Easy to use, complements my weekend hard-copy subscription well.

Jonathan White

Dislike the app's layout, and the one-sided tilt of much of its content. Plus it's expensive. Still need to have it in Maryland.

What's below was written 9 months ago. The Sun app has worked well since...until yesterday, when it stopped recognizing my ongoing payments made directly to the newspaper. Now, it treats me as a nonsubscriber, severely limiting my access to articles. What's worse is that the Sun's representative for mobile apps has no idea how to fix it. So I must downgrade the app. The latest version has been stable since installation. Former crashes and freezes are gone; articles scroll smoothly. Compared with other news apps, however, Sun articles load very slowly. This gets worse as one moves from the current news menus to the Obituaries and Harford news to the right. Sometimes it takes 30 seconds after being selected for a piece to appear. I wonder if they're using an old, pokey server?

I am been getting home delivery of the Sun for years and have always been able to read unlimited online content at no additional cost. Now I need to pay 7.99 a month to read online.

Most unstable app. Crashes almost every time you open it. If this the best Tronc can do, they should sell now.

alex b January 25, 2017

Its a good app, easy to navigate, doesnt crash often, up to date news

Susan Dreyer December 19, 2016

Need paragraph summary Titles of articles are not what I'm looking for. I like the NYT format with short summaries. It's not easy at a glance to see a lot of content in the Sun's current format. I don't want video, I want to read the news. Give me more text.

Crystal McDermott October 20, 2016

Really Good The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because it lacks the music listing.

Adam Kautz May 17, 2017

Only lets you read 5 stories for free per month before prompting you to purchase a $7.99 monthly subscription. And even with a subscription (i tried it) they still require you to watch ads before you can read many of the articles.

wayne dorsey July 31, 2016

Fast, up to the minute reporting and articles. Informative and multiple perspectives. I have no trouble with the app.

Bob Martin July 8, 2016

Great idea Can you please have the articles load at least as fast as the ads?

Gary Raffel June 23, 2016

Poor execution Slow, awkward to use

rob b July 6, 2016

Very easy to use. Awesome and well written news.

Jenn T April 21, 2016

10 articles only Really? I only get 10 articles on an ad supported app. Ridiculous. Back to chrome incognito mode for then.

Vincent Stewart May 8, 2016

Bias reporting Marylanders thinks polls should be dropped

James Hall March 28, 2016

Buggy app The articles often hang such that all you can see is part of a big letter while the advertisement is unsuccessfully trying to load. The e edition of the paper from the web is the best way for me to read today's content. Love the paper, not a huge fan of the app

Nicholas Morosoff January 21, 2016

Horrible app. I have had to uninstall and reinstall multiple times. They have not figured out how to track my subscription.

James Jones February 6, 2016

Not coherent It does not compare favourably with the WashPost site which I find easy to read and well organized.

Warrick St Jean January 1, 2016

Great content, great value, buggy app I was so impressed with the convenience and value of the app, that I subscribed. Since then I have continued to enjoy the excellent articles when I'm not dealing with a subscription bug which seems to forget that I am allowed unlimited access from time to time. Hopefully others will be as patient and persistent because of the strong writing

neil lovinger December 24, 2015

SUN Awesome app. Up to date news in Baltimore. No problems.

Walter Ambrose December 3, 2015

Sun Site operates poorly, freezes, won't open. Poor layout. Unfortunately if you want local news your stuck with this trash.

Baltimore Sun Excellent.....always getting updates

Eric is My-Appliance-Guy October 20, 2015

Meh at best Very annoying as it pushes notifications all the time. Easier to read and much cleaner than the paper version.

kevin miskelly November 4, 2015

Sun app Slow. The Sunpaper is a ghost of what it used to be.

Jim Wiedman June 6, 2015

Subscription Quirks Good newspaper, but my subscription access via Google onky worked on my phone occasionally. I could never tell if I was going to be able to read an article until I clicked on it.

tronc Inc. June 15, 2015

Jim, We're sorry you're having issues with your subscription. The latest release has some fixes that should address your issue - if you're still having trouble accessing your subscription after updating, please contact us at mobile@baltimoresun.com

Have to pay to read articles? Have to pay to read more then a few articles, no way!

Marcus Fugett February 4, 2015

Halfway there The app itself is good, the layout is clean and it operates super smooth. The picture zooming with captions is wonderful. However there are a few sticking points. Videos do not play, either bundle some implementation of flash or use another web codec. Also, there is no access to comments made on articles. Seems like too many news apps do this, and this is another one. Other than those 2 pain points, it is pretty surprising how well do e it is. Now please, finish the job!

Peter Fitzgerald December 19, 2014

Great update This one has come long, long way. The new interface looks great.

Yehuda Dax January 1, 2015

User friendly but uninformative

CHRISTINE Frisch January 27, 2015

Love It.... The app is awesome.

Steve Frew September 6, 2014

Worthless Just read the stories from the Sun website, don't waste the download on this app. The look of the app is awful, and you can't get anything more than headlines without paying.

Antonio Griffin November 4, 2013

Pay app? Will not pay for news I can get elsewhere for free.

Galaxy tab 2 10.1 They can keep this junk i'm not paying for this bull

Baltimore Sun Good enough

Matthew Frieswyk April 1, 2014

Used to provide limited free content Now a press + subscription is required to view anything. Greedy. Just plain greedy.
