Comments on Calgary Sun for Android

★★★★☆ Kent · Mar 11, 2012

Touch could be better It seems like the touch flicking only works near the center of the screen on my Galaxy Nexus. Please fix the app, so touch works all over the app.

★★★★☆ A Google User · Dec 7, 2012

Like the new app The new Sun+ gives more content and more current content with the new upgrade. Don't like the fact when I turn to a new page I get a "downloading" notification. It is short but still annoying.

★★★★☆ Julian H · Sep 29, 2024

App seems to work okay. Really wish the bright white phone menu bar at the bottom of the screen would turn black in dark mode. It's obnoxiously bright in a dark room.

My link to calgary News from calgary of the world

★☆☆☆☆ kory k · Oct 11, 2015

Super glitchy and buggy. And they make you pay to get all the articles. Why would anyone pay for such a bad app when the herald and metro apps are free

★☆☆☆☆ greg boyko · Mar 21, 2026

Whenever I scroll through the articles the AliExpress ad comes up, and I have to back click multiple times, which usually ends up exiting the article I'm reading. This is very frustrating, so I've stopped reading the Sun News

★☆☆☆☆ James Knez · Nov 15, 2015

App My app is not working properly and takes forever to load. And all the ads? I am paying for it.
