### 1/5 — Recent “update” ??

*2024-07-09*

Why is access to other Gannett newspapers in my region (I live between Waynesboro & Gettysburg, west of Hanover & York…)? Please restore my choices, especially for those other days of the week when there’s no paper editions!

### 5/5 — Informed!

*2024-01-26*

I love that all I have to do is pick up my phone to get all of the latest news updates. Local and National.

### 5/5 — Very Informative!!!

*2023-10-20*

Always has great content and keeps us up to date on what’s going on in the area!

### 2/5 — Late updates

*2022-11-28*

The app is not updated timely.  I receive the newspaper at my home, but I also read it thru the app. It has not changed photos or information for several days now.

### 5/5 — Sign up for the Alerts!

*2020-07-03*

They are on top of the news, I love when the important notifications come across my screen.

### 1/5 — I’m paying for an app I can’t use

*2020-02-14*

It’s been more frequent than not lately. I’m not happy that when I try to open the evening sun app it’s shuts down immediately. I’m not getting what I’m paying for and will ultimately cancel.

### 2/5 — The obituary section

*2019-10-26*

The obituary section is less user friendly because the navigation is hidden at the bottom of the page and not easy to use. The old version had a back button that was easier and faster.

### 1/5 — Average

*2019-02-22*

Some stories promise a follow up with more info to be provided.  A majority of the time no follow up information is provided.  The obituary section is horrible to use.

### 4/5 — South Central Pa news

*2016-10-31*

Find articles timely and interesting. For the most part unbiased and balanced. Tends to lean left as does parent company.

### 2/5 — Problems with the App

*2016-09-13*

Don't like the sporadic problems with the App.  I mostly read the Obituaries.  Sometimes while on that page, it flips to an add or something else, even w/o me clicking or touching anything.  When using the back button to go back to obits, have to click on the bars at upper left of screen to get back to the Obituary screen again. And while on the Obituaries, have to scroll down the page so far (past a lot of junk) to get to where you can move to the next obit.
