User reviews

Great newspaper. Unusable app. Never recognizes this long-time subscriber. I signed in one time to the New York Times app and it always recognizes me. The password situation is impossible. The call center couldn't fix anything. They had an email address for me from 15 years ago.

I appreciate that Orlando Sentinel is reporting on central Florida news that I care about. Sadly, their app is garbage. I'm already signed into the app, but any article that I try to read opens in a new browser instance within the app where I'm NOT signed in. Of course, the log-in process is broken, so there is no access for me. What amature work. Since this garbage app merely opens a web page, I'm going to uninstall it and just use the website directly.

MAYBE THE POOREST NEWS APP EVER. IT STINKS! After paying fully, I was tired of getting "You've reached your monthly free article limit." I complained & the apparently inept OS (Orlando Sentinel) management never responded. The dismal 2.6 rating here speaks for itself. Read all the complaints, and see why the OS seems to be dying. The deterioration has gone on for years. Does anyone on the Orlando Sentinel management team care? (Apparently not. No responses. Too lazy?)
