Brutal.

### 1/5 — On top of bad

*2021-10-24*

On top of keeping R B, the unpredictable and reality distortion reporter on the pay roll, now the application crashes. Please fix both.

### 1/5 — White screen of death

*2021-03-04*

Opening a story from the main page just results in a big white nothing.  Once upon a time this was a useful app, not so much now.

### 1/5 — App fail

Your app is hit and miss on both my phone and my wife’s.   White screen then causes our phones to reboot

### 1/5 — Avoid App as it crashes system

*2021-03-02*

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2022-01-04*

I use to use the Calgary sun app all the time but over the course of the last year every time I try to use it freezes, doesn’t let me scroll and even crashes my phone. Seems the latest updates did not help but actually make the app even less usable for quick and easy new reading.  I would give less than 1 star if I could.  Also I have never seen a disclaimer on a app stating app won’t load on slow networks.. like really your a news site I expect text with a couple photos, not understanding how that’s so data hungry it crashes the app on slower networks.

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing

*2022-01-02*

It hasn’t worked for a long time now. All it does now is crashes and sometimes even forces phone to power down. I guess the Calgary Sun is no longer interested in fixing. It used to be the place to go for news but now it’s found anywhere but. Time to delete from the phone. It was once a 5 star app but now would be a -5 if I could choose. I reached out to developer a few months back. Received a reply but that’s where it ended. Don’t waste your time with it. Garbage and very unfortunate!

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2021-12-04*

Continual freezing. One would think the app developer would have an update to fix. Not so. Get news elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Problems. Freezes

*2021-12-03*

Reading the reviews this problem has been around for some time. Looks like the sun is not interested in fixing. Time to remove application from my phone

### 1/5 — Never works properly

*2021-11-26*

Everything freezes, new news stories don’t load half the time, stories double load then freeze on white screen.  Just horrible!!

### 1/5 — Junk

*2021-11-15*

This app fails all the time and they never seem to fix it

### 1/5 — Fix the app already!

*2021-11-10, version 6.0.3*

FIX. THE. APP.!!!

### 1/5 — Freezes and can’t scroll.

*2021-10-30*

Please fix the constant freezing or cancelling my subscription.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2021-10-28*

App is broken. It crashes after loading one story. I am now deleting the app as it has made my phone lock up to the point where it restarted on its own. Terrible. Pull it from the App Store until it’s fixed

### 1/5 — Poor Ap

*2021-10-27*

Continuing freezing up

### 3/5 — App Freezes, Share function doesn’t work

*2022-01-21*

Often when you click on a story the app freezes & won’t open story. You must close the app & reopen.  Also the share function doesn’t work.  
I gave it 3 stars because I do enjoy the content but the app needs updated yo fix the bugs.

### 3/5 — Please fix

*2021-03-02*

Love it when it works 
Please fix now!!!!

### 2/5 — Bad after last update

*2021-02-26*

Was a good app...  now blank screens when you open a story. Tried to email the feed back... wrong email address... so you complain to no one. (They fill out the email address)

### 2/5 — Why does this app freeze everyday?

*2019-11-30, version 4.7*

Why does this app freeze everyday?

### 2/5 — dont download

*2019-10-18, version 4.7*

Oct, 17 2019: Have downloaded the app 5 times each time I get one read and can scroll. When I exit the app it’s now frozen. Have to delete then download again. I don’t seem to be the only person having this issue. Wonder if anyone cares in the new age of reading news to fix this issue. Brutal
