Bangor Daily News

Keeps locking up and screen goes black. I have to get out and start all over. Very frustrating.

I’m paying for a subscription but the application isn’t working in Germany. What’s the point?

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.

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!

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.

Now it will not work at all; does not start. I’ve reinstalled multiple times with zero improvement.

Update 6/15/19 The app no longer works at all. Just a black screen that says "Bangor Daily News" on it. And I'm paying for digital service for this?! Shameful. Two months ago: Now that I pay for digital access, it would be nice to have an app that works. It freezes up while reading a story, so I can't navigate out of it. Spam ads pop up regularly, either telling me I'm the lucky winner of a new Something Special, or my iPhone has been compromised and I should "click here" to fix it. This only happens when using the BDN app. On the iPad version, I can't scroll down to continue to read; when I try it goes back to the beginning of the story, repeatedly. Why am I paying a monthly fee for this crap? I'm stupid, I guess, but not stupid enough to "click here" to fix it.

With my iOS upgraded recently, the BDN app will no longer open. Have tried deleting and reinstalling multiple times with no success.

The app does not open any more. It used to be a nice user friendly app. During this entire week, when I touch the BDN icon, all I get is a green screen with the BDN title at the top. I expected this to be a temporary problem, but it is still on-going... nothing but a big green screen on my iPad.

Currently the app is not working. Won’t go beyond the loading prompt. Even on its best day, they’ve manipulated ads into what look like legitimate news stories. TOO MANY ADS!!! Just give us the news.
