User Reviews

Reviews praise The Straits Times for reliable, up-to-date coverage and quality journalism, with useful features like personalised feeds and e-paper. However, users repeatedly report stability problems (crashes, lag), login difficulties, intrusive ads and ad-related misdirection, and device compatibility issues on some devices. Overall, content is valued, but performance and ad experiences are common pain points.

Trusted, reliable coverage spanning local, regional and global news.
News is up-to-date and timely.
Useful features like personalised feeds and e-paper.

Cons

Frequent crashes, bugs and lag leading to instability.
Login/authentication problems and sign-in loops.
Intrusive ads with challenging placement and misdirection (clicks to advertiser pages).
Device compatibility issues on some devices (e.g., Motorola phones, Huawei tablets).

Recent reviews

Luckily, i subscribe to the app instead of browsing the free version on nlb app. It really makes reading easier, & smoother even on hp format. And the article is also more in-depth than the free articles easily accessible online. Would be nicer though if photos can be zoomed in for a clearer pic. And also, I've subscribed and logged in to the app. Doesn't make sense in a high-tech Sg, the app can't auto let me read the articles locked behind a paywall.

I'm a subscriber to the ST, but somehow it keeps showing me the paywall on the app for subscriber only articles.. despite having logged in. Article access works fine on the web version. Major buggeratoon. Please do something to fix this soon!
