Appreciate Access to Local News

Although not perfect, this app is pretty user friendly and provides coverage of local news that might not be available online elsewhere.

5 years ago, BillMiller

Why can’t this be more like WSJ?

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 this app. 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?

Big step backward

We’ve been loyal Free Press subscribers for almost 50 years and have adapted to all the changes to the medium over those years. This latest move eliminating the standalone ePrint APP is the last straw. We pay to subscribe and now we’re subjected to pop-up ads to boot! The regular BFP APP is cumbersome, slow, unintuitive and just plain terrible. We’ll sadly be joining the ranks of former Burlington Free Press subscribers as a result. You wonder why local newspapers are failing? This is the reason.

Old news

This app 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 the app doesn’t work or shuts down on its own. You really should be embarrassed by this app.

Terrible

I don’t know why it’s so hard to make a decent news app when there are so many good examples out there but here we are. The old app was so much better. I could actually read the print and navigation was much better. But hey, the ads work so that’s all that matters right? If I could give this less than one star I would. Seriously considering canceling my subscription because of this.

Timely local news

Good reporting, somewhat politically neutral but not really.

Frustrating account management

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

The new app isn’t as good as the original one

This app requires you to provide access to your location before allowing you to go to the e-newspaper which you have PAID for. There are also numerous pop-up ads. This may be a reason to cancel my subscription.

Why Ads when I’m still paying

It’s a great local source of news but I hate that I’m paying monthly and there are still annoying pop up ads in the app.

Excellent current news

Very dependable and the stories are well written.

New format for enews

The new ap is terrible compared to the old ap…especially trying to do puzzles via markup or printing a puzzle full size. Lots of extra keystrokes to navigate what you want to do. Plus, how do I get to my account settings so I can update my info to PAY you?

New app of print edition

The e edition of the new app is so difficult to read. The previous print edition was excellent. What a shame to put out a new app with so many flaws. We hope you can fix this very soon or we will have to cancel our digital subscription.

I enjoy reading the Free Press.

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!

The app 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.

Disappointing

This app makes reading the paper a frustrating experience. The print is way to small and it seems there is no easy option to enlarge it. The old app was much better.

5 years ago, FreePressSucks

Terrible app

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 this app and dropping it like I did that waste of money printed edition.

Printing function for iphone

Can no longer print the crossword. Why isnt there a print button option like the older app compatible with an iphone.

1 week ago, Don’t want nicknames

Unable to communicate

Tried to use print edition app and it is not working. Tried to use Burlington free press app and unable to use on iPad. Unable to contact BFP on app to get help or support or information.

Bring back the old app

This one is very difficult to use. The old app was easier to maneuver

2 weeks ago, BFPpoorapp

Very poor

Had to change from a good app to this poorly designed and difficult to use app. Probably will cause me to cancel my subscription

Landscape mode??

Can’t get the whole width of the page on the screen since the app doesn’t support landscape mode. Pretty much worthless if using an iPhone.

Please report the news not just what you think is newsworthy.

Please report what is actually happening not just what you want to or happen. Thank you

This is what Not to do on a newspaper website

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.

No News Newspaper

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.

Good high school sports coverage

They cover VT HS sports the best of all VT!

3 years ago, Mrb145

Garbage

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 the app.

Best App in Vermont

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.

App okay, content: not so much

This app 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.

Refreshing new app

Once I deleted the old one, and tapped on the new one, the app 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.

Great news' source

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.

Love the BFP, Love the App

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 :)

Great local stuff

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.

Great reading

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!!

Message to download new version

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

Catch up old home town

We no longer live in Vt so using the Free Press to catch on what is happening from time to time in Vt is useful .

App works well, editors need to work harder

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.
