### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-02-08, version 8.6.0*

There is no point having this app. All the stories you get to read you gotta pay e yes even though you already pay for the newspaper. It makes no sense to have or get this app. The regular paper doesn’t even have stories. Sum news is a joke

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money or time

*2025-11-20, version 8.6.0*

As the print media for the second largest city in NM, this “newspaper” is worthless. It should be called the Anti-conservative News. It is common to have days pass without a single story from Las Cruces. Virtually the entire paper is the most slanted articles reprinted from biased Reuters and USA Today. After reading their ethical standards, I find it difficult to see that they are meeting them. 🤮

### 3/5 — New sun-news app

*2025-10-27, version 8.5.4*

This app is garbage! I have the print edition and I pay for that. I don’t need a new app.  Please delete the screen that says to download the new app.  It’s very annoying!

### 1/5 — Poor

*2025-08-13, version 8.1.0*

Be aware this paper is really just USA Today.   The local news has a lot of NMSU football stories, very little otherwise.  Some of the local “news” is days, weeks, or months old.    Subscription is just not worth it, I’ve ended mine.

### 5/5 — Great App 👍🏻

*2025-06-13, version 8.1.0*

I really enjoy this app for pertinent southern New Mexico news, as well as national news. Very informative.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-10-07*

No worries, top stories excellent newsworthy stories that I watch to read. thank you

### 1/5 — Screwed up

*2024-07-10, version 7.10.0*

You really screwed it up with your last update. All I want is to read my local newspaper and now I can’t find it anywhere. I don’t want to read any of your other publications, but I can’t find a path to it. And why do you add pop up ads to a newspaper full of ads? I know it allows you to invade my privacy even more but you should try to mitigate your greed just a little.

### 1/5 — Way too expensive

*2024-05-15, version 7.9.1*

Way too expensive for someone who’s retired and living on a budget. Wish the would just leave it on a reduced price.

### 1/5 — Worst Newspaper APP

*2024-01-05, version 7.5.1*

This app is the worst app of any I’ve used in years. It seems to be filled with bugs. Fix it!

### 1/5 — the app is terrible

*2023-12-16, version 7.5.1*

it keeps freezing… locking up… getting 
pages the size you want is awful…

I do the Fargo Forum on line… works perfectly
