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 -
Jan 20, 2021 Average writing this is not the NYT or WP. Does anyone proof read before it is published? -
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!

Feb 13, 2021 Cannot change my payment method. Will probably just cancel my subscription. -
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 -
Nov 19, 2020 Too many ads, poor interface -
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 -
Oct 12, 2020 Was working, now since September, no access to articles. Paying for subscription and no explanation about what's actually wrong or when will be fixed! GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!

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 -

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 -
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!

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. -
Dec 18, 2018 Nice getting the push notifications but when I select them I am taken somewhere else unless selected on the same day. I like notifications but they should last.

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 -
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 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 -
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.

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
