| 2024-06-23 |  | | The recent update forces me to log in every time I reopen the app for some stories. |
| 2021-12-25 |  | | It worked for a week or so. |
| 2021-08-10 |  | | Love the new look and content. |
| 2020-06-12 |  | | Update 06-12-20 The Bee used to be free to read via Android. I was wondering when it would change. Changed during COVID-19. The Bee said it would allow free news regarding Covid, the Bee picks and chooses the free news. I would subscribe but at $15.99 a month news on my phone are you serious? You are not using printing presses or killing trees which is costly when using computers. Besides you hired 3 new reporters. I can read the same news free from other sources. |
| 2020-05-26 |  | | Some of the worst reporting of any of the McClatchy press papers. Most of the paper content is synicated, and what is local is mostly opinion... opinions that are deliberately contrarian to the values of the community. Way too many ads. |
| 2020-04-21 |  | | App is not working today |
| 2019-11-11 | | | Worthless app, does not allow me to view digital paper even though I have a subscription. |
| 2019-10-15 | | | It's a real pain to make work. Constantly reloading and doing stupid things on its own? |
| 2019-08-30 | | | Just love it all |
| 2019-08-07 | | | FRESNO BEE app news is a day behind |
