The app works fine once I'm logged in, but it only lasts for a matter of minutes. I receive notifications of articles, click on the notification it brings open the app, and lo and behold, I have to log in once again. And then when I do log in, it doesn't remember the article tied to the notification I just clicked on to get there. can we maybe just have to log in once a month or something like that? Or tie the app login to the phone's locking mechanism? Please make this easier to use.

Pretty much what most have mentioned. The splash screen with "The Sacramento Bee" is up for about 25 seconds on my phone before going to the homepage. Then when clicking on some articles it will go to the article briefly, then transition to a blank screen. The blank screen has a left-pointing arrow at the top left of the page, but I usually have to hit it twice to get back to the article. I'll probably just delete this app and use the website, assuming I keep my subscription going.

We've had the Bee coming to our gmail for a long time. We had gotten used to using it, mostly for crosswords, puzzles and individual articles that we would print. Started getting way too many 'breaking news' articles. Opted out of those and quit receiving the daily epaper. The Bee keeps saying they fixed it then has us do things to verify but they don't work. We are computer novices. Their fix is too complicated for us.Only went this route because print edition got more expensive than WSJ. Now they send us emails for cheap subscriptions (that are only good for new subscribers) but no e-edition of our subscription. We are ready to quit.
