Vancouver Sun – News, Entertainment, Sports & More

I like it

Force closes quite often. When it does work it's passable. Could really use a dark theme for night time reading. Edited to 1 star after the redesign. Ads ruin the app. No swipe to next article, no text size option... What were they thinking.

I don't like the update at all! Before I could go between local, national, world, etc. Now if I try to go under topics I can't and it just seems to repeat the same articles no matter how far I scroll down. I'm about ready to uninstall this!!!

This app is largely unusable due to adverts. Many times I'll try and read an article and be forced into some advert thar I can't even get out of, so you can never actually access the article. The layout of the news is also terrible. Just one long list of news articles seemingly with no rhyme nor reason. Take a leaf out of the BBC's book, that'd how you organise a news app.

Simply not on par with other major newspaper mobile apps. Link to articles often send you to another unrelated article. Content appears to be unedited as it is full of typos. Video links do not work. In short, minor league app for a major league city.

The app has a bug that insists on pulling a viewed page back up when you try to leave it. Once it starts doing that the only way to do anything is to shut the app down completely. Very annoying.

App is almost unusable, keeps crashing and sending you in loops that will not let you access content. Too bad, good newspaper, terrible app.

This app or the ads it shows include malware which attempted to open my private data on a cloud service. App is gone now. Complaint emailed.

Way too many disruptive advertisements. Almost as if the app has a bug. You can't even read the articles without being forced to some advertisement page. Very very annoying.

It's not up to date. As of today, the news is 4 days old. That's unacceptable

Crippling ads make this app not worth any benefits it may offer.

Used to be top notch but now causes my Galaxy to freeze whenever opening.

Headlines need to be increased in size. On my Samsung tab s2, they are tiny.

It is okay, but whether I will use it much remains to be seen.

I can't get this on wifi anymore only on data!!!!! Please fix this..and you fixed it, Thanks

Used to be ok but doesn't update anymore.

After the redesign, articles are not updated. The same articles are on the top spots for days.

The worst.

Just kys

You've really screwed the pooch this time VS.

...if I want to post a comment. App results in nothing but a blank screen. Fix it if you want a better review from me.

Use ctv as they have the same news stories but the app works much better. Now, van sun continues to play videos and won't go back to the actual story I'm using. Horrible app, not worth using

Since installing the update to this latest version the app no longer works at all. A connection error occurs stating network unavailable instead.

I have an issue where when I click on an article it sends me to an ad where I don't have any options to click to get out of it and when I used the back button it forces me back to the ad. I understand the need for advertising but ramming it down my throat and making me force close the app seems a bit excessive.

Why have both the Sun and Province apps stopped loading as of a couple of days ago? All news and sports, etc are days old stories and some tabs say connection error. I'm not the only Android play store user seeing this...

The old app would have been a four star app. The "new and improved" version seriously sucks, has problems loading, takes too long to load ads and feels more like a rip off of design from other news app the anything original. I Reluctantly give it 1star.

Continuously crashing. Gets stuck on certain pages and keeps reloading. Not a very good layout either

Do not update new app sucks, articles are all over the board not easy to scroll thru, too much advertising

I feel bad. This app has ruined everything for me. I can't look at it anymore. Please fire the person in charge of this redesign. I want an apology. Stories removed. Look what happened to the USA Today app when they did the same thing by removing the top stories.

You've really screwed the pooch this time VS.

More ads than news What a waste of time.

Whoever "updated" this app should be fired....horrible.

ENTERTAINMENT WAS ONLY SPORTS????!!!!

Looks like a news project gone wrong. Freezes at startup and then also freezes the back, home and tab buttons. It even froze the hard reset power button. Suggest they a hire better dev team.

Today the "Top Stories" tab disappeared. Don't recall if the app was updated overnight but now I have to switch thru local, national, world.

Used this app for years. After the last update I'm tossing it. I understand the need for the annoying ads; but now the stories don't load properly. Doesn't anybody beta test anymore?

Won't show pictures on s7

Wouldn't open in spite of several tries. Crapware. Nexus 10; up to date Android. Tried this version -- useless. Uninstalled it. Will also quit the print edition, as we did with the Province - !!

. What the hell is this app doing behind the scenes ?

As a news reader, this one is OK. It could be better laid out. But it does choke rather too often on my Nexus S. I can't read more than about a half-dozen stories before my Nexus S starts to slow down, and not long after that its response time becomes quite unacceptable until I invoke the Task Killer in AVG and close everything down. And sometimes it takes less time just to pull the battery and restart the phone because it won't respond to any input. But some good news: I commented earlier on problems viewing reader comments; fortunately, those seem to have gone away. So there's hope for this news reader, I suppose. Anyway, I haven't uninstalled it. Yet.
