Pros and cons of Vancouver Sun app for iPhone and iPad

Vancouver Sun app good for

Latest upgrade in Jan 15 has stabilized most things but the ability to make comments and read comments off main pages does not work. Rest of the links I use and function still get it a good rating. Its just not perfect yet.

I enjoy reading this app. Its stable, reasonably well organized, and comprehensive. But without dates on the articles, its impossible to tell (other than from memory) whether a story is current.

So much better. Between this update and the site, I think Ill start using this far more for local news now. Only thing left is to use the massive Share menu/capabilities in iOS.

Now they just need to add more sharing options like , skype, facebook, instagram etc then it be perfect

The best thing is that in SECONDS it downloads an entire offline copy of the Sun!!

They have fixed the problems I wrote about in my earlier review. This app works really nice now, and I read it every day. One thing I would like to see, would be an option to scroll the pages one column at a time, rather than having to flip three columns (one slide) at a time. No complaints though, the app works great now. It would be nice to have a paid, non-advertising version of the app as an option.

Some bad moments

This latest version of the app is buggy. Constantly goes back to the first page. Tries to load ads but takes forever. Hate it.

I wanted to like this app because the print version of the paper is good but this is a visually unattractive app and hard to scroll through sections of the paper. Clumsy and not intuitive

Lately spends more time loading ads than displaying news. The whole app freezes while loading occurs. Frustratingly slow and now in the bin.

Since the last update, app constantly freezes and is unstable. Delete delete delete.

This app is embarrassing. Ive tried for many many months and finally dumped it. Hard to believe a media giant cant ensure their app is worth the space i gave on my iPad. So long Vancouver Sun!,

This app has been seizing up frequently. Im very irritated by the action ads that occur every other page. This is also taking up more memory.
