Give us back the print edition!

The changes are horrible

Why take away the print edition from the app?? That was the best part of the old app. Now it sends me online to read the paper and the e-edition doesn’t work and hasn’t worked for a few days now. Why am I paying for a paper that I can’t read? This is ridiculous! Fix it and make it like it was or give me my money back! If this doesn’t get fixed in the next day or so, I’m cancelling my subscription.
Just awful

This used to be a wonderful App for the e-edition. Since “fixing” it two weeks ago, it has deteriorated to the point where we can no longer even sign it. It is a repeating cycle of sending me to the sign in page, I click on it and I get sent right back to the sign page. I cannot believe they have messed it up so thoroughly. Even as I type, my husband is trying to get a human on the phone .. so far, impossible to do. I hate this App and will probably end up having to cancel entirely. I would NOT recommend this to anyone.
Time for a TRUE and HONEST explanation

It is amazing to see a 4.1 star rating on this app. After the fiasco of the last 3 weeks of constant promises the app is “fixed”, “better”, etc. the reviews indicate a desire for a “0” star review or minus 0 for a true and well-deserved rating. It would be reasonable to give us an honest game plan. Is this even fixable? Are you in the process of going back to a format that worked? Do you have no respect for the intelligence of your customers? This is like “The Emperor’s New Clothes”. Not seeing it! Not believing it IS fixable. Why did you not run a pilot program prior to roll out? Whoever is the current editor should graciously throw in the towel and resign! Let’s update the new overall rating from 4.1 to an actual 1, if my math serves correctly.
