### 3/5 — The. Worst. App. Ever.

*2025-10-21*

Words fail me in describing how miserable this app is.  Even when it worked it had a terrible human interface, but every week I encounter a new outrageous bug. At this point it’s almost impossible for me to read the paper. The newest failure causes the app to quit whenever you reach the end of one article and attempt to swipe to the next one. No worries, though, because the clicking handy App Support button on the Apple App page for the SunHerald app — or trying to find a link to report a bug in the app itself or on the SH web site — leads you on a wild goose chase.  There IS no support or bug report for this app.  Give up and subscribe elsewhere — these guys don’t seem to be interested in anything other than billing.

### 3/5 — App is terrible again.

*2021-04-29*

Today the icon for the e edition is not on the app. I’ve deleted and reinstalled it with no help.

### 2/5 — Just looking for money

*2019-11-25*

The Sun Herald is the only news company that I know of that only gives you 3 free articles a month and then you have to subscribe to them. They are a joke

### 1/5 — Subscription

*2019-09-16, version 7.3.0*

Although the app recognizes me as signed in, I constantly get a pop up offering me a new subscription.

### 1/5 — Left wing opinion

*2019-04-12*

Sun Herald is pure left wing extremism at it’s best. It is free for a hand full of reads then pay per view. Most articles are direct quotes from New York Times and Washington Post. One in five hundred articles are local at best. Nothing worth reading, absolutely nothing worth reading period.

### 1/5 — Poor local content

*2018-11-18, version 7.1.2*

I’ve nearly quit reviewing this ap. There is very little local content. I’ve seen 10X more articles on Kentucky sports teams than Mississippi ones. No one single article on Ole Miss sports in months.  Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Pitiful app

*2018-10-09*

If highlighting 10 day old editorials and featuring last week’s sporting news is your concept of up to the minute reporting, then this is the news app for you. Otherwise, the electronic version is becoming as useless as the print version.

### 4/5 — Sun herald

*2018-10-03*

Today’s update totally crashes.

### 1/5 — Won't be paying for this anymore

*2018-08-28*

I still pay for this newspaper. Home delivery, electronic version and mobile apps. For local news, you know? Except when I click on the local news tab, my so called hometown paper is as likely to show me the latest news about Kim Kardashian or Angelina Jolie as it is anything happening in my home town, or my state, or any adjacent states, or even the entire southeastern U.S. I was proud when this paper won a post-Katrina Pulitzer. Didn't know that would be its grand finale.

### 1/5 — Horrible paper

*2018-06-30*

The sun herald has gone down hill tremendously. If any news happens after 5pm it’s not in the next day’s paper. The Braves had a 3pm game and the next day it was reported as a late game. And today (Saturday) I retrieved yesterday’s paper from my driveway. Friday’s paper was delivered on Friday and the again on Saturday. I guess the Sun Herald will be a complete day behind in their delivery. I’m done with this rag.

### 4/5 — News

*2018-06-23*

It’s not as fleshed out as a newspaper of course. I’d like more human interest . It’s really good about keeping up with late breaking news. All in all I like it.

### 1/5 — Keeps shutting down

*2017-05-04, version 6.0.1*

App is choppy, slow, full of ads, and keeps shutting down. The previous version was way better.

### 2/5 — Noisy ads

*2017-03-12, version 5.22.1*

App recently added a noisy ad containing very loud slot machine type noises. Only way to turn it off is to close the app. Makes using the app difficult when reading in quiet situations (waiting rooms, bedrooms, etc.)

### 1/5 — Too little for too much

*2016-12-26, version 5.22.1*

Print PDF keeps crashing. Scroll down to read and pages turn black. 
Default set to print edition and it always opens up in Live view. 
Always asking me to log in. Why should an app constantly request that you log in at least 3 times while you try to read the newspaper?
And why does digital cost so much when you don't have to print or deliver?

### 1/5 — Charges

*2016-11-15, version 5.22.1*

I think it is sad that the app advertises that this is a free app (which it was until 11/14) and now they want us to pay for something advertised as free. That is clearly false advertising. Seniors and disabled people live on a very limited income and do not have the extra money to pay for something advertised as free which is their way to get a lot of the news.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Used to reader

*2026-03-06, version 10.4.0*

No good. Can not get in . Awful. Can not even send review

### 1/5 — No search option for articles

*2022-02-18*

This app gets worse with every update. They need to make changes based on customer feedback. What type of newspaper app does not have a search option to find specific articles?

**Developer response:** Our development team is working on enhancing our search feature, there will be a version release to address this issue.

### 1/5 — Useless!

*2021-10-08*

I have this app but I didn’t subscribe because along with the app I get email notifications…. However, every story I click into it blocks me from reading it and says I can’t read without a paid subscription to the online paper! This is an app so you guys should add that the app is useless unless you pay for the subscription!

**Developer response:** Hello, If you need assistance, please email our Customer Service Team at customerservice@sunherald.com. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Subpar

*2021-10-03*

I’m not able to view anything in this app. There’s no place to login. If I’m going to pay for a service I expect to be able to use it. Fix it now.

**Developer response:** Try clearing the cache on the app and then delete and reinstall the app. If you are still having issues with logging in, please email our Customer Service Team at customerservice@sunherald.com.

### 1/5 — Hate it!

*2021-08-24*

This new version is HORRIBLE!!! I can’t believe this is considered an upgrade, unless I’m in the mood to see the eternal spinning circle. And now have to go to Facebook to read obituaries. Useless app; I’m deleting.

**Developer response:** We are aware of an issue fixing the app are are working to correct it. We anticipate that an update will be available soon.

### 1/5 — Bait and switch

*2020-02-15, version 7.5.0*

Was free to read for public interest now they want you to pay for what you can find on free sites. Download if you want to pay to see a full article

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-11-19, version 7.4.1*

Can’t read any news articles without a subscription!  The app and organization are equally useless!

### 1/5 — Yesterday’s News Tomorrow

*2019-10-29, version 7.4.0*

Title says it all,

### 1/5 — New eEdition is a serious downgrade

*2019-10-16*

I have enjoyed reading the eEdition for several years because it felt like reading my old paper newspaper. Now it just shows up in a web browser half filled with ads. I think I am pretty much done and not likely to renew my subscription next cycle. I don’t understand why the companies I subscribe to start out with an excellent product and then keep downgrading until I don’t want to use it any more. Sun Herald is not alone in this frustrating category.

### 1/5 — Horrible format

*2019-10-14*

Sun Herald recently has changed their format and it is absolutely horrible. Not user friendly at all. I have been a subscriber for many years and not until now am I seriously thinking of canceling my subscription. What were you thinking Sun Herald? You certainly weren’t thinking about your loyal subscribers.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Your new update for logging on

*2025-10-30*

It will not take my userid/password, you said I could continue to userid password. The app is on my iPad only and if I use saved passwords on the iPad, it doesn’t work, I have to use the iPhone saved password, to get the app to work and both are exactly the same

### 5/5 — Sale papers sent to nonsubscibers.

*2021-03-11*

To big a litter problem please stop.

### 5/5 — Want the old app back

*2019-10-21*

I agree with bible user 2.  This app is terrible compared to the one used previously. I loved printing the puzzles but this app prints them so small I can’t even read them.  Also, it may be my internet but each page takes several seconds to buffer which takes the joy out of just being able to read the paper. For us older eyed folks, being able to expand the screen was much easier in the older version. This one cuts off the page, instead of letting you just move around. Sorry for the gripe, but please bring back Olive software.

### 5/5 — SunHerald

*2018-08-21*

Love the ease of using the app for the SunHerald. It allows me to keep up with what is going on in South Mississippi. The reporting is very good. Love the Southern Miss sports coverage by Patrick McGee.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2018-05-05*

SH does a great job of keeping their app updated and informative!

### 5/5 — What?

*2016-11-14, version 5.22.1*

What has happened?  I've had this app for ages-well over a year-and now suddenly it's asking me to pay for it?  Not going to happen!

### 5/5 — Good news app

*2016-08-31, version 5.22.1*

Only reliable news source in South Mississippi

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-06-22, version 5.13.0*

Well laid out and keeps the news flowing.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2014-11-06, version 5.8.0*

Very well laid out and articles are always up-to-date.

My new favorite app for keeping up with what's going on in South Mississippi.

* Since the last update to this app it will no longer open on my iPod 5 running ios 7.1.2

* Newest update (11-6-14) fixed the instant crash issue. Everything is working fine and looks great.

### 5/5 — Coastiemp228

*2014-04-29, version 4.8.0.0*

What's the purpose of these updates if a viewer has to also subscribe via username/email etc?... Deleting app
