Orlando Sentinel App Reviews

Orlando Sentinel

Sort of ridiculous to pay $4.99 for access to DigitalPlus stories. Just Google the headline and read it for free on the mobile version site. Otherwise, for the most part the app is an improvement from previous versions.

What a joke!

Well, I guess its nice that we dont have to worry about all the glitches with this app anymore. It wont stay running long enough to encounter them. Brilliant ........

Worthless

I invite any other news outlet to produce an app. It wouldnt be hard to beat this one. Either crashes or doesnt load in the first place. Maybe if I paid for the premium version this wouldnt happen? Sorry but Im not paying to read the news.

Have to keep logging in

If you pay $5 a month for the premium version, it often makes you log out and log back in every time you read 5 premium articles. Its like it forgets that youre a paid subscriber and wont let you read further until you log out and log in again. Otherwise, its a decent app.

Crash and burn

I cancelled my subscription. App wont stay open on my I phone 6. How does this happen?

Frustrating app

The app closes abruptly on its own and is difficult to navigate. For some reason it defaults to the entertainment section and is generally not stable.

Horrible

Will not open, dont waste your time to even download.

Anyone there?

This is the most frustrating app. Seldom will it even open on either iPhone or iPad. On the rare occasion it does, it will usually shut down before you can read an article.

Rarely working app

This app is almost completely useless because it hardly ever works. It consistently crashes and most the time will not even open. Its terribly designed and needs to be fixed.

Dont bother

Constantly crashes. And when youre finished reading an article, the rest of the articles wont load so you have to exit the app and restart it. Ridiculous

Nice update

I read the Orlando Sentinel on the app every day. I am enjoying this arrangement a lot. It is easier to find articles and loads quickly. Nice job!

New Orlando sentinel app

I want it to look like a newspaper! I dont like this format at all!

Contains stories over 3 years old!

This app could be great if many of the stories were not so old. I just read 2 stories about Romney Election spending and how much the rich pay in taxes from 2012! Why would I be interested in 3 year old stories?

Overall a good local news app

I like this app as I dont read the paper. I can easily find out whats going on locally. The news stories are quick and well written and the text is a perfect size to read on a phone screen (larger than the Associated Press app).

Not Worth a Subscription

The content is good, not even close to great, but certainly does not justify a $4.99 per month subscription (the cheapest available). If the articles were written better, with fewer grammatical and spelling errors, it would be worth paying up to $1.99 a month. As it is now, they are charging premium pricing for average content. I wasnt a business major, but I know thats a horrible model.

Changed Rules With No Notice

This app continues to disappoint. They have gone to a 20 article per month limit for reading without a subscription. They provided no notice and simply started to withhold the articles. Deleted the app and am using USA Today and AP News instead for quality news and good app experiences.

Horrible - about to delete

I can get better news for free from one of the local TV station apps. Limiting to 20 stories a month or making some stories premium etc is just petty.

Ok news+BuggyApp+Limits=Deleted

Do not waste your time with this application. The news articles are ok and some of them provide a good read. Other than that one shred of a positive note, this application robs you of your own time and then asks you for your own money. The articles that feature pictures are just galleries full of irrelevant photos that have nothing to do with the article you are reading. To put the cherry on top of this horrible hand spun disappointing shake, they now have a 20 article limit a month. It is almost laughable how desperate the Orlando Sentinel has become. Do yourself a favor and download the News13 app.

Horrible update.

I will be deleting this one. They cant seem to make up their minds. Now we get access to 20 articles a month then they shut you off. I think I will download one of the TV channel apps for my local news.

Worthless

This app is ridiculous. Its comprised of almost all premium stories which require a subscription but are shared for free on Facebook or found through a simple Google search. Dont waste your time. Orlando sentinel should be embarrassed. Ill get my news elsewhere. App Version: 3.7.2 iOS Version: 9.2.1 Device Name: iPhone - Stephen Bender
