Belleville News Democrat News Reviews

I absolutely detest this new app. EVERY morning I have to battle to load the paper to read it and every morning it fails to load. Go back to the old app

Not only do you now have to go through many more steps/screens before you can actually read the paper, it doesn’t remember any of the login information. As an ongoing subscriber, I should not have to enter my login credentials every day.
Too many extra add panels in ite way of the paper.

I can’t believe in this age where we have so many options that you actually think that we would pay to find news on your site and still post ads on the site. Get real!

I’ve had BellevilleNewsDemocratNews for YEARS and now every couple weeks I go for days unable to read anything while you nag about getting a subscription. Then it miraculously goes away only to reappear in a week or so. Just stop!

I’ve called repeatedly to discuss the fact they can no longer play the crossword puzzle or any other game with your new beta app. This is a joke! I wish you would just go back to the old app that worked.

Limiting the numbers of articles I read per month is not a way to grow revenue. Sell more ads if you need to pay the bills and tout the number of readers that will see them. Instead you cut the readers off after 10-20 clicks so the ads never get seen.

Well I had to update my app. It worked perfect once. Now when I reopen BellevilleNewsDemocratNews it freezes on a white screen with Belleville News Democrat written in blue. That’s it! Now I I have to delete BellevilleNewsDemocratNews & reinstall it everyday!

It’s getting old, contacted tech support, but no support.

Can’t sign in again. Out of the blue. Can’t read in print version at all. Fine yesterday Not now

BellevilleNewsDemocratNews makes it hard to sign in, links to sign in don’t work and I have equal difficulty going straight to my account for signing in. Often I could have read the physical paper faster than trying to log in to read.

Used to be able to keep up on local stories regularly with only a few articles being restricted to subscribers only. As of last week, cannot read a single article. Disappointing for a free app to have ZERO free content. I’ll get my news elsewhere I guess.

Never can read the comment section. Freezes all the time on my IPad. The same stuff that is free here is recycled into the print edition I pay for. Even in archives I can never find what I am looking for.

I have reloaded BellevilleNewsDemocratNews multiple times and log in everyone I reload and still I have to log in for every article I want to read. I’ll be canceling my subscription until someone fixes this issue.

Too hard to navigate when reading

Based on all the reviews I have read, how on earth could there be a 4.4 rating?

Well I subscribed just to stay in the loop of things going on back home in Belleville for me since I moved to the state of Washington. My only issue is the pop up to subscribe for each section I want to read. Being a subscriber why do I have to sign in each time while I’m in BellevilleNewsDemocratNews ? Gets a little frustrating and if it continues I probably will dis-continue my subscription.

Paper reprints what Democrat politicians tell them. Most news is a day or two old and comes from other McClatchy owned garbage news papers. If you want better quality news, read the St. Louis News Democrat.

Too many repetitive stories

I have had the BND app now for about 2 years. Out of the blue this morning while I was scrolling through and reading the news, the message that was displayed on my screen is that I’ve read all my free stories for the month! I absolutely love BellevilleNewsDemocratNews because it keeps me up to date on news in my area and the nation. But how can I read or enjoy BellevilleNewsDemocratNews when I’m being told this now?

It is an important news paper

I drop the newspaper when you got rid of Glenn McCoy. Also, do not cover near the high school sports as you used to. It got to the point where I could read the entire newspaper within five minutes. Certainly not worth the cost. I decided just to read a few things online.… I still get the Post-Dispatch. Sad days for BND.

Tried to look at Obituaries five times with the same dumb Facebook ad popping up each time. Don’t bother..

Horrible app. Nothing works, way too difficult to navigate.
