Sun Sentinel Reviews

by Kjm1997

Not only is the user interface to read the e-newspaper awful, there are ads at the top which make the newspaper even smaller! And I’m paying for a subscription anyway! If I expand the page in order to read it better I can’t flip to the next page without pinching it down again. And then there are more ads! If I receive an alert and tap to read the article, I have to login every time! If I just open SunSentinel instead, I am already logged in. I could go on and on. I stopped subscribing to the sun-sentinel for several years, and will probably stop again once my new subscription deal is over. This experience needs a lot of work.

I’ve been paying for a monthly subscription but every time I use SunSentinel , I read a few news articles and then I’m told that I’ve reached my limit. Really? I’m being charged $8.00 per month for full access and I’m limited as to how many articles I can read?
SunSentinel also opens the web browser and switches you out of SunSentinel and onto their webpage. The webpage asks me to subscribe. I never get to the article that I chose.
Cancelled subscription. Fix SunSentinel .

I am hating this new format for my daily Sun Sentinel paper. I am on vacation and have been going in circles simply to locate the Daily puzzle page. Too many ads, too many choices have turned me off from simply trying to access what I get in print daily.
I change it to a half star review. Please simplify.

The Sun-Sentinel website is as bad as the Sun-Sentinel paper. Old stories stay online for way too long, multiple copies of the same story stay online far too long, there is very little news of local or national importance, too much editorial content, too much doom and destruction. Need I go on! It is really unfortunate that this is the best we have in Broward County.

I turned on notifications so I could get the latest news updates. Every time I click on the notification it’s loads this webpage looking screen where I am asked to log in every single time. I am already logged into SunSentinel with a subscription but the article doesn’t open when I click the notification. I cannot believe how bad this mobile interface is. I understand it’s not the NYT but still. Hopefully they can learn from other digital news providers and out out a platform where when you get a notification of a story it opens up the article in SunSentinel .

I have been an online subscriber to the Sun Sentinel for over four years at 4.99 per month. At the least, at the very minimum, I have to delete SunSentinel every two months and reinstall it because it tells me I have reached my limit for reading. After four years you would think you would have this fixed by now. Very aggravating.

I can only access some articles on the ipad app. Many articles tell me I’ve reached my limit and need to sign in. But I am signed in! It also tells me to open in SunSentinel but I AM in SunSentinel . I wish you’d fix this as my digital subscription isn’t worth having if I can’t use SunSentinel .

I can’t stand tease articles that I cannot read because I do not have a subscription. They should be able to provide a maximum number of free articles per month. Most of the printed news is already old news since there are other ways to receive news. There is other online media, tv, or publications. Since I can no longer see any Sun Sentinel articles, that has cinched any possibility of a subscription in the future.

Subscribed to read a story published yesterday. Typed in the exact headline. The site search engine can’t find the story (though Google can: the story is clearly there, behind a paywall to keep out non-subscribers, but undiscoverable to subscribers, too). Searched for the subject of the story (a local business) without the headline and got an end-of-year piece from eleven years ago. I’m more frustrated but no better informed than before I paid for a subscription.

The latest updated format of Sun Sentinel’s app has made it impossible to access all stories published under their designated topics/category. For instance, for stories published under “Local news- Broward County” instead of being able to scroll through all stories as in the previous app format, you are now limited to seeing only one published story for each sub-category within SunSentinel . This updated format has rendered SunSentinel as useless and not worth the monthly subscription fee.

Our front page editor “stole” an expose’ story of guardianship administration run amok from the the ORLANDO SENTINEL, perhaps a “sister paper of the SF Sun Sentinel but who would know that because of SF’s editorial incompetence.

I have practiced law, including guardianship law, for more than 45 years in Broward County, Fla. if our SF editor had bothered even to read
the article, she would have known the story was an expose of guardianship administration run amok in THE ORANGE COUNTY AREA. The editor should be fired. How the SF SS ever won a Pulitzer Prize for riding the coattails of the Broward Public Defender’s Office to obtain otherwise confidential material is a mystery to me.

I’ve been reading the Sun Sentinel for many years and have found the paper slowly slipping into the abyss. The e delivery doesn’t work properly and the website is way behind the news. The print copy with its thirty some odd pages for a major market such as ours is deplorable. The financial section all of one page is ludicrous. Not being able to get late sports results is utterly ridiculous. The Sun Sentinel in its monopoly should give us the readers better. Even the digital newspaper leaves a lot to be desired. Shameful !

This new app is awful. The same stories repeat continuously throughout SunSentinel as you move down the page.....The same pictures and stories have shown for weeks in the middle section. The previous app is something I looked forward to everyday but now I will probably jut be stuck with the expensive subscriptions for print addition I get. Very disappointed,.

The new app drains my iPhone battery. Ever since I updated, Sun Sentinel consistently uses over 20% of my battery—and that’s *after* turning off background app refresh for SunSentinel . This is excessive given how little I use SunSentinel relative to others. I’m close to deleting SunSentinel altogether.

SunSentinel constantly interrupts any effort to read local news articles online. I am paying for the online subscription and the chaos of the reader's experience makes it a true "Florida App". The Miami Herald, the WSJ, and NYTimes work simply and logically and still manage to get the ads in.

The outlay of this paper makes it easy for me to find what is important to me.

I was traveling in Europe, enjoying reading the Sun Sentinel each morning. All of a sudden, I am asked “do I want to see the new, improved Sun Sentinel App”?
Then it’s pops up, it does not work in Europe. !?
I cannot get back to the old version, so,... tough luck.
Poor planning

Does a great job of covering local, state, national and world news! Great local reporters, they for sure earn their pay and more, they help keep government organizations honest.

I read the Sun Sentinel every day. It’s how I start my day. It’s essentially my morning checking, update, entertainment, and news briefing. I need it!

South Florida is lucky to have the Sun-Sentinel. It’s the best resource for local news. It also keeps an eye on local politicians and the goings on in Tallahassee. The editorial board and opinion writers are excellent. It’s important to support your local newspaper.

Good news company. But Apple takes your money and the Sentinel refuses to provide news. Happens all the time. I already cancelled my Orlando Sentinel subscription because of this. They are the same company. Bad business and aren’t providing what I am paying for.

by Denise TTYTYBGHJIBB

App constantly asks me to subscribe when I have already subscribed. I have to constantly select reinstate. Although I pay a hefty $7.99 monthly for SunSentinel, SunSentinel has many many pop up commercial ads that are distracting and tedious to close. Most likely I will cancel this soon.
