Sacramento Bee News is free iOS app published by McClatchy Interactive
very down grade
Left 1/3 of screen is littered with pop up ads that decrease screen viewing area. Prior e-edition allowed reader to view and screen print effectively. The apps screen print function does not work on the new app while viewing on an iPad or iPhone. I submitted requests for solution but no response. What’s with that. This app version is a big downgrade..sorry. .

The previous Bee app simulated the print version, so articles appeared at a glance in relation to each other, and no sections were missed as I viewed all the pages in turn. This app simply piles seemingly random and selected articles in a column on the left, without context, photos or hint as to depth or size. I just don’t read the Bee anymore because this app is so poorly done.

Just want to be able to read the e-edition as a newspaper. No need to subscribe any more with the very poor “updated” app.

I only subscribe to the online version and since the last major change I find the eEdition difficult to read. The reason is that when you select a story it is filled with ads and some of them are moving. Very distracting and that makes it hard to read. Go back to the old version. I am not going to renew my subscription after 30+ years.

Whoever designed this ap should be banned from ever using a computer. Truly crappy! Load the front page and you get a crystal clear advertisement at the bottom of the page while the text of the actual news article goes blurry making it unreadable. The advertisement goes away for a brief time, the article text becomes clear/readable, then shezam the ad comes back and the article text is again purposely blurred beyond recognition. And to think I paid for this subscription. That won’t happen again!

This is a terrible replacement for the previous eEdition. I appreciate the importance of reader accessibility, but you have completely lost the feel of the newspaper. It’s now just another news site. I am ready to say good bye to the Bee for good.

Don’t let the overall rating of this app fool you as it includes ratings of prior apps going back years. Virtually all the ratings since Oct 1, date of new app, are 1 star, with just a couple of 2 stars. That’s a clear message that prior app versions were working just fine. I’m experiencing ALL the same issues as communicated by others so I won’t rehash them here. Like many long time subscribers I have cancelled my Sacramento Bee subscription and will get my news elsewhere.

My husband and I have looked forward to reading the Bee for many years. Now, we are transitioning to the Bee on line. We can make the print bigger as needed and we don’t miss recycling the papers. Sandy & Kim Wallace
