Ratings and Reviews
Great redesign, still want integrated weather
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.
Portrait Only on iPad
Reading on a phone in portrait mode might be natural and preferred; not on an iPad though. Recently, the Baltimore Sun turned off the ability to view the app in landscape mode. The response I received from customer support was something along the lines of they couldn’t format the ads properly in landscape mode. In other words - they don’t want to invest in what it would take to accommodate their advertisers in both portrait and landscape - and/or they don’t care about the iPad user experience. Every app I use, including news platforms, can be viewed in landscape. If not, they get deleted. Can you imagine Kindle going portrait only on tablets??? They’d go out of business, no doubt. How arrogant is it of the powers that be at The Sun to think their readers are just going to roll over on this so that the advertisers can be accommodated?? I am canceling my subscription. This review is strictly on the app, not the content.
Worst app and paper.
The subscribers receive a daily email but if you want to see more than headlines they mention in email you have to click on story which instead of it taking you to story in app — it takes you to a weird site of the paper that looks like old fashion micro fish…and all user id and info have to be entered to read a story that was linked!
The app won’t even show some of these stories that are highlighted in the email. It’s like searching for a needle in a haystack. I wonder if the app and email from the paper are even run by same company.
Also the app says my experience will improve if I allow adds. Come on…. I’m a subscriber so I don’t have to see adds.
Please can we get this a little updated. I know it’s baltimore but come on. We are a coastal city - we should be able to do this.
