## Review summary

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram News app is widely criticized for instability and reliability issues. Repeated crashes and updates that prevent opening, plus pages that won’t load or repeatedly cycle, are common. Users also report login/subscription prompts despite active subscriptions, and an ad-heavy interface that disrupts reading. Some note content loading problems and stories opening in a browser rather than in-app. Many feel the new version is worse than the old one, though a few users report temporary improvements after reinstalls. Overall, reliability is the major concern.

### Pros

- Keeps you updated on Fort Worth news.
- Good for casual browsing.
- Longstanding local newspaper trusted for Fort Worth news.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and the app won’t open after updates.
- Articles and pages fail to load or require multiple reloads (spinning wheel / loading issues).
- Repeated login/subscription prompts despite existing subscription.
- Intrusive ads and ad-heavy interface that blocks content.
- New version is buggy and many users prefer the old app.
