Same news for the last three days. Stuck on Nov 1st. Tried to delete and reinstall still same news. ### 2/5 — Not bad *2014-05-27, version 4.6.3.0* Needs updated stories. Tired of reading old news. Can't read or type comments. Sad!! ### 2/5 — Morning Sun *2014-03-03* Web page needs some work. Hard downloading at time and it bounces us out routinely. It's getting better, but could be better. ### 1/5 — Unstable *2013-12-31, version 4.6.3.0* Like a 16 year old female driver, this likes to crash. It spends most of it's time unable to load new content. When it does work, it's pretty and simple. Fix it, please. ### 2/5 — App doesn't update the news daily. *2013-11-18* My local news section hasn't updated in 72 days and my news section stopped updating 3 days ago. I'm going to uninstall and install again to see if that helps. ### 1/5 — Mwm *2013-11-12, version 4.6.0.0* App spent update ### 1/5 — Bad app *2013-11-12, version 4.6.0.0* The news hasn't updated in 65 days! ### 1/5 — Morning Sun *2013-10-08* There's no point in using this app it never updated the articles, 36 days old is what I get. I have to go through google and use the Full Site if I want current news. Do they need help or what, cause this app is pointless. ### 1/5 — Ms *2013-10-03, version 4.6.0.0* Terrific if you are looking for news from last month ### 1/5 — Mrs *2013-08-19, version 4.4.0.0* It doesn't have any recent news? Everything is old. And the " local jobs " are in places like Detroit ... Hate this app and am deleting it. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2013-08-06* This app is a total waste of space on the iPhone. The content doesn't update very often and it seems that they report anything and everything. It's almost like the reporters for the morning sun get bored and try to scramble to find anything to write about. And the app seems to always have glitches. ### 2/5 — Best for iPhone *2013-07-30* The app works okay but the screen size was designed for an iPhone. Since I am using a iPad, I would prefer a larger screen size. If the app adjusted the screen for and iPad, then this app would have some value. ### 2/5 — The app is about as good as the paper *2013-06-26, version 4.4.0.0* The app is about as good as the paper no real content ### 1/5 — Rarely updated *2013-05-28, version 4.2.1.0* Not only is the site rarely updated they hardly cover any local sports and events. Don't waste you time. ### 2/5 — Not Impressed *2013-04-27* The information does not update regularly with the most current information. Not all pages/links work either. You get old news all of the time and current news almost never. Obituary page doesn't work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App PopUps make News a chore *2024-08-08* I’m trying to read articles but the adds and videos are difficult to scroll past without being redirected. Can this be due to a large font setting on my phone? Is there a way to adjust the adds so scrolling past them is always an option on either the left or the right side of the screen? ### 1/5 — Not worth the money *2022-03-26* I pay monthly and can rarely see the articles. Can’t get a hold of anyone at their office to cancel. Poor poor service ### 1/5 — Won’t show latest news *2019-03-09, version 7.3.11* The news is still from March 1st and it won’t update! Please update your app! ### 1/5 — No news *2019-02-13, version 7.3.11* This app still doesn’t refresh. 7 day old ‘news’ is no longer ‘new’. This app is useless. ### 1/5 — Can't find obituaries *2017-04-12, version 7.1.7* You've added more buttons and whistles that don't seems to do anything and I cannot find the obituaries. ### 1/5 — Wow *2014-11-14, version 6.2.35* This application is an absolute disgrace. No "search" function to review past articles. If you're going to put an app out at least do it right. ### 1/5 — Not good *2014-06-06, version 4.6.3.0* To many pop ups Old news to many ads Not good ### 1/5 — Terrible News Source *2014-03-15* The "Breaking News" section is filled with "Date in History" articles when a local school just won a state championship. Their Facebook page has more updated content. ### 1/5 — Uninstalled in less than 3 minutes. *2014-01-30, version 4.6.3.0* So many video ads... ### 1/5 — This app is useless ! *2014-01-21* Never updates, I understand its not a major operation, but why have it if doesn't work. Seems like an attempt at just being able to say they have an app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-11-21* Perhaps my expectations are less than some others', but I find this app very easy to manipulate and am very impressed. Thanks from one who resides out if the country for several months. ### 5/5 — Can a brothuh get a passenger pigeon? *2013-07-13* I recall the Stone Age moving faster than these "upgrades." The staff is better off leaning out the window of their giant building with a down-sized staff and screaming the news into the ether. I give this app 5 stars--for sucking. ### 5/5 — Great *2012-11-21, version 4.0.0.0* Great local news ### 3/5 — News that's not local *2015-09-17* The app frequently switches from stories from the Morning Sun to stories from a Detroit area newspaper. I suspect that both newspapers are owned by the same publishing company. However, it is annoying when you want to read news that is pertinent to your area but the only articles are for an area 3 hours away. ### 3/5 — Alright *2013-07-18* It would be nice to actually refresh the regular news feed. Also, half of the time it doesn't refresh the feed for 5 or 6 days. ### 3/5 — Updates slow *2013-07-16* There are times that the news is old, and newer stories don't appear for days. Otherwise, decent app ### 3/5 — Morning Sun *2013-04-18* Needs more frequent updates. Also, obituary section is rarely updated at all. ### 3/5 — Good start! *2012-11-10* I'm finding the app much easier to read than the website. Like the menu options. Wish all local stories were showing up, though. ### 3/5 — Decent app *2012-11-06* Understand app is new so I hope to see improvement in updates and better local stories. Keep it up, you'll get there yet!! ### 3/5 — Need to update this app with the new OS6 on iPhone *2012-09-22* Articles are not available to read since I updated my iPhone to OS6. Please fix this, thanks --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
