Unpredictable

My wife and I have been reading the app every morning for years, but all of a sudden she cannot access the app on her iPad and I have been unable to restore it. So we have decided to terminate our subscription…

Mostly ok

Some what limited sports coverage as MLB is not to be found.

Easy to read

Really easy to get used to reading the paper this way and sometimes the only way with missed deliveries.

No landscape mode on iPad

Only supports portrait mode. Or landscape mode is broken.

Recent changes make app almost useless

The app was quite good until they removed the option to view in portrait or landscape mode by rotating the iPad. After a week or so they reinstated the ability to rotate from portrait to landscape but only by shrinking the font size and utilizing only a small portion of the screen.

Garbage

Used to be good until recently where they force you to subscribe to read any news. It’s utter madness why anyone would pay for a subscription for this garbage app when they can just use the google news app instead. Shame on you for being as greedy as you are and charging more than some video streaming services just to read the news. I deleted my account and the app. Goodbye and I hope you go out of business.

Can’t delete past issues

I can’t delete past issues that I have already read. There are now issues that have downloaded going back to 2003. I used to be able to read an issues & after I read it I was able to delete it. please help me rectify this. Something has changed in the app which is not very good.

All the important sports news happens on the weekend but you don't print on Monday so we get no hard copy of sports events . If you want to cut out a days delivery, either make it Tuesday or alternatively cover the weekend sports events in theTuesday paper.
Frankly I don't know why I still take the Sunday Province as virtually all articles are right out of Saturdays Sun including the puzzles and comics.
The quality of both the print and content has got so bad that it is a disgrace for an area as populated as the lower mainland. I suspect the long range plan is to discontinue all print editions sometime in the future and you are conditioning us to use the online edition

Good local coverage

Does good local coverage.
Still resent not having a bridge column though

Review

Several times lately we don’t receive the paper online.
Ex: today we got Friday’s and Saturday.
Otherwise love reading online as we can enjoy The Sun whilst on holidays.

Content

Content is a fraction of what was previously provided even when you consider the recycled National Post material. Use of an earlier deadline means we have to wait 24 hours for news ans scores we used to get in real time. The QR code for latest info is a joke when you consider the editors forget you are using a device which cant read the code on its own screen. Price has increased while value has decreased.

Not impressed

Cannot log on snd no call back from customer service

Sun paper

News is a day late and sports page is a waste now lack of reporting and can’t put reports of games that are played the day before. Even though the game can start at 4pm. In this computer age you can’t keep up. Very poor

Sports page disaster

Clearly the Sun no longer sends reporters to live sporting events nor does it report box scores any longer.

Delete vs Remove

Why doesn’t the digital issue delete when I click “Remove From Device”!!
It has made my collection a total mess and it’s very frustrating.
I want the issue actually REMOVED.
Please fix this.

43 year subscriber, Province carrier and childhood reader.

My iphone SE is too small to successfully navigate and read the ePaper so my wife has to buy me an iPad for Christmas.
I dislike the new comics and miss Monty and Betty.

Back copies

I ask that only 3 copies be retained. Instead they fill my hard drive. Can you please, please fix this rather obvious bug.

Disappointing changes in format

You’ve changed so much about the paper: the utility pages are no longer giving me the information I liked; the comic section is abysmal; the non-delivery of a hard copy edition on Mondays is really missed probably mostly by my generation — I’m 85 years old.

All in all, I simply don’t like very much about the Vancouver Sun anymore.

Vancouver sun revue

I enjoy reading the sun because the articles quite often go into very good depth of their subjects. It’s also nice to know that the articles are fact checked and you don’t get any FALSE NEWS.

Enjoy the paper.

Generally enjoy getting the printed paper.
Just wish it was a bit more current but they seem to be closing the presses earlier so evening news does not get printed.
Sports news is rarely current.
