## Bangor Daily News Reviews in United States

### ****- "No comment sections"
This app is very readable and navigable, with a large area for articles on the screen, and it’s easy to navigate the topics.  However, I downloaded this app hoping to be able to access and interact with the comment sections, which for some reason I’m unable to interact with in my browser.  (I mean seriously, what is the BDN without the comment sections?) Sadly, this app shows NO comment sections at all.  Anyway, I would recommend this app if you don’t care about the comments.
-- AnnieT567, 2025-03-29

### **--- "Links are very frustrating"
Clicking on push notification, or even a link within an article to another article, opens an in-app browser window instead of just taking you to the article on the app itself. That browser window then prompts you to log in to read the article despite being logged in on the app! What’s more, you will be prompted to log in AGAIN every time, and information is not saved. Very frustrating and basically makes the (otherwise seemingly decent) app useless compared to just logging in on a browser app and using the mobile site.

### *---- "Decent paper, mediocre app is a joke"
I’ve been a paying subscriber for several years, because I believe local newspapers are crucial to our society and the BDN is a decent, if not exactly excellent, local paper with an important mission. 

That being said, this is the worst app I’ve ever used…for anything whatsoever. Holy cr@#.  It seems like this was written by an employee’s kid as a summer project about five years ago…and never updated or improved since. Search is a joke, comments are a joke. formatting is a joke….  Come on BDN! How can your readers take you seriously when you can tolerate this app representing you?!
-- CanyonMan22, 2024-07-09

### *---- "Good luck trying to use it"
I pay for a BDN subscription. Every time I open the app, it makes me log in to read an article. Every time I log in, I select “stay logged in”. Even though it shows that I’m logged in, every time I select an article? It tells me I’ve reached my limit of free articles and I must log in. Which I can’t do because… you guessed it. I’m already logged in.
-- Erinleire, 2024-06-28

### *---- "Needs work"
Keeps locking up and screen goes black. I have to get out and start all over. Very frustrating.
-- Disgusted with Directtv Now, 2024-01-10

### *---- "Doesn’t work in Europe"
I’m paying for a subscription but the application isn’t working in Germany. What’s the point?
-- Daniel Berlin Brigade, 2022-10-26

### **--- "It’s better than the old app"
The overhauled app is definitely better than the old app, but to be honest, the mobile website is still better. For each section on the home page, you see 3 actual news articles and 1 sponsored content (ad disguised as news). Between each section there is also an ad. So quick math on that: 40% of what you see are ads. This is even for a subscriber.
-- Campah, 2022-10-15

### *---- "No Local Top News"
Until they replicate the top local news like on the website, I won’t use the app. Tons of news stories on the website that aren’t on the app!
-- Base Star, 2022-09-19

### *---- "App Won’t Open"
I enjoy reading the Bangor Daily News and have subscribed for almost a year now. All of a sudden, the app has just stopped working. I’ve deleted it and downloaded it again. Still won’t work. Seriously disappointing.
-- Kathleen813, 2019-06-17

### *---- "Used to be a great app"
Now it will not work at all; does not start. I’ve reinstalled multiple times with zero improvement.
