User Reviews

Users praise the app’s easy, newspaper-like readability and local news access, but recurring issues with login, accessing past editions, reliability, and the new app UI undermine the experience.
Pros
  • Easy to use with intuitive navigation and smooth page turning.
  • Readability and layout resemble a newspaper, with readable print and easy zoom.
  • Local news focus: keeps you up to date with the Lowell area and is convenient for travel.
  • Access to older editions is straightforward, making it easy to review past issues.
  • Electronic edition offers good value, at a fraction of the price of the print edition.
Cons
  • Login and account setup problems: users can't register or log in, and access can be denied despite a paid subscription.
  • Difficulty accessing past editions: unclear or missing controls to view previous issues.
  • Crashes, freezing, and pages failing to refresh, often losing reading progress.
  • Subscription/paid access not reliably granting entry, with errors claiming no subscription.
  • Frustration with the new app version and UI, including confusing navigation and user experience.

Why can’t I go back and look at yesterday’s newspaper? There are no visible or hidden app controls that allow me to access the content I’ve paid for. The app also frequently get stuck on an issue and doesn’t refresh. This developer also did the Boston Globe app and that works fine. Not sure why Lowell Sun is allowing such a bad user experience?

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

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.
