User Reviews

Most reviews praise local Lowell-area news coverage and a quick overview of happenings, but frequent ads and pop-ups, paywalls, slow/outdated updates, a dated UI, and missing content like obituaries and police logs drive user dissatisfaction.
Pros
  • Local Lowell area news coverage and updates.
  • Provides a quick overview of happenings in Lowell and surrounding areas.
Cons
  • Ads and pop-ups appear even for paying subscribers.
  • Content is behind a subscription/paywall requiring a subscription to read.
  • Content is outdated and not updated promptly (headlines and breaking news lag).
  • Poor user interface and navigation; the app is slow, unstable, and hard to use.
  • Missing or hard-to-find content sections (obituaries, police logs, and other key areas).

First of all, why am I getting ads if I paid for a subscription? Second, why am I getting ads for porn? This is bizarre

As far as I know, the Lowell Sun provides me a variety of local news stories I wouldn’t have otherwise known about if I relied on the n my shoe news outlets. I like to keep up on what’s happening in the Greater Lowell Area and this newspaper does just that.

I like the old format to just flip Pages just like I was reading the paper version
