I've been a digital subscriber for years and the app has always been terrible, not user-friendly at all. They made some upgrades a while back, which was a small improvement, but now the app won't load/open most of the time. My husband has the same problem with it on his phone. For how much we pay for digital-only access, we should expect a decent app.

Doesn't work well at all. I have updated the Merced Sun Star app to the latest version that is available on Google Play Store. It still does not work well and won't even recognize my digital subscription for some stories. I have updated the Merced Sun Star app to the latest version that is available on Google Play Store. It won't even recognize my digital subscription that I pay for every month.. The problem is not the version it's your app.
