User Reviews

Users express strong dissatisfaction with the Vancouver Sun app due to the newly implemented paywall restricting article access, intrusive ads including auto-playing sound videos, and frequent app performance problems such as freezing and slow loading. Many users lament the loss of free content and report poor usability features like losing reading position and lack of article dates. Although the app had a good design and was once a top news source, recent updates have led to frustration and uninstalls.

Pros

Previously provided access to most news articles without subscription
App design conceptually good and was previously a top daily news app
Regular updates are provided

Cons

Most news content is locked behind a paywall or subscription, limiting free access
App is filled with intrusive full screen and auto-playing video ads with sound
App performance issues including freezing, crashing, and slow loading during scrolling
Poor user experience due to losing reading position after articles and lack of article dates
No effective way to turn off sound ads and notifications persist even if disabled

I used this app daily for years and finally broke down to do the update since app was getting very buggy. Seriously regretted the update. Only got, I think, a few free article reads, asked me to register, now it's all behind a pay wall subscription....sorry to see VS go....Uninstalled now....
