## Merced Sun Reviews in United States

### *---- "Unable to Read Articles with Paid Subscription"
The app has gone downhill. I pay for a digital subscription and nearly every article is inaccessible because it tells me I can’t read it without the subscription I already have. This happens across multiple devices, after uninstalling and reinstalling, using the in app clear cache, logging out and in. Nothing fixes it and I can’t read the articles I pay for. Customer support is completely unhelpful and only recommends I do things in my web browser and won’t recognize it’s an app specific issue.
-- SidraWindemere, 2022-12-05

### *---- "Poorly functioning App"
Not only am I unable to access articles on the app, the facility of tech support is poor and not functioning. I would not recommend the app, and in would cancel my subscription.
-- non-verbal customer, 2022-07-29

### *---- "McClatchy news paper co."
Pleas stop delivery of value market place free ads.
-- kerquez, 2020-03-25

### *---- "Paywall now."
I’ll get news elsewhere. Maybe I won’t see the same three articles for a week. Uninstalled
-- tech support user, 2019-12-05

### *---- "Went ahead and deleted your app won’t pay if I’m watching commercials"
Bye bye
-- Saenzwftw, 2018-09-05

### ***-- "Not Bad"
The app isn’t bad but doesn’t update soon enough. The FB account actually has more up to date local news posts. Bottom line it’s free and can’t complain.
-- Suzee Q 212, 2018-04-12

### *---- "Absolutely terrible"
If I could give this app and newspaper 0 stars I would! In a town of 80,000 people the Sun-Star staff never even gets close to telling the real stories that happen in this city! Their sports section is non existent and they don't update any stories previously posted! I'm not sure why the sun star is still even a paper! Horrible horrible horrible. It's sad that we as a community put up with such garbage. Now they want to focus on national news? I can get that from way better sources. Step up and do some actual work.
-- SteveTheNose, 2017-08-03

### *---- "Current format of online Sun Star"
This APP appears to be useless, why do I only get yesterday's news?
Nothing is posted up to date.
Format is too cumbersome to be effective. Used to be easier to find articles. Thank
-- Doctor Sandy, 2017-06-02

### ***** "I love this!"
I really like the new look of this app but even more, I appreciate the content. I like having a reliable place to find out local news plus get links to world, national and entertainment news. I don't live locally so it is great to have a place to find out what's happening in Merced and then get convenient links to the broader picture. I think you guys are doing a great job providing a needed service. Thanks for helping to keep us informed.
-- Kassi P, 2017-05-27

### ****- "Great App"
Looks great, would be nice if when a notification for a particular story is pressed, it goes to the given article. I would still like to see those changes but I'm upping my review because of all the other changes made to bring this app current. It's great!
-- Sharkcuban, 2017-05-10
