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         Hard on eyes Blindweaver
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     Really bad Surfer eight
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     Can t get the news when I want it Caliola
I want to read the local news each day yet this app often does not work I am unable to access the full articles I have had it for a long time updating whenever necessary and if it is not one problem it is another I will still read the Sentinel and support the writers yet Geesh could this app please be designed better It is frustrating         Not working again SC953
Awful UI Bad ad placement Asks for you to login Why put up with all this only to read news stories that are barely edited Full of typos and wrong information They don t call it the Santa Cruz Senile for nothing     Just bad Mach Phyve
Not free to view anymore     Zero stars m936tt
I live in the Cruz and appreciate the local news available online The first problem is that there are full screen ads that interfere with scrolling through the news If you land on an ad you can t scroll past it unless you go to a story above or below the ad In addition the news doesn t update on a regular basis It s also a combo of national press service stories and some local stories All in all this is a lousy app Don t bother downloading it     Good news source intolerable ads Turista sc
Does not refresh stories t times Not worth the space     Poor SCKellyC
Crashes a lot Difficult to tab down to read Most top news is Sports related Day four of seeing the same articles on this app A newspaper should be updated regularly daily at least Disappointing         Inconsistently updated Mo mo?$&@"'?,.-/:;100
Then they changed the format and it takes pretty long to load any story     It used to be good GiantBud
Really just blasts ads at you Hardly any local news at all what is there is horribly organized if at all and interspersed with filler Just awful     Beyond horrible Eskim023
The new format seems to be designed to make the user confuse a news story with an add by making them the same tile and mixing them in with the news Super lame     Add or story Crapapp7306
updated for vers 6 0 this was supposed to be a performance enhancing release but in practice it s the opposite it s slower and less fluid in scrolling it also needs more scrolling since the huge pictures mean fewer headlines can fit in one screenful these changes make the app less pleasant to use i also had to disable cellular data on this app to prevent it from chewing up my quota had written an easy way to avoid the annoying paywall on the web version of the sentinel the quality of the journalism is uneven at best but if you re gonna read the sentinel the app is a reasonable way to do it         getting worse dfong63
The app now has a lot more pop up advertisement The sliding navigation is inconsistent And the overall loading time of each article is much slower You fill the online version with negative news that happened in the Bay Area regarding violence and gossip which we didnt used to get It makes you guys come off like TMZ Although I do like the consistent tech updates Also on the main menu most of your headlines are cutoff so you can only partially see it Please change the format so I can go back to using it Thanks     Not Happy Peaful Being
Absolutely horrible Change it back     New format June 2014 SC Loc
Content is excellent good way to keep up on local happenings Ads Yes but how else does this content and app continue to exist                     Great source for local news Road W.
Please fix There is no point in having a news app that doesn t publish news     Not updating Purrrkat
This app was great until last week when it stopped updating     Not updating Jahill70
News is days to weeks old Really bad design and performance     Needs major upgrades MrBionic
The news stories are always 3 4 days old even when the app says all content is current and up to date A daily newspaper should have daily updates Not enough access to local news The top 10 and breaking news sections are repetitive Each should have unique content The new ads are annoying and random The app is useless when the website had current and better content     Out of date Sctrouble3
Beyond what has already been mentioned the iPhone sentinel app needs a link to contact someone who can update the site with the day s articles Too many times I have expected to read the day s articles only to find them oddly absent from the app Irritating And there is no link on the app to give this feedback Also as a subscriber I feel that I should not have to endure all the ads Poorly designed app     This app needs major upgrades Reviewnow123
This app has potential I don t mind the advertisements they are short and I realize the sentinel needs to make money to support there journalist However this app is sporadically updated and the multimedia features are minimal             Could be better Tmartiniz
It s good for some of the local news However it is limited on some of the pictures There is more than an acceptable amount of advertising It would get 3 stars if the Sentinel website didn t limit the amount of times I can view it         Cool but Bobby Hopkins
Old news and annoying ads can zoom on pictures or no pics at all     Annoying ads and never updates JoyGrof
Just got blasted with a video with sound advertisement The pop up ads are bad enough Now with sound Bye bye I just deleted this app     Ads with sound Goodbye RDCSV
A good source for local news                 SCS app TemujinK
Wonderful Use the app frquently                     Santa Cruz Sentinel Sky on ore
This app is really good for seeing the daily news stories A few things could be updated you need a comment section or to sync with the comments from the online version of the paper getting community feed back is the best part about the online sentinel Also a paid version with no adds would be great i would gladly pay                 Good start Joeylonglegs
I m reluctant to update my phone operating system and have my phone slow down to useless speed Now the app no longer works Bummer     No longer supports my phone Walshman2000
Great app for the local news                     Read it every morning Ptrgdmn
Thanks for making this available to us If anything add more photos                     Great App GBoyIII
I could live without the pop ups and ads every time I go to the next article Sometimes I wonder if its actually up to date It could be better         Pop ups Jen & Hailey
Love it for the local news but the breaking news tab is usually days behind the top10 stories tab             Not bad but needs improvements Cruzroots
Local good stuff                     Great sanchez831
Love this app if your a local its a great way to stay up on whats happening around town If your not a local but love SC its a great way to keep up Honestly a little skeptical when it comes to buying apps but havent made a smarter choice than with this one when it comes to getting local news                     Must have if Santa Cruz Resident gabe.2828
I love the simplicity Great ap                     Sentinel Review Mong73
I like this app works well but I can never see photos You can t zoom or click on them to make them larger             Like it bad pics thejdangerl
This app is so easy to use and it replaces all my other news apps                     I don t need any more news information apps I love listening to the radio
Informative and user friendly                     Two thumbs up Joe bond 007

Search plz to                     Cops and corts plz Z monney
You did a good job a Good job My problem is only with the interface between App format and the sentinel webpage For example I am unable to find the end of one the issues that i was reding once I switched over to the App I am hoping that you will find a way to catagorize those reports that may not immediately transfer over into a category and possibly place them in an extras scroll box This will keep your format tight And professional as well as allow for the admittedly smaller followers but invested to you portion of the population to access what is important to them                 Not quit what the people want but could be great Apparently a sucker
This ap has more up to date news for Santa Cruz County compared to KION and KSBW Recommend it                     Best news app Beats other local news apps Anubis Dozer
