The Birmingham News

I’m really confused. Did The Lede go away? I liked that. I don’t get this at all. I thought the newspaper closed. Is this a the same thing?

All I’m trying to do is renew my subscription. This crazy website is ridiculous! I can’t renew. It acts like my account has been canceled.

The news stories are interesting and well written. However, the support for managing ones account are clunky, difficult and primitive. These folks need to invest more resources to upgrade their account-management systems.

LEDE has been out for less than a year but ratings are based on reviews that go back much further. How can you trust reviews if they are not relevant to the app? Was a subscriber to paper until it was cancelled. Everything moved to LEDE this year. The app is full of bugs. Says they don’t recognize my username - but they never hesitate to take my subscription fee from the bank. Local news is important but this app isn’t cutting the cake.

I’m a big fan of this new format- easy to swipe and read

Great app

I love having the Birmingham News app on my phone. It keeps me up to date and is so easy to use.

Wanted to thank Birmingham News for their generosity in providing this free news coverage. I have appreciated it so much during this dangerous time with the pandemic. The extra fun activities for kids and their selection of puzzles in the paper is second to none. Thank you for providing this valuable and entertaining service during this time. I am grateful for this bright spot during the week!

Clumsy, awkward, slow Get better tech help!

Too often the only "news" displayed in the app is the daily comics. Very frustrating! And at least once ear week there is no download at all. The news app, in its current version, is not worth the bother. This needs to revert to the previous version until all the kinks have been worked out. We also lost the interactive crossword puzzle feature with this version.
