Vancouver Sun App Reviews

Horrible

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

Still having a few issues

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.

Looks bad on screen

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

Not bad

..but I wouldnt pay for it. After playing videos you cant close, requiring you to exit & quit the app via multitask

Slow to update - performance is horrible

Worse news reading app Ive ever seen used. Junk.

Time waster

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

Very Frustrating

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

Poor example of technology

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!,

Fix it

Freezes constantly

Crashes

Crashes like crazy. Very buggy. Slow

Drains battery!!

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.

Slow and seizes

I enjoyed the Vancouver sun during my frequent trips abroad. Lately, the software has been extremely slow in updating, even on good wifi connection. It seems like the adds that has been implemented are slowing the process. Not sure where this is going with the service but its not good.

Bad update & user experience

the new multiple banner ads have slowed the pages from loading and scrolling, also seizes up. Bad user experience in sake of monetizing the app

Incredibly slow

Pages take an excessively long time to load

Agonizingly slow

This is perhaps the most frustrating app I have ever encountered. Slow . . . So slow it results in frozen screens more often than not. The frequent interruptions to "update" that take forever often make closing the app more appealing than waiting and hoping that the screen wont freeze yet again. Surely this app could be improved. The online version on my laptop works fine, but the iPad version is pure frustration!

Account management broken

Fix the "Press+" account management. Having to log in to read every article is very annoying.

Absolutely unusable since last iOS update, was waiting for a fix but completely useless for too long now, delete

Very buggy

Too buggy to use, does not work with vpn

App now waits for ads instead of you!

This app recently changed so that load times are much longer, and it seems that they pUse you until all of the ads ads are loaded which can be between 5-10 seconds per page. Ditching this app and back to the browser.
