Akron Beacon Journal for Android
Sucks
App sucks! Crashes all thie the time. Not worth downloading and paying to read it. I'll watch the news on TV.
I just downloaded this app. When I open the app, I'm brought to a "sign in" screen, asking for my email and password. What password? Where do you create an account?!
Too much sports. Not enough news. Not user friendly. Irritating to use.
The Place to get Akron area news!
Too many blips
I just downloaded this app. When I open the app, I'm brought to a "sign in" screen, asking for my email and password. What password? Where do you create an account?!
App needs to join the 21st century. Clearly robots are giving this app 5 stars. I live in Akron and the stories in this app aren't even legit news stories. Also - 6 'free' articles and then open the wallet... Wow...
Keeps going back and forth to sign on page without going to the news.
Paper
Sends new passwords but doesn't recognize them. Can't change password, so if yours works, don't forget it.

Would not even work long enough to open
Cavs Extra Playoff Articles
The app provides newspaper page layout visuals accompanied by text versions of indivdual articles. This could be a best-of-both-worlds winner. It works on a broad range of devices with options to accommodate large & small screens snd various graphic resolutions.
Hard to sign into. Better than PD
I can't get this to work. It says sign in and I do..it doesn't sign me in. Piece of CRAP
Not perfect but compared to the Plain Dealer it's light years ahead. Update 8/2/14: reduced to 2 stars because now I can't read today's edition. Yesterday's yes, today's no. Close to cancelling.
This digital replica is a great way to get my local news from the most trusted source in the Akron area.
The app attempts to provide newspaper page layout visuals accompanied by text versions of indivdual articles. This could be a best-of-both-worlds winner. Unfortunately, it is unbearably sluggish on my otherwise responsive Nook HD+ (and high speed internet connection). Scrolling text panes doesn't work. Reading experience doesn't come close to that achieved viewing the PDF version via the Kindle app on the same device.
Sucks can't get into anything
Five stars.
Five stars.

Disappointing. Try to read a story. Good luck
