Orlando Sentinel for Android

As a longtime reader of the Sentinel via hard copy and digital, I can wholeheartedly give the Sentinel team 5 stars for consistently providing the vital information citizens need to live, work, and contribute to the community. Please keep up the great work. We trully appreciate the y'all🤙🤟🙏

One of the worst apps on my devices. It’s never works. I’ve been a subscriber for years and the only way I can read the digital paper is through the link I’m emailed. If I don’t get the link (days like today) there no way I can get the paper through this app. It opens fine and on the second page there is a sign in notice. Once I sign in there is another notice that I’ve reached my free limit. Forget about customer service. All they do is give you instructions how to sign in. I can’t imagine the number of subscribers they’re missing by not fixing this app.

Don’t subscribe to them even if they give you the $1 for 6 months deal. They will auto renew your account at the full rate even when it says otherwise. Also, you have to call overseas to cancel any subscriptions, which seems odd for a paper located in Orlando. No wonder newspapers are dying with practices like these!

This used to be a perfectly serviceable news app that I liked using as an Orlando sentinel subscriber. After the last few patches, I’m plagued by full screen video ads that come back as soon as I exit them, I constantly have to log back in, and it’s hard to find the stories that pop up as notifications if they don’t load right the first time, which happens often. I really wish the app associated with a service I pay to support worked more reliably with fewer bugs and annoying design decisions.

My wife and I are part time Floridians, and this is the closest newspaper to our home. Accessing the online edition is OK, but if i try to open any article individually, it goes into an endless loading cycle on my Mobile. Tried deleting/reloading multiple times and no change. IOS is up to date. Can only read paper by constant pinching and zooming. The app also has an annoying tendency to randomly kick me off and tell me I have no subscription, causing me to have to log in several times.
