## Review summary

The Baltimore Sun app is praised for strong local coverage and overall usability by long-time subscribers, but users repeatedly report major pain points: intrusive advertising, unreliable content loading, repeated login prompts, loss of puzzle/print functionality, and disruptive update prompts.

### Pros

- Strong local and state coverage with perceived balance following ownership change.
- Long-time subscribers report the app is generally usable and familiar.
- Some recent updates are viewed as improvements to readability or usability.

### Cons

- Ads and pop-ups dominate the reading experience, including frequent video ads.
- Content often fails to load or refresh properly, with stale editions and occasional outages.
- Frequent login prompts and sign-in requirements persist even for active subscribers.
- Puzzle/print features are missing or broken (inability to print, clip, or access puzzles).
- Update prompts are frequent and disruptive to use.
