  • Don’t waste your money!

    What a dope I am. I paid for a 12 month Apple subscription via the App Store. However the G’ville Sun app refuses to recognize the subscription. Both Gatehouse/Gannett (they own the Sun) and the Sun people I contacted were worthless.

    Through trial and error I learned that if you delete the app and then reload it, it restores your quota of free stories. So every day I delete and download it. Everything was better when the paper was owned by the New York Times

    Very comprehensive! Love it!
  • My Gainesville Sun experience

    Hi,
    I bought a digital subscription to the Sun hoping it would resolve the unbelievably difficult experience I was having with my GatorSports app. I have been a huge fan of Pat Dooley and Robbie Andreu for years.
    Try getting in touch with a live person on the phone. I know I could use the Internet, but A. I am old and B. I cannot
    type as fast as I think(Covid Brain Disorder).
    Thanks, Sandhillsgator

  • Obituaries

    Why are the obituaries from Ocala?
  • Used to be great

    I used this app regularly for several years suddenly it is crashing and won’t load anymore. Lately the news has been old and not updated. It really does have potential if I could open it and get the front page updated so it’s not always high school sports
  • Glitchy, annoying

    The homepage stops my music playing as if some story on the homepage has autoplay. This continues even after I click play on my music again. More frequently, the page reloads and the screen shifts to a different location. This makes scrolling incredibly annoying since I lose my place on the homepage and have to scroll back up. This happens everytime I use the app. The same thing happens when reading articles which is even more frustration. The app is terrible.

  • Awful

    What an awful app. I’m a print and digital subscriber and extremely unhappy with this app. Photos are cropped so people’s heads are cut off. The arrangement of story lines on the left makes it more difficult to navigate to news (some of us don’t want to start with the sports section). Has anyone at the Sun actually used this ?

    Great small city paper. App has been working all the time. Keeps me updated city & College events. Really enjoy keeping involved in current events.
  • Subscriber

    I only use the app when my paper doesn't show up. Which is getting to be once a week lately. The info on the app is mostly the same as what was in the previous days paper.
