### 4/5 — Good local news

*2025-06-10, version 3.18.20*

I appreciate all the local news coverage. The only concern is the Sunday edition is very weak. 
It’s mainly rehashing of other editions. National news I get on the internet but local is the Sun.

### 5/5 — Daily Sun app

*2025-05-03, version 3.17.05*

Easy to read and share. A morning ritual

### 5/5 — The Best Local News

The best way to stay informed on local and state news. Good JOB.

### 5/5 — Great Local Paper

*2025-03-18, version 3.17.05*

I really enjoy ready the newspaper with this app because I can keep up with local news wherever I am. It is very easy to use so there is no need to get used to not reading the paper version.

*2024-12-08, version 3.11.00*

Great source of information

### 4/5 — Easy to navigate

*2024-10-31, version 3.11.00*

The app works well. It is easy to navigate. However, when reading the Individual comics in order to fill up the screen, I have to open each comic twice for clarity. That’s my only complaint.

### 5/5 — 'E Edition

*2024-09-08, version 3.11.00*

Love the electronic paper. Paper always updated, no need to throw out my paper, plus you can share it in fiends or family .

### 5/5 — Great solution

*2024-08-24, version 3.11.00*

We dropped the physical newspaper because we didn’t like the idea of filling up recycling with a paper we spent a half hour reading. Now we can read without poluting.

### 5/5 — Does what it needs to

*2024-08-09, version 3.11.00*

Very much enjoy the app features and as a local resident, the relevant news is interesting and true to the community.

### 5/5 — Linda Fagan

*2024-08-02, version 3.11.00*

The paper arrives every morning in good shape and always wrapped in a plastic tube bag! One time my paper did not come in. Somebody brought me one from the Paper. I really enjoy the paper on my phone.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App doesn’t open

*2023-08-28, version 3.8.22*

The app starts to open tells me the is a new addition but then just hangs. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Home delivery or E edition

*2023-04-15, version 3.8.06*

Home delivery is hitor miss.  Usually a miss!  Trying to get my E edition is just as bad. Will not allow me on most   Of the time. 
Delivering my combined weekend paper on Monday is useless.

### 1/5 — Liberal

*2022-12-30, version 3.6.24*

This is a very liberal, biased paper.  We originally bought it when it was $4 a month and it’s increased almost threefold since then.  We only keep It for the local news and restaurant reviews.  If the price increases again we’re probably going to discontinue it.

### 1/5 — Can’t login.

*2022-06-09, version 3.6.14*

I can’t login or set up account. Does the Daily Sun PC require a subscription to view the online version? It doesn’t state that anywhere and there seems to be nowhere to sign up. This app is useless!

### 1/5 — What happened to my daily paper?

*2022-06-06, version 3.6.14*

I have paid monthly (YOU DEDUCT IT FROM MY CHECKING ACCOUNT) for an online subscription to the Port Charlotte Sun daily newspaper.  Now I can no longer access it on my iPad.  ???   I am mostly home bound and 85 years old.  So what’s up?  Did you discontinue my service without bothering to let me know?  I am extremely disappointed.

### 1/5 — Linda Fagan (Gallagher)

*2021-12-10, version 3.5.05*

I have been unable to contact the Paper to let them know that I cannot access my paper on my iPhone! I did enjoy reading it on my phone but all of a sudden I could not access it. I would appreciate it if somebody would contact me yeah 941-626-0225 so they can help me get it back on my phone. I am unable to contact anybody at the Paper because I am put on hold and they never call me back. I have tried several times please contact me because it really is a fantastic way to get the paper

### 1/5 — Useless 👎🏻

*2018-06-13, version 2.7.36*

This app is garbage. There is no place anywhere to sign up in order to put in a user name & password. You can only see a demo from days before. Don’t waste your time with this app.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2016-03-23, version 2.6.27*

I enter my email and password for my account a million times, and I've tried all the trouble shooting techniques and nothing works. Not able to access any article, keeps saying "username and email or password does not match"

### 2/5 — Nice app poor execution

*2025-09-25, version 3.18.20*

I read the paper every morning on the app. Half of the time the article I am reading only loads the first section of the article and I have to switch back and forth between different articles until the article I was reading loads fully. It’s very annoying. I use an iPad.

*2025-12-16, version 3.18.20*

I read two local newspapers that I believe are strong.  Allentown Morning Call and The Sun.  Both have excellent writers, the Sun online site is slightly better.  Keep up the great work you are a necessary part of our community!  Happy Holidays
