What’s goid for the front page apparently doesn’t warrant includion AT ALL in the app or on the website! Almost without exception, the articles that I want to share are NOT in the app OR on the website - and there’s NO [SEARCH] function. There are dozens of olf artickes tgat seem to remain forever. Sometimes, I can find the BDN article by Googling it, but often, not. It’s wicked frustrating!

I hope the IT people at the BDN read this review. Print news, the lifeblood of our republic, use to be fairly portable not to mention, once purchased, could be opened and closed repeatedly without highly infuriating and distracting instability. Unfortunately not so on a tablet with this current digital version. As a lifelong BDN reader (50 years+) it sure is discouraging. Despite my being a “digital non-native”, this crusty old “Downeaster”is unlikely to seek out an old school paper version, even if I could find a store that sells it! I can’t even access customer service to find out why let alone enjoy and participate in a, finally welcoming, moderating BDN voice in the comment section through my Discus account. Please fix this!

I used to love this app before it was updated. The new update has made the app absolutely terrible and useless. It freezes constantly, when you try to scroll down to continue reading an article it switches to a new article. There are constant pop up ads that do not leave when the X is pushed. They pop up so often you can not even read 3 words of an article at a time before it pops up, and continues to pop up even after hitting the X. I used to enjoy reading the Bangor Daily News app daily, and now I can’t stand to read it due to all the bugs. Absolutely poor app development, completely useless. I would give it 0 stars if I could.
