The Desert Sun Customer Insights

1. I see this has been going on for months, from other reviews several months ago, and wonder what they are thinking? Under "what's new" the developer says "as always, fixing bugs and improving performance." As always?? Great, now how about fixing one major bug that will be a deal-breaker the next time subscription renewal comes up.FEEDBACK is cherry picked by company.

2. I like to support newspapers, especially local ones, and can put up with the ads and clickbait, but having to sign in every time will be a deal breaker when subscription renewal comes up.

3. Feedback option only allowed or working for those opinion letters or articles the Desert Sun wants feedback on.

4. The Feedback option is turned off or not working on certain articles opinion letters.

5. 1 star seems too much when news paper stops the feedback on certain op Ed pieces articles.Annoying that it is always telling me to subscribe.

6. Why can't the app just stay signed in!Crash time after time trying to open articles.

7. WARNING! This app can even cause an epileptic seizure when it often 50% of the time fails to load content and starts into a rapid black/white flashing episode.

8. Time to unsubscribe.Can't manage my subscription.

9. I sign in, and it didn't remember me next time.

10. I get a notification on my phone that sounds interesting, click to open the app, and get a popup that says I have one more article coming.

11. The app works OK, except you have to sign in every time.
