Article and sections cannot be open. It is a hit and missed each time. ### 2/5 — Slanted view of things *2026-07-11, version 10.0.59* Most of the articles in the Sun Sentinel don’t report the news the articles slant the news with their liberal views. Stop it. ### 1/5 — Intrusive Ads *2026-07-03, version 10.0.59* This app has so bad intrusive Ads. While I enjoy the content, the app itself has me frustrated. While reading a story and scrolling down, an AD will auto trigger and redirect me out of the app to a safari window for that AD. How obnoxious. ### 1/5 — App goes from bad to worse *2026-05-14, version 10.0.56* This app is terrible. Whenever you change pages it resets to the last article of the main page. Additionally, most stories stay on the front age for weeks at a time, nothing new. ### 1/5 — Bias *2025-11-20, version 10.0.49* SS is very bias . Always bashing the same people and extremely left wing politics . Weird , since it’s a Red State ### 1/5 — Still can’t find games *2025-11-02, version 10.0.47* Even with the latest update I can’t find games. I can’t even find them with the search. Advice is also a painf to find. Not enough local news. No coverage of sailing in an area with multiple yacht clubs and Olympic and other world famous sailors. ### 1/5 — Awful digital *2025-10-26, version 10.0.47* Sun Sentinel keeps changing the digital. I can no longer read from page to page. I had to switch to digital from paper delivery because the carrier missed my delivery almost once a week. I hate the digital so much that I’m tempted to switch to the Miami paper, even though I live in Fort Lauderdale. ### 3/5 — A good idea, with poor attention to detail *2025-09-01* I like the flow of the app, and that the font used for articles that are expanded was changed. Much more readable. However, while paging through the paper, some pages come up blank. I have to close the app, and reopen the edition to read it. This happens frequently. Another issue is the comics page - when clicking on a comic , it expands well beyond the boundaries of the viewing window. This happens for both single and multi-panel comics, as well as for the daily and Sunday editions. The only option is to zoom the whole page to read the comic. ## Frequently asked questions about Sun Sentinel ### What kind of content does the app offer?
