### 1/5 — No updated info

*2014-06-29, version 2.0*

This is a great idea but fails 100%. There is no updated info. I was hoping this would really enhance my visit here, but since nothing is maintained or updated it is complete useless. 
Whoever created this, please discontinue until you have someone to maintain it.

### 1/5 — Movie entry stuck on March 26

*2014-04-08, version 2.0*

I tried everything to change the date for today
April 8 but it wouldn't go 
There. So far pretty useless; will try again
When the site isn't over
Crowded.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2014-02-28, version 2.0*

This is a useless, pointless app. Don't bother installing it, as it's nothing more than a collection of worthless, broken links and out-dated, useless information.

### 1/5 — Lamest app ever

*2013-11-26, version 2.0*

Doesn't connect half the time. Almost no info when it does connect. Please someone come up with a good Villages app!!!!

### 1/5 — App should not have been released

*2013-11-17, version 2.0*

So much information missing that the app is virtually useless. Shame on the developers!

### 1/5 — Links need updating

*2013-09-18, version 2.0*

Downloaded the app to check the local entertainment and movies and the links for both the Spanish Springs and Sumter Landing say there is an error. Not to mention that the Brownwood and additional information links do absolutely nothing. Needs better support and maintenance.

### 1/5 — Town squares

*2013-04-01, version 2.0*

Sorry, but I find this app pretty useless. I try to find out when Katie Belles hours are, nothing. Try to find out what the reservation number is f KB, nothing. Tried to find a table seating diagram for KB, nothing. Tried looking up many other things and nothing. What a shame to waste all that money advertising all the time in the Daily Sun pushing an app with very little useful information.

### 1/5 — Hi, it's 2013

*2013-02-22, version 2.0*

No activities past jan 2013 - think its time to update!! It's a waste of advertising otherwise

### 1/5 — Poor App

*2012-05-16, version 2.0*

Little useful info. Crashes frequently.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App won’t recognize my account

*2023-03-28, version 2.69.0*

I created an account at the Daily Sun website, then tried to log in (many times) to the app, but I keep getting a message that my email and password combo are not right. But I know they are because I can log in to my account at the website. This makes the app useless to me.

### 1/5 — Kicked out

*2022-09-22, version 2.59*

I just downloaded the app and get kicked out whenever I click something :/

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone

*2021-01-15, version 2.50*

They haven’t updated this app in over Year.  No longer works with iPhone.  Useless.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-01-11, version 2.50*

App works on my iPad but not on my iPhone

### 1/5 — Ugly green background

*2020-05-02, version 2.50*

It’s impossible to read the articles with the green background.

### 1/5 — The latest update is no compatible with my gen 3 iPad.

*2018-09-24, version 2.29*

There doesn't appear to be any way to report problems with this app.  As previously mentioned selecting the function to report a problem sends you to their news website not a feedback page.

### 1/5 — Homes furnished for rent

*2016-10-09, version 2.29*

This app is useless as classified ads do not appear. How hard would it be to put the classified ads on line? A high school student could do it.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time?

*2016-01-24, version 2.23*

This is one of the worst apps I have seen, minimal information of value and technically lacking. Broken or missing links make the app hardly worth taking up space on your mobile device. If they aren't going to provide a quality product, why bother even offering it.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2015-07-22, version 2.17*

This app is a total piece of crap.  The splash screen keeps covering the menu selections.  The menu selections leave too little space for viewing area.  When you attempt to get movie info, pop ups and Fandango ads block movie list.  Movie trailers are halfway off the bottom of the screen.  I expect better from The Villages.

### 1/5 — Whoops

*2014-08-09, version 2.1*

Unfortunately, for those of us who have iPads with limited OS (not 6 or above), are now shutout completely from the old apps, let alone the new ones.

### 4/5 — Great App Except For One Serious Bug

*2024-07-21, version 2.71.0*

I have been using this app for a while now, and I find it extremely useful. I can read articles while I don’t have my paper, and can find out about event coming up in The Villages. 

I have one major concern, related to starting and stopping my subscription. The app gives me an option to start and stop my subscription, but when I try to do this, I’m constantly asked to enter my password. This is true, even though I previously logged in. I’ve telephoned the Daily Sun, and was told this is a known bug, and they gave me away around it, which I can never remember. This really needs to be fixed to make this application useful to me.

### 4/5 — No App

*2015-06-01, version 2.14*

I have program but no app. How do I get an app?

### 3/5 — Navigation

*2019-09-07, version 2.50*

I still can’t find the “Navigation” portion of the app as advertised.

### 3/5 — Needs work!

*2015-07-18, version 2.16*

Works better using portrait mode. Can't scroll movies on my iPad 3.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2022-09-20, version 2.59*

Too bad it now crashes every time you tap “In todays daily sun”

### 2/5 — Pretty bad

*2017-03-11, version 2.29*

This app is not well designed at all the front page is essentially blank and wasted. The information provided is minimal at best and not really helpful. Honestly, why put out an app like this?

### 2/5 — *NO VOLUME WHATSOEVER!!! :-(

*2016-01-10, version 2.23*

I JUST DOWNLOADED THIS APP, TURNED THE VOLUME ALL THE WAY UP ON MY PHONE, AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED TO REPORT THAT THERE IS NO SOUND AND NO VOLUME WHATSOEVER!!!  WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!!  VISUALS ARE FINE, BUT NO SOUND!!!  WHAT IS GOING ON HERE???  PLEASE HELP!!!  THANK YOU!!! ☹😠😡😠☹😕🙁

### 2/5 — Needs updating

*2014-05-27, version 2.0*

Cool concept but someone needs to keep the information up to date (movies, entertainment) because links don't work :(

### 2/5 — Recent Problems/can't locate App Support help

*2013-04-21, version 2.0*

Until this week, I'd have rated it 5 Stars; since it's inception, it's worked flawlessly on both the iPhones and iPads…  now (when we have an influx of visitors who wonder what movies are playing where? and what time?), we get a black screen, and sometimes a message that the information is not parsed correctly.  Several attempts to follow the link to report a problem brings us to the Daily paper with no apparent indicator where to report an App problem.   

Hope it's a temporary flaw, but if not… it's a dead, worthless app.
