User Reviews

Users praise the Colorado Sun app for its high-quality journalism and easy, clean UI that makes it convenient to read on mobile and access podcasts. However, recurring complaints center on readability (no font-size controls), perceived inferiority to the website, privacy concerns with ads/cookies, and account/donation management issues. Overall, readers value the content and accessibility but want better reading options, privacy controls, and smoother sign-in/donation experiences.
Pros
  • High-quality journalism and thoughtful opinion writers are consistently praised.
  • Easy-to-use, visually appealing interface with smoother formatting is noted by multiple reviewers.
  • App provides convenient mobile access to The Colorado Sun and supports podcast content.
Cons
  • Font size controls are missing, making it hard to read for some users.
  • Some reviewers feel the app experience is not as good as the website and would prefer features or layouts similar to the site.
  • Privacy and data concerns due to ads/cookies persist despite subscription.
  • Account access and donation management issues (login problems and inability to stop donations) have been reported.

Basically the same as the mobile website but with smoother formatting, which is all I really need from a news app. However, you have /got/ to fix the settings so the app will actually remember that I’m a signed in member with notifications already turned on. The app doesn’t go a day without poking me about something I already do.

Really enjoying the app over the emails that sometimes get lost. I do wish there was an article font size adjuster so I could make the font smaller.

Unable to log into account and once you start donating, there’s no way to stop donating to them. I have to dispute the credit card charges Otherwise, content is good and not owned by billionaires.
