User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's design that mimics the traditional newspaper and its ease of navigation, especially for local news and remote access. However, multiple reviewers report unreliability with downloads, crashes, and inconsistent article access. Missing features like search, bookmarking, and puzzles, along with sign-in problems and dependency on physical copies for digital access, are major drawbacks. Customer support is often unhelpful, leading to frustrations despite enjoying the paper's content when the app functions properly.

Dropping stars because issues are sometimes unreadable (Continue Reading is too granular and Redownload paper is broken. "Support" is no help. Yes I'm on the latest update. No, reinstalling does not help. Just escalate to someone with a clue already. Whrn it does work, the Star's ePaper is an excellent reader. The best. When it doesn't, it's frustrating and you will not get the help you need to resolve it.

Somewhat unreliable as it doesn't always download, and sometimes doesn't have the "blue headlines". The overall interface is good though. Could use links to full stories, which are available on the Star website version. Could use a search function, especially for all saved issues. And it's a good, authoritative newspaper, so we'll worth living with any glitches.
