  • Worthless App

    I bought a annual Sun subscription in 2019 & was happy with the online access & a physical Sunday newspaper. It was automatically renewed in late 2020 (no notification of any kind) but I was happy with it so I let it go. Not long after I was denied access to any type of news thru the app, and had to rely on a daily email with the online daily newspaper for news. I don’t want to read day old news! It’s really sad. Time to cancel.
  • Read 3 articles free! Then pay to read.

    App says free. Great. Downloaded. Read three articles, then got blocked by message stating to sign up free, no credit card required. So they want to gather a bunch of data on me? Fine, I guess that’s the cost of using digital businesses. I “signed up”. Got to read three more articles, with pop up ads by the way, and then got blocked by message saying I had to now pay to read. Wow. Bait, switch. Bait, switch. What’s the next hoop to jump through? I have a feeling that even if you pay to read, you still have to deal with constant pop up ads, etc. If constant ads are creating revenue, then why charge readers? I have a feeling this news outlet is going out of business soon. These business practices make this the type of app you delete within 10 minutes of download.

    Can’t read any one article without at least two pop ups opening blocking my view. Forces me to close and it keeps happening. Useless as is.
  • App is terrible

    I have no idea what section of the paper I am in. The ads pop up in unexpected places. I’m happy the sun has ads but the whole experience is so disconnected and hard to navigate that I am removing the app.

    How do you retrieve the local news? There's no way to get it.
  • False advertising

    The app claims to be free which it's free to download but that's the extent of it. The app requires a subscription after the first day of use which the app does not tell you. Seems like a bate and switch advertising to me.

    All of a sudden, I need to purchase a subscription in order to read any and every news article. Why change? Guess I'll be deleting the mobile app. No use takings up data space just to read the headlines, and not get the actual article.
  • Okay, but what is the point?

    The app has not crashed at all, like other reviewers mentioned in the last versions. However, some contents, eg. Classified, jobs etc. directly linked to the website and are not really optimized to this app. Maybe it has still been in a process of the development. At this moment, I'll go to the website directly, check the news of The Sun.
