Comments on Helsingin Sanomat for Android

★★★★☆ Heikki Ojanen · Sep 26, 2026

The most recent versions have started to drain battery way faster than how it used to be. Maybe due to the big flashy ads? Anyway, it's a nuisance now as I really have to consider the battery life when having the app open. Hoping things get better soon. Otherwise, it's still a solid app. Works for me.

★☆☆☆☆ Siegmund · Jun 2, 2026

Latest version (on June 2, 2026) suddenly requires Google Play Services.

★☆☆☆☆ Matias Hätönen · Feb 28, 2025

Hate the new ui with "ukulele" on the front page as it feels like it's being pushed on me because you want users on it. Also seeing advertisements when paying for a subscription is awful. Especially when the advertisement fills the whole page. Terrible ux

★☆☆☆☆ Rasmus · Oct 22, 2026

Privacy now costs extra, even for paying subscribers. HS now requires you to either pay extra or accept advertising-related tracking. Sonoma's privacy policy describes collecting: - IP address and device identifiers - Articles you read and browsing activity - Device and browser information - Account, subscription and usage data. Some data may also be processed by third-party advertising partners. I already pay for journalism. I refuse to pay extra for privacy. Subscription cancelled.
