This version is much better than the previous version EXCEPT if you inadvertently touch the screen, it takes you to an isolated view of an article. This happens frequently and it’s rather annoying. Why not require a double tap of the screen for those who like the isolated view? I personally NEVER purposely use this alternate view, but I get it accidentally way too often.
App is poorly integrated
V steve
I subscribe through iTunes and yet am prompted to subscribe on nearly every article; this still occurs after restoring and checking that it says active subscriber. Trying to read the replica edition takes me through a browser where I have to go through multiple steps to log in again. Since most of the content requires going to the replica edition, this is a problem. The user experience with this app is very poor, especially considering the high price of the monthly subscription for very limited content. The content is great; the app is junk. You need to fix the app so that once authenticated the reader can read smoothly and move to the replica edition within the app.
Local Transparency

The Modesto Bee is our greatest source of transparency and keeping local politicians accountable. It’s vital our local news survives the age of free internet news nit too mention all the fake garbage foisted upon us. Thank you McClatchy and Modesto Bee reporters for the light you bring in transparency.
