User Reviews

Users generally appreciate the Sac Bee's local news content and see the app as a go-to source for reading, especially in the morning, but the overall experience is hampered by persistent ads, frequent loading crashes, and stale editions. Many reviews cite incompatibility with older iPads, frequent updates breaking access, and poor customer support. Recurrent issues include non-closable ad banners blocking content, repeated articles, and login prompts. Improvements exist when the app is functioning, but the prevailing pattern is a reliability and UX problem that undermines a paid subscription.

Pros

Strong local news coverage and Sac Bee content.
Used as a go-to source for daily/morning news.
When the app works, reading articles is straightforward.

Cons

Intrusive ads and overlays (floating ad bar, bottom ads, pop-ups) that obstruct reading and cant be closed.
Reliability and performance problems (pages/editions not loading, crashes, slow downloads).
Compatibility/update issues on older devices (older iPads; updates break access).
Poor customer support and unresponsive service.
Recurrent content problems (duplicate articles in editions, stale content/not updated).

Recent reviews

Very unstable with blank pages not to mention nauseatingly repetitive articles….I expect “news”

I hardly use this app because, the search was so terrible. I think it’s better now, but I tried to comment on his story this morning. Click the submit. Nothing happened. They have no support. They sent you to the newspaper Support page, which is only a phone number to someone who knows nothing about the app.

The Bee is good on local coverage except for the Oakland athletics. It would also help to have news that is more current than a day after it happens. Sincerely wish the McClatchey family still owned the paper
