I like being able to read the news on my phone with this app. I wish it had a dark mode/theme to making reading at night easier. Edit December 2024: still no dark mode and app no longer saves log in information. You have to log in every time you open the app.

App hasn't worked for 7 days now. This is unacceptable.

Since they overhauled the app, I cannot get mine to open. It freezes on The Modesto Bee opening page and never gets to the stories. And, if I click on a notification of a story, it takes maybe 15 minutes to open - popping up in the middle of whatever I moved on to. I will probably cancel since I can't even read the news on my phone anymore.

My account sign in is through my Facebook account. But the Facebook app and the Modbee app don't get along. I can still read articles, but I can't use this app to read them. So, yeah.

I installed this lap so I could access my online subscription to the newspaper. It does not allow me to download the subscription as I previously did for the last two years. It only allows me to look at the paper look real with ads and only pieces so that I cannot reasonably read it.
