### 1/5 — No users controls in app

*2023-10-11*

Why can’t I go back and look at yesterday’s newspaper? There are no visible or hidden app controls that allow me to access the content I’ve paid for. The app also frequently get stuck on an issue and doesn’t refresh.

This developer also did the Boston Globe app and that works fine.

Not sure why Lowell Sun is allowing such a bad user experience?

### 2/5 — Doesn’t remember login info & no way to manually refresh to newest issue

*2023-09-21*

This app deletes your login credentials so you have to sign in again no less than once per month. As an autopay subscriber to newspaper, this is an extremely annoying action by the developer. What is the point of this other than making the app an unpleasant experience for subscribers? 

 Worse though, is that there is no manual control to refresh the app to update to the most recent issue. As I’m writing this review, the app is currently stuck on yesterday’s issue of the newspaper so I am not getting the subscription I paid for. This happens at least once per week.

### 1/5 — My subscription is paid, why is it shut off!

*2022-11-17, version 4.0.0*

My subscription for 26 weeks was paid for February 2022, well, here it is the beginning of May 2022, the app will not let me in for last 2 days, and tells me I don’t have a subscription. So the Lowell Sun is taking my money for a six month subscription and only giving me . #RipOff Update: Finally up and running again update 11/18/22,,,I HATE the new app. Nowhere does it tell you how to access previous issues! There’s a flash of a page with them, and then it goes immediately into the current days’s addition. I missed downloading one day, and now I can’t get that paper..why on earth do they “fix” something that wasn’t broken until they tampered with it? I HATE THE NEW APP

### 3/5 — More news

*2022-08-18*

There’s a lot going on in the world besides sports.  I don’t understand why the paper is alway able to print more sports news than other features.  Take a look at the Bradenton (Florida) Herald.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-08-13, version 3.6.05*

I like a newspaper that looks like a newspaper

### 5/5 — LOWELL AREA NEWS

*2022-06-25*

Good Ap to see what is news in the local area.  It gives you options on how the article can be viewed.  I like to use the typical newspaper option

### 5/5 — Lowell Sun e edition

*2022-02-26*

Awesome keeps me in touch with my Hometown. Easy to view and very dependable.

### 5/5 — Mary Payne

*2022-01-28*

I have been reading the Lowell Sun for many years.   I didn’t think I’d like reading a newspaper on my tablet, but I’ve grown accustomed to the ease it has to offers.  Access is easy and you can enlarge the print if need be. 

Best part is no more running out to the mailbox on cold mornings and no more papers piled up for the recycle bin.

### 5/5 — Lowell Area’s most reliable news source

*2021-10-27*

Easy enough GUI, locally sourced, obvious biases are at least consistent with its historical editorial positions. A better investment than Astroturf. Long live local media providers….
