11 Positive User Reviews for Chicago Sun-Times
Useless share functionality
Share should just copy the link, not a useless block of text and no link.
Could Be Better
The app has been improved, but it’s very buggy and is as smooth as a 10 year old Android device. I encourage CST to spend the money necessary to polish the app, even if it means a nominal subscription fee to users.
A Great Improvement
Great improvement over the S-T’s former app, which was just a grid of boxes with truncated headlines. I really appreciate being able to see the actual print edition layouts which provide a kind of editorial voice in their own right. I find the print ads comforting in the sense that they make money for the paper without injecting unclosable videos into your reading experience.
Doesn’t work.
Since the Sun Times recently updated the e-paper function you can only read an e-paper on a browser. The app is useless.
Revised: App seems to be working as expected. Overall, it’s ok and provides an electronic version of the daily paper, exactly what it’s supposed to do.
Great way to stay informed
The app was buggy at first but my experience has improved! I love using it to keep up with daily news - I don’t have to search online or doom scroll to find out what’s going on in Chicago.
Bug was fixed
The bug below has been fixed.
A couple weeks ago the app updated. It still shows an small image of the current front page, but when you click to read it you are sent to a login page with nothing on it except the words "Log in". Nowhere to type our login info, and nothing to click.
Widget please
Love the app. Needs a widget.
Excellent app!
Love this news app. Definitely prefer it over the Tribune which is more right leaning
Excellence
The stories are in depth and beautifully written. The sports section is one of the best in the country. It is up-to-date and even has West Coast scores before the West Coast papers published them. Fantastic app.
2 Negative User Reviews for Chicago Sun-Times
No way to increase headline type size
This app is worthless if you have vision problems. (No, I don't want to use Apple visual accessibility tools. They are frustrating to use!) There should be a function to increase the font size for headlines & article summations. Is the Sun-Times afraid it will mess up their layout? Or detract from their ANNOYING ads (which there is NO WAY to pay to turn off.) Ugh. If you're struggling to get readers, why do this? Older people tend to be the biggest demographic that read newspapers. Why didn't
Broken push notifications
When I try to access stories highlighted in the app’s push notifications, I am never able to get to the specific stories, and this is unacceptable!
