Great redesign, still want integrated weather
Jul 12, 2019 High quality local and national journalism. The recent design update is much cleaner, attractive and user friendly. Only dropping one star because the app still does not have an integrated weather forecast/radar. When you want to see weather you have to view the desktop site or use a mobile browser. App includes weather related news but not forecasts. Otherwise, this is an excellent news app and my primary source of news. Subscription for unlimited digital access is very reasonable and in the current climate of disinformation, supporting real journalism is tantamount to supporting democratic institutions. more -
Apr 10, 2019 This is a convenient way to read the daily newspaper as well as to get recent, breaking news. The only negative aspects are, even as a subscriber you see some ads, and sometimes your article refreshes while you're in the middle of reading. Otherwise, its like having today's paper in your palm as well as part of tomorrow's. more -
Still cant get it right
Oct 20, 2020 I count on the app working, I pay for an all digital and print subscription. For those days when my paper doesn’t arrive on time I try and use the app. The app is a total failure. Pages missing or out of order, either in landscape mode or full page mode. Please fix it. It’s been broken for over a year. more -
Can’t log in
Jan 3, 2020 My original sun account was through google. But the app won’t let me log in through google. When I try to log in with my email it tells me the account already exists through google and to press the google button to log in, but there is no google button to press. There are only buttons for Facebook and twitter. Not sure how to fix this. more -
Scrolling issue - ver 5.5
Jun 6, 2020 Baltimore Sun App ver 5.5 on iOS devices - When using the app to read the paper in the full page view I cannot scroll down to the bottom of the page. This feature works when viewing in a web browser (I.e. Internet Explorer) but not in the app. Overall the app functions well. more -
Great app
Dec 17, 2020 I enjoy reading the sun through this app. Previous older version was terrible but this new redo is great. Easy to read articles, easy to stay logged in. The Sun is great journalism that I’m proud to support! -
Support local journalism
Dec 23, 2020 One of the most important tasks for every resident of the City is to stay informed. The Sun keeps citizens informed and holds our corrupt politicians to task. The Sun’s writers are talented and thorough and survive on your subscriptions. more -

Can’t synch across personal devices!
Jan 31, 2020 I take my subscription through iTunes, and it seems that I am limited to reading it on my phone. Is there a reason that I cannot read it on my iPad? -
Nov 20, 2018 When you want to share an article it no longer provides the URL but instead puts the string "null" in its place. This makes sharing useless. This feature use to work.

New format
Jan 2, 2020 Although I am told otherwise I find it hard to believe Sun staff read the app version. Large pictures make it take a long time to navigate. The NYT allows me at a glance to see all the important articles if the day and the decide which to read. Articles are repeated as you scroll. Why are sports considered top stories when there is a sports section? Why are there articles in the middle of the obituary section. I could go on and on. I have been told that fixes are in the works but I am believing this less and less. I am a long time user of the app who is seriously considering cancelling. more -
Aug 18, 2019 I'm a fan of the Sun, but this app just seems plain broken to me. Stuff like the News section keep acting like something went wrong, & stuff like the F.A.Q. makes me wonder whether it recognizes that I paid for a subscription. I can still read the articles fine, but the fact I can't even check the obituaries is bad. They really ought to fix whatever is going on. more -
Dec 30, 2018 It is very frustrating that the app is not accessible to the blind. I pay each month hoping they will fix it, but no such luck. Sad with so many of us who are blind in the city and the home of NFB. It does not es port well into the Android News app, but they put up a paywall that drives you to the app. more -
Dec 26, 2020 Always always an adventure. Seems to function differently everyday. Fine when it works. Frustrating when does not. -
May 27, 2020 I have tried to make this app provide "Silent" notifications only, but my phone still vibrates. I also tried not having any notifications from this app at all (through Android), but they still pop up. This is the only app I have this issue with. If there's no resolution on this, I'll have to delete the app to prevent distractions. more -
Jan 8, 2020 Hands down the worst digital news app. Full of bugs and ads. Purchased a digital subscription it never worked customer support is terrible. All I wanted to do was support my local journalism but such a poor experience it can die in darkness. I will take my money elsewhere to other news providers. more -
Sep 29, 2020 The only real complaint I have with the app is the Evening Edition 'evening paper' is not available. I'm enrolled to receive the email everyday when the evening edition is released which is around 4 p.m. but the only way to view it is through my browser. more -
Doesn’t show stories from today’s front page
Nov 27, 2019 This app constantly freezes with frequent pop-ups asking me to subscribe (even though I already do). Also, the app never shows the latest articles from the front page of the actual paper. -

May 5, 2020 I like this app. It's simple and works, news update notifications work better than with the NYT app. Clicking on links within the app does break occasionally though. -
Sep 13, 2019 Android 10 crash issue has been resolved. Incredibly FAST response from the Sun staff and developers on this, 6 days from when I reported it!

Need to sign in repeatedly.

Too much battery usage
Jul 29, 2020 The app uses a ridiculous amount of battery when just running in the background. For 1 minute in the foreground and 14 hours in the background, it accounted for 28% of my battery usage. -
Jun 22, 2020 Went to unsubscribe from the app because I didn't want to have to pay every month for something I wasn't using, and ended up spending over an hour just trying to find the mobile unsubscribe area. Not worth the money -
I’ll stick with the printed version
Dec 24, 2020 All I wanted to do was look at an ad in yesterday’s Carroll County Times. I got what I needed but it was an adventure. Could you make navigation a little more difficult?

Mar 22, 2020 When I try to login after clicking on an article in the newspaper view, the text fields do not respond by opening the keyboard on screen. It's impossible to enter my email address and password without the keyboard. -
Sep 9, 2019 Haven't been able to use it once since my Pixel upgraded to Android 10. Crashes on launch every time. FIX THIS! Or I'll cancel my subscription. Now do I have your attention, Tribune Publishing? -
So much respect for the Sun but...
Apr 18, 2021 The Baltimore Sun is a vital institution for the city and the region, but this app is atrocious. Why does it ask me endlessly to log in and redirect, but only for some stories? Why in 2021 am I not able to do so with Touch/FaceID? Why is it full of the absolute lowest quality garbage advertising? The Sun deserves so much better than this. more -
AWFUL
Aug 18, 2020 This app could very well be the worst app in app history. Every time they come out with a bug fix something else goes wrong. Pages out of order, constant locking up, blurred pages, split pages and so on. It’s bad enough reading the Baltimore Sun in general, but the constant failure of the app makes it intolerable. more
What’s Groovy
Today, newspapers face enormous challenges, but in spite of those challenges, these folks turn out a quality product every day. Their reporting is fact based and the opinions and editorials well thought out.

What’s Subpar
Despite paying for a digital subscription an password reset, I continue to to be blocked from content. One reason newspapers are going out of business is their failure to deliver paid digital content.
