Worse than the mobile site I pay for a subscription and I still get ads on this app. The mobile site of the Sun has a better layout, easier to navigate and see all types of stories, and no ads. Why would I use this app?

A Google User

Subscription Why can't you just charge a one time fee like most apps do. Then people would subscribe to you and be happy that they can read the local news and comment too. You at least would make money instead of someone not having subscribed at all. You could then sell ads on the online page.

Would really like to see support for landscape mode.

Hangs up alot Rarely provides content. It starts up then hangs there and doesn't even provide headlines. I have stopped the app and cleared the cache, restarted my phone and problem persists. Very disappointing since the paper charged 10.00 per month to access their content. And that is just for digital only. Then to have an app that is dysfunctional is a major negative....

Works sometimes Great when it works, I have to remove it once a month and then install again, it gets stuck on refreshing.

Hi, we have been working hard at squashing any remaining bugs in the apps and will be delivering an update in a couple of weeks that should clear everything up. Thank you for your patience.

$120 per year for crap content... They now charge $10 for content... Look elsewhere for your news... I am not paying $120/yr for the little content that they do provide...

Susan Baker July 11, 2013

If I have to pay to play I have a paid subscription, I don't appreciate the pop-up ads.

Jake Parks May 30, 2013

Lookin good Great redesign. Even easier to use now.

Jennifer Weir June 22, 2013

Deleting Why would I pay for your news when it's free every else

Helena Leuchten May 14, 2013

Pay site now Old news with grammatical errors is not worth 10.99 a month. many other sources on the internet for news that are free...

Amy O'Shaughnessy May 23, 2013

Not paying I'm not paying for shoty, biased, and partial information when I can look at my Facebook page and get it for free. You jib is to report the news and the facts not your opinion.

A Google User May 30, 2013

Not professional enough for $$ Info is often incomplete and full of grammatical and other types of error. Provide better service and maybe I would consider if price comes down.

A Google User May 22, 2013

Too expensive to comment Only paid subscribers can comment. 120 a year (10 a month) is too pricey for so little content.The advertiser supported format they had allowed a lively forum. The sun ruined a good thing by making commenting for paid subscribers only. The silence is deafening.

Uninstall Not paying for so little content. Btw, any real important news will be free all over the internet.

Susan Brown June 25, 2013

Why? Why do i have to sign up to read on my phone when i didn't have to befor!!!!!

Carrie Thompson May 16, 2013

Zane Nelsom May 16, 2013
