Simply can’t get most pages to open. So many glitches I just gave up. ### 1/5 — Freezes in iPads *2021-10-24, version 6.0.3* Used this for years no problem. But in the last month it freezes up on all three of my iPads. It still works on my iPhone. Not recommended until this glitch is fixed. I cancelled my subscription in the meantime. ### 1/5 — Phone restarts when reading Edmonton Sun App *2021-06-09, version 6.0.1* There is still a gliche. Reading an article and suddenly the phone kicks out of app and restarts phone. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t load *2021-03-04, version 6.0* The recent update 6.0 does not upload the articles. The app lags and then freezes up. Please repair ASAP. Thanks ### 1/5 — Your app is crashing phones *2021-03-03, version 6.0* Since your last update you can not open a story to read it. It goes to a white screen and if you leave it open more than a second or two your phone crashes and shuts down. ### 1/5 — Bloody awful *2021-02-28, version 6.0* App crashes half the time after last update, when it doesn’t it lags. The other half of the time when it doesn’t crash, you’ll tap on a story and the page comes up blank. ### 1/5 — Articles dont show, the app crashes. Ever since latest update. *2021-02-25, version 6.0* Please fix! ### 1/5 — Bad update *2021-02-24, version 6.0* Consistently crashes iPhone ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-02-24, version 6.0* Some articles open, most don’t. I was at least able to see the Sunshine Skanks. Not any more. Done with this CRAP APP!!! ### 1/5 — Update needs an update *2021-02-23, version 6.0* Ever since the last update (mid Feb) some articles don’t open and it causes my iphone to crash and have to reboot. Please either roll back to the previous version or get another update out to fix this quick! ### 1/5 — Poor update *2021-02-23, version 6.0* Constantly rebooting my IPhone. ### 1/5 — Poor update *2021-02-17, version 6.0* Latest update is causing my iPhone to reboot and stories aren’t loading. ### 1/5 — Pitiful *2020-11-10, version 5.8* Just pitiful, doesn’t get updated regularly. Stories won’t open. Freezes Pitiful, just pitiful, cancelled my subscription to the app ### 1/5 — Suddenly Disappointing... *2020-04-20, version 5.5* I’ve used this app for years and it worked as it was expected it'd work...properly and user friendly. Ever since this last Thursday (April 16/2020), every section you try to enter just displays news highlights. As an example... When I want to see the Sunshine Girl, I expect to see the Sunshine Girl, NOT the same news headlines that seem to appear in EVERY section I try to enter. What's even worse is that it's been the same stories since the 16th. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and the same thing happened. App version: 5.5 (1) ### 1/5 — Joke *2020-04-16, version 5.5* Every section shows the same stuff. P.O.S. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t load *2020-03-15, version 5.3* App doesn’t load after the latest update. ### 1/5 — Never works *2019-11-07, version 4.7* You click on the app it brings up the news for the right day but freezes at that point can’t do anything ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New Sun Format *2025-07-05, version 7.4.0* One would think that a media company would make a change for the better when changing their format. The Sun’s new format, in my option, is poor at best with headlines up to a year old. What’s up? ### 1/5 — Sunshine Girl is gone from new app *2025-07-05, version 7.4.0* More cumbersome app than the old one and missing the sunshine girl which made the old o e almost tolerable. 🤣 Don’t use it… ### 1/5 — Good Example of why The Sun is dying *2022-02-12, version 6.0.7* This app is even worse than their website. Freezes or crashes EVERY TIME. Go to Life section (as a subscriber) and can only read “Ask Amy” from 5 months ago. How about today’s stories?! Cancelling subscription for the third and last time. ### 1/5 — Deserves less than zero rating *2022-02-07, version 6.0.7* What a piece of garbage. The app used to be great over a year ago. Now it locks up constantly & won’t allow you to scroll through an article if you can actually get to an article. Not sure why it’s offered as a free app anymore, they obviously want you to pay for the e paper. ### 1/5 — Poor performance *2022-01-29, version 6.0.7* If you open an article (if it opens), then you have to leave the app and reopen it before you can load another article. Tends to lock up your phone entirely? ### 1/5 — Worst app I’ve used *2022-01-21, version 6.0.7* Articles don’t load, feezes phone solid. Still get notifications even when turning them off. Blank screen all the time. Absolute trash. ### 1/5 — Update not working *2022-01-05, version 6.0.5* Update not working ### 1/5 — App constantly freezes *2021-11-18, version 6.0.3* App freezes on most stories. Can’t use. Same problem as other Edmonton paper. ### 1/5 — Not good *2021-11-17, version 6.0.3* Sorry, but this app flat out sucks. ### 1/5 — Please Fix! *2021-11-15, version 6.0.3* When you open an article, you are momentarily taken to a page, but then another page loads, sometimes it’s the same page, sometimes it’s a blank page. For a free app, it would be annoying, but for an app with a monthly fee, it’s a money waster. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App freezes up constantly *2019-11-07, version 4.7* Thanks for the great news articles. Just the app keeps freezing up and I have to delete app and reload it every couple days. ### 3/5 — It WAS alright *2021-02-19, version 6.0* It Was good then. It stoped loading storys ### 3/5 — 5.5 = Disaster *2020-04-16, version 5.5* Version 5.5 is an absolute disaster - every section shows the same content. If you have an earlier version, DON’T UPDATE! ### 2/5 — Crashes phone *2021-02-24, version 6.0* Now crashes and reboots phone more than ever ### 2/5 — Ereader *2018-06-10, version 4.2.2* If you are looking for the Ereader edition of the newspaper download the PressReader app. You can get the Edmonton Sun there. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
