What are users saying about Baltimore Sun

K70%
by K####:

Dislike the app's layout, and the one-sided tilt of much of its content. Plus it's expensive. Still need to have it in Maryland.

Assisted Living/Business Services

Most unstable app. Crashes almost every time you open it. If this the best Tronc can do, they should sell now.

R70%
by R####:

Its a good app, easy to navigate, doesnt crash often, up to date news

J70%
by J####:

Titles of articles are not what I'm looking for. I like the NYT format with short summaries. It's not easy at a glance to see a lot of content in the Sun's current format. I don't want video, I want to read the news. Give me more text.

R70%
by R####:

The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because it lacks the music listing.

R70%
by R####:

The latest version has been stable since installation. Former crashes and freezes are gone; articles scroll smoothly. Compared with other news apps, however, Sun articles load very slowly. This gets worse as one moves from the current news menus to the Obituaries and Harford news to the right. Sometimes it takes 30 seconds after being selected for a piece to appear. I wonder if they're using an old, pokey server?

R70%
by R####:

Fast, up to the minute reporting and articles. Informative and multiple perspectives. I have no trouble with the app.

W70%
by W####:

Can you please have the articles load at least as fast as the ads?

R70%
by R####:

Slow, awkward to use

R70%
by R####:

Awesome and well written news.

H70%
by H####:

Very annoying as it pushes notifications all the time. Easier to read and much cleaner than the paper version.

O70%
by O####:

They can keep this junk i'm not paying for this bull

F70%
by F####:

But needs improvement. Articles STILL slow to load. Lots of spinning arrows.

M70%
by M####:

So version 3.9.1 seems to switch pages a little more smoothly, but if it is used long enough, e.g. after reading 3 or 4 "sections," it may crash without warning. Previous upgrade, May 2016, left the app buggy. Articles are slow to start. Moving between sections causes delay and spinning wheels. After about 6 articles, app frequently hangs and must be restarted. Also, most new articles appear in 3 or 4 sections, repeatedly showing up after I've read them.

F70%
by F####:

Really? I only get 10 articles on an ad supported app. Ridiculous. Back to chrome incognito mode for then.

M70%
by M####:

Bias reporting Marylanders thinks polls should be dropped

M70%
by M####:

The articles often hang such that all you can see is part of a big letter while the advertisement is unsuccessfully trying to load. The e edition of the paper from the web is the best way for me to read today's content. Love the paper, not a huge fan of the app

M70%
by M####:

Horrible app. I have had to uninstall and reinstall multiple times. They have not figured out how to track my subscription.

U70%
by U####:

It does not compare favourably with the WashPost site which I find easy to read and well organized.

M70%
by M####:

I was so impressed with the convenience and value of the app, that I subscribed. Since then I have continued to enjoy the excellent articles when I'm not dealing with a subscription bug which seems to forget that I am allowed unlimited access from time to time. Hopefully others will be as patient and persistent because of the strong writing

Awesome app. Up to date news in Baltimore. No problems.

M70%

Excellent.....always getting updates

Site operates poorly, freezes, won't open. Poor layout. Unfortunately if you want local news your stuck with this trash.

Very annoying as it pushes notifications all the time. Easier to read and much cleaner than the paper version.

E70%
by E####:

The ad-free layout is nice. Nothing but the essential text and article related pictures. The app scrolls smoothly and effortlessly. No lag! The tabs are well designed for instant access to the content. Great overall GUI...A+

H70%
by H####:

Slow. The Sunpaper is a ghost of what it used to be.

M70%
by M####:

Good newspaper, but my subscription access via Google onky worked on my phone occasionally. I could never tell if I was going to be able to read an article until I clicked on it.

M70%
by M####:

Have to pay to read more then a few articles, no way!

C70%
by C####:

The app itself is good, the layout is clean and it operates super smooth. The picture zooming with captions is wonderful. However there are a few sticking points. Videos do not play, either bundle some implementation of flash or use another web codec. Also, there is no access to comments made on articles. Seems like too many news apps do this, and this is another one. Other than those 2 pain points, it is pretty surprising how well do e it is. Now please, finish the job!

C70%
by C####:

Cannot display video from Sun articles because Sun app uses old fashioned Flash. Should be upgraded to HTML5.

C70%
by C####:

Intrusive ads that force you to exit the app. I will stick with the web based sun or the Washington Post app that works well.

E70%
by E####:

This one has come long, long way. The new interface looks great.

D70%
by D####:

User friendly but uninformative

C70%

The app is awesome.

C70%
by C####:

Will not pay for news I can get elsewhere for free.

They can keep this junk i'm not paying for this bull

M70%
by M####:

Can't log in even though I have an account

C70%
by C####:

I was very disappointed to find you have to create an account on their site before you can view articles. Poor planning! I can understand creating an account but make it easier so you can do it on the app. I uninstalled!
