### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-05-27, version 7.9.1*

Unless you follow all the local sport events, this is a waste. There’s VERY little in here except local sports

### 5/5 — Very informative

*2024-03-23, version 7.6.1*

Easy to read

### 5/5 — Very informative

*2023-11-11*

Easy to read

### 2/5 — Meh typical media

*2021-11-05, version 6.8.1*

Great app, but the journalism is so bias. Might as download cnn for your news.

### 1/5 — What about the comics?

*2021-03-13, version 6.4.0*

Since prescribers pay,why can’t we get comics,crossword,etc?

### 5/5 — The Jackson Sun

*2020-05-04, version 5.24.3*

Love it!!!
It keeps me up-to-date with what's happening in West Tennessee no matter where I am in the world!!!

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2020-01-20, version 5.22.2*

Paid for no advertising still have advertising

### 3/5 — A bit dated

*2019-09-26, version 5.18.1*

The App works fine. Your stories are dated by a couple days. It’s more of a historic book than breaking news.

Your streaming of breaking news has help offset your print edition.

### 1/5 — Typical

*2019-08-03, version 5.18.1*

The Jackson Sun charges for the access to this app and then every video you click on has a must watch ad before you can view the video. Typical Jackson Sun.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2019-05-29, version 5.16.1*

Easy to use, helps me stay up-to-date on local and national news. Sometime editing is a bit sloppy, but overall quality is okay.
