User Reviews

Many reviews converge on a core set of issues: the app often shows stale news and rarely refreshes, and ads (especially video ads) disrupt reading. Performance problems—crashes and failed refreshes—are common, and navigation is limited (no search; obituary access is poor). Some content also appears non-local. A few users note a clean, simple UI when it works and that the app can be handy for remote reading, but overall updates, reliability, and navigation need improvement.
Pros
  • Clean, simple, and visually appealing interface when the app loads.
  • Simple navigation and reading experience when the app is functioning.
  • Useful for accessing Morning Sun content while traveling or away from home.
Cons
  • Outdated content not refreshing for days or weeks across many reviews.
  • Excessive pop-up/video ads hinder reading and scrolling.
  • Frequent crashes and loading/refresh failures degrade usability.
  • No search function and awkward navigation (e.g., hard to find obituaries).
  • Content sometimes comes from non-local papers, reducing local relevance.

I’m trying to read articles but the adds and videos are difficult to scroll past without being redirected. Can this be due to a large font setting on my phone? Is there a way to adjust the adds so scrolling past them is always an option on either the left or the right side of the screen?

I pay monthly and can rarely see the articles. Can’t get a hold of anyone at their office to cancel. Poor poor service
