Doesn’t remember login info & no way to manually refresh to newest issue
This app deletes your login credentials so you have to sign in again no less than once per month. As an autopay subscriber to newspaper, this is an extremely annoying action by the developer. What is the point of this other than making the app an unpleasant experience for subscribers? Worse though, is that there is no manual control to refresh the app to update to the most recent issue. As I’m writing this review, the app is currently stuck on yesterday’s issue of the newspaper so I am not getting the subscription I paid for. This happens at least once per week.
I have been reading the Lowell Sun for many years. I didn’t think I’d like reading a newspaper on my tablet, but I’ve grown accustomed to the ease it has to offers. Access is easy and you can enlarge the print if need be. Best part is no more running out to the mailbox on cold mornings and no more papers piled up for the recycle bin.
Works every time. Works completely all the time meaning it loads all text and pictures, every time. Navigation between pages is perfect as is the reviewing the menu of past editions. For a small co like the Lowell Sun, you guys have done an outstanding job. Congratulations
I’m a paper in the hand kid of guy always buying the Sun. I was hesitant to move to the app simply because I usually purchase a lottery ticket with it. I am very happy with the easy of reading the paper at my convenience and found it worth the cultural change!
Easy enough GUI, locally sourced, obvious biases are at least consistent with its historical editorial positions. A better investment than Astroturf. Long live local media providers….
I love this app! Easy to read, turn pages. Read healdine, if you want to read more just touch the story & it brings up the whole story for you. Awesome!!
There’s a lot going on in the world besides sports. I don’t understand why the paper is alway able to print more sports news than other features. Take a look at the Bradenton (Florida) Herald.
This is the same as the paper edition but at a fraction of the price. It’s so covenient to have the paper on my phone so I can look at it anytime, anywhere
I like this App, but frequent (4-6 times during the reading of a single issue) make it frustrating to use. Worse, while trying to read yesterday's issue, each crash returns me to today's issue, losing my page location in the process.
I love the way this is set up, except i can't get it to work. Opens to login screen but never have seen how to register so can't log in. Guess that's why I can only access the demo edition August 8. I'd love to be able to read the Sun with this because it seems like a great app with good features if it would work . App is updated.
How do you expect anyone to use the app if there is no way to create a username/password? The username/pw that I have only allows me access to my subscription info...but the app denies it and says it doesn't exist?! I don't get it...
There is no way to register a name and password! After weeks of fruitless attempts I gave up. I've noticed that I am not the only one with this issue. HELLO!!! Is anyone awake at the switch?
My subscription for 26 weeks was paid for February 2022, well, here it is the beginning of May 2022, the app will not let me in for last 2 days, and tells me I don’t have a subscription. So the Lowell Sun is taking my money for a six month subscription and only giving me . #RipOff Update: Finally up and running again update 11/18/22,,,I HATE the new app. Nowhere does it tell you how to access previous issues! There’s a flash of a page with them, and then it goes immediately into the current days’s addition. I missed downloading one day, and now I can’t get that paper..why on earth do they “fix” something that wasn’t broken until they tampered with it? I HATE THE NEW APP
