Burlington Free Press Reviews

by BillMiller

With the Journal’s app, I can see the timeline for events as they happen because articles appear in the context of a dated edition. I can peruse articles that may be interesting to me and not to others, or I can ignore articles that the publisher thinks are big deals and just focus on what I want to see.

With the Free Press app, I can’t see articles organized by date of publication, I can only see what the publisher thinks I want to see, often from days or weeks before. I don’t get to pick and choose by date, I don’t get to see the smaller articles that might be interesting to me and to few other people - all I get to see are the articles that the publisher thinks are big deals. I hate BurlingtonFreePress.

And the local obit’s are hard to read thru - after you read one, you need to go back to the main Obit page then dive into the local obits - waste of time.

And where are the comics?

I try to login and it says there was a problem. I am a subscribed user and it will not let me login to read the content I want. I am 10 minutes from deleting BurlingtonFreePress and dropping it like I did that waste of money printed edition.

BurlingtonFreePress for the most part is a waste of time. First majority of the news is old news you leave articles on it way too long. It should be more like your paper. Most news apps like the New York Post allows you to look at the paper. You put random articles on your side and leave them on there forever. Secondly as is the case today half the time BurlingtonFreePress doesn’t work or shuts down on its own. You really should be embarrassed by BurlingtonFreePress.

The worst app to go with the worst company

by Vermont Skidog

Old articles, no way to write a letter to the editor and none of the side info like the crossword, comics, bridge hand, etc. and it's not the easiest to use.

Minimal local news reporting beyond high school sports and press-release reprints. App lards with notifications and badges that won’t go away. Dislike the paper - loathe BurlingtonFreePress .

Two incidents of gunfire in Burlington last weekend and no story about it in the Free Press. It was covered by local TV. What good is all happy talk. I’m canceling my subscription.

BurlingtonFreePress crashes on startup even after a reboot

by Geo239

Been trying to unsubscribe for a couple months. Directions under subscription support to say to go under account settings to unsubscribe but on my iPad there is no account settings link so I have no way to unsubscribe. It always scares me to subscribe to something that makes it hard to unsubscribe to

BurlingtonFreePress works fairly well as a newsreader, though it would be nice to be able to save articles as you can in the NYT website.

However, Gannett should be embarrassed by the content. Articles are still featured days after they appear -- or weeks. High school graduation articles were prominent through much of July, and some articles are listed as recent news when they're over a month old.

I would hope that a professional news organization could do better than this, but apparently not.

BurlingtonFreePress recognizes me, but when i try to log into my account to report a missing paper i can’t get past the login screen and there is no other contact info. This needs to be fixed.

Good reporting, somewhat politically neutral but not really.

Great local news

by Sarah/Starbird

I want to thank the Editors, writers, photographers, and all, for a great job. I enjoy the FREEPS, on the I-Phone. I even enjoy the videos.

Thank you, one & all!

I downloaded the new version to my ipad but everytime I open BurlingtonFreePress , I get a message to download the new version. When I hit OK, it brings me to BurlingtonFreePress store where I can open BurlingtonFreePress . Nuisance!

The rest of the functions seem OK

The BFP app works just fine but the editors are doing a pretty poor job of checking the work. I am amazed at how many mistakes there are in not just story text but headlines as well. Not clear how they can miss so much.

by PT In VT

It you are looking for breaking news and in-depth reporting from the Burlington, Vermont area, this is by far the best app available. Nobody else in the state offers anywhere near the amount of news coverage the Burlington Free Press provides, so this is one app definitely worth having if you care about Vermont news. It also has some cool photo galleries and videos.

Once I deleted the old one, and tapped on the new one, BurlingtonFreePress works just fine. I like the layout, but I miss the menu to find other sections, like sports or obituaries. Maybe it is there and I just have not found it yet.

BFP app is a great source of local and national news. All in one place. You can easily learn about all current events happening in the neighborhood as well as stay updated on the top US stories.

by Frankienoodles

I love the BFP and probably read it every day. As UVM student who moved here about 2 years ago, it's been a really great way to get a sense of place and understand what all is going on. To the BFP, keep up the great work, and thank you :)

by Bobbygstx

I read the Free Press a few times a week, usually from the US Virgin Islands. It has all the local news I need from my home town.

I'm from Indiana but am moving to Vermont soon. I really like the new layout and your articles keep me updated on my favorite state!!
