### 5/5 — Reliable and Comprehensive

*2026-08-19, version 10.0.59*

I appreciate how fast news reaches me, especially knowing that the Sentinel has a significantly reduced staff since the “good ole days” of newspaper journalism. I know how hard the staff works and sincerely appreciate all of them! Thanks for hanging on to those amazing photographers too!

### 5/5 — Notifications not working

*2026-06-10, version 10.0.58*

I have received 54 OS notifications in 2.5 days, despite allowing only news  notifications in the settings. I’m still notified of everything. It’s annoying to the point where I’m seriously considering deleted the thing. Developers?

### 2/5 — If NYTimes App is 5 stars, this is 2

*2026-05-14, version 10.0.56*

I appreciate the local news coverage, but this app needs improvements

### 1/5 — Low resolution after update

*2026-02-05, version 10.0.51*

The recent update to version 10.0.51 has resulted in all my photos in the digital edition of the newspaper to be low resolution including the drawings on the comics page. This also seems to affect the evening edition as well. Very disappointed about this latest update. I hope someone can look into this without me having to pay an app technician 5 bucks to submit the problem.

### 1/5 — App strikes again

*2025-12-07, version 10.0.50*

Once again the app all of a sudden has a new glitch. It’s quite impressive how many different glitches the creators of this app create seemingly at random. The latest is now I randomly cannot go back to the full page after reading an article. When I click the back arrow it closes me out of the edition. When I open the edition again it takes me to the same article. Yes I’ve deleted and downloaded the edition. Yes I’ve reinstalled the app. I look forward to this randomly working in a couple months followed by the next ridiculous glitch a couple months later. My unwavering support for local journalism is the only reason I put up with this. But for how much longer? It’s anyone guess.

### 1/5 — Only way to cancel is by calling in.

*2025-10-24, version 10.0.47*

After wasting 10 minutes trying to figure out how to cancel, turns out you can only do so by calling some foreign call center. In 2025 it’s obviously a trap to keep people subscribed if you force them to call in and surf your site for the number to dial. Have never seen another company that does this, as it’s so easy to put that option in the “Manage your subscription” section. This clearly intentional and deceptive and therefore will never subscribe now

### 5/5 — Support the Sentinel to support democracy

*2025-10-02*

Local news sources are an essential part of a healthy democracy. Without local journalism with reporters who are keeping watch over the actions of elected leaders and of area corporations, studies show that voter participation declines and corruption increases. Many readers now rely on online sources rather than subscribing to traditional newspapers. But the Orlando Sentinel is available online and should be one of the sources folks support financially so there will be trained journalists covering the issues that affect all of our lives. The hedge fund that now owns the Sentinel has shown that it is more interested in taking profits from its purchase of newspapers all over the country rather than ensuring a well staffed newsroom. Our first amendment guarantee of freedom of the press is rendered meaningless if there is no reliable source of news that is researched, fact checked, and reliable. Our democracy is being challenged from every direction right now and many of us wonder what we can do to guarantee the survival of the freedoms our constitution was designed to protect. To do your part to help preserve our democracy, subscribe to the Orlando Sentinel.

### 2/5 — Low resolution after update

*2025-08-12, version 10.0.42*

The recent update to version 10.0.42 has resulted in all my photos in the digital edition of the newspaper to be low resolution including the drawings on the comics page. This also seems to affect the evening edition as well. Very disappointed about this latest update. I hope someone can look into this without me having to pay an app technician 5 bucks to submit the problem.

### 5/5 — Excellent accessibility for the visually impaired.

*2025-07-29, version 10.0.40*

The layouts of pages and articles facilitates. The use of swipe and speak page by the visually impaired

### 3/5 — Excessive Storage

*2025-05-12, version 10.0.36*

The app uses a huge amount of space on device. Mine was using 40 GB. Is it saving every issue ever opened? If so, this needs an option to delete older issues. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled and the storage is much better.
