Welcome to a new app experience, we have optimized our app and giving it a facelift! This faster iOS native app now has the following new features:

Your News:
Provide personalized recommendations for content based on user preferences. Users will be allowed to customize the content they want to engage with by selecting the topics they are truly interested in. By going to the “Your News” tab the user can bypass the noise of all that is published and home in on the content they want

Saved Articles:
Save feature that allows users to save articles or other content they are interested in for later reading or reference.Push notifications will remind users to read their saved articles or suggest related content

Custom Push Notifications:
The user can select what topics they want to be notified about which makes for a much less intrusive experience.

Top Navigation Bar:
A top navigation bar lets the user switch between sections by swiping or tapping.

Enews in-app:
Desire the newspaper experience? No need to open a separate app! By simply going to Settings and selecting E-News the user can browse the Digital Replica of the day’s paper.

Offline Reading:
This feature allows users to enable offline reading from Settings. Offline “Reading Preferences” can also be customized for Settings.

Swipe Left:
Instead of going back to the main section to find more articles, users have the option to simply swipe, immediately opening other articles in the Section.

Follow Topics:
A user will be shown articles on topics they are following. To follow select “follow” at the article level and related articles will gain relevancy and be shown more frequently. Just as easily “Unfollow”

Needs work

When switching from reading the article to an embedded link and then back this darn app always takes one to the beginning of the article. Frustrating. I want to go back to the part of the article where the link was like I can do in almost all other news apps. Small town programming?

Please redesign

The phone app has many glitches and gives a less than desirable news outlet. Please consider investing some money into a full redesign to enhance the customer experience. Thank you in advance for your time.

Well Worth The Subscription

I am SO happy with this purchase. I HATE the “local news” online that only showed me SF, and neighboring areas for Bay Area news. Finding this app let me get the local new I WANT to read about! Best purchase! Love it!

Waste of time

I can skim and read a paper version of the sentinel in ten minutes. Ten minutes on the app pushes ads, and offers old articles, while interesting, are old news. I may only find three articles to read, and wonder where the other forty articles are, and what i missed.

Obituaries used to sell ads

This app is so annoying I have to steel myself to open it. I am canceling before the weekend ends. Too bad, because I want local news and find the monthly cost of receiving it at my door unreasonably high. Turning to the obituary of an acquaintance this week, I was shocked to see an ad for wrinkled knees instead of my friend’s face directly under his name instead of his picture! What insensitivity! If I were the family, I’d be horrified!!! Disgusting and in my opinion unforgivable.

Confusing

I don’t understand. Why doesn’t it update? I am an online subscriber and I can’t get the news? I like the way it is organized.

Horrible

Dated and old news

Hard on eyes

1. Too-teeny font on "News" front page - make 'me much bigger, please! 2. Too-light-grey print in articles - make it much darker, please!

Really bad

Horrible. Home Page doesn't have refresh option so you're stuck looking at old news unless you restart your phone. How the Sentinel stays in biz remains a mystery

Can't get the news when I want it

This app is so annoying. It only lets you read a certain amount of articles before it asks you to sign into your press account if you have a subscription to the news paper. If I had a subscription, I wouldn't need the app. I tried the subscription but had to cancel it because it never got delivered to my second floor apartment. If you don't have a press account, the app kicks you out of the article. I think it only allows you to read a certain amount of articles for free per month because after awhile it doesn't require you to sign in. It's an on going cycle. I end up reading the articles for free on the website. This app is irritating and I'm deleting it. I can read the articles on my desktop or smart phone browser instead.
