Blurry when enlarging font

JCF1955

Articles used to autofocus when enlarging the font, but now it remains blurry. This was a nice feature when reading on your device because you could increase the font size and it would focus automatically. Does not do this any longer, so please fix.


They force you to pay to read

RobRunInTheWoods

You cannot read stories without paying.


Why am I being bothered by ads? I’m a Sun subscriber

avidreader1014

I pay for a monthly Sun subscription, to keep up with my local news, and reading in the app drives me insane, to the point that I am going to unsubscribe. I can’t stand the ads with sound that interrupt all scrolling through the app.


Freezes and ads

aadit21

Does not open up home screen articles and freezes. Also, I hate that I’m forced to watch an ad every time I open the app even though I’m a paying subscriber.


Hopeless. Freezes constantly, crashes often.

Pao de Kuai

I want to like this app. I really, really do. But it’s pretty much a complete waste. On a good day maybe I can get through three stories before it freezes up. Then there are days like today when reading even one seems hopeless. Please get this fixed - or I’m out of here. I’m getting almost nothing for my subscription.


Good luck reading breaking news

The Noiseboy

This app freezes up while trying to open stories. It’s been doing it for well over a year — and during that time I upgraded from an iPhone 7 to a 10, which didn’t matter. Sometimes I can read a few stories before it happens, sometimes it’s the first story I try to read. And in those instances, there’s no amount of quitting and restarting the app that helps, short of coming back a day later to access the same story. So much for reading “breaking news”.


Slow and too many ads

Raymond Az

Every time I open the app I have to view a 3 second ad even with a subscription.


Freezes After Video

I have to reinstall app to get it going again.


Terrible support from the Baltimore Sun

flyskimmy

I purchased a subscription through the App Store, but for whatever reason the link between the App Store subscription and the Baltimore sun website doesn’t stay linked. Just to be clear reading in the app isn’t a problem, but linking the subscription so you can fully utilize the “digital all access” you’re paying for is not a smooth experience and the customer support reps are not helpful at getting it re-linked.


E-newspaper does stay signed in

When I go to the e-newspaper menu item it does not keep my log in credentials and it does not save my view history.
