User Reviews

Reviews for Star Gazette on iOS are mixed but lean negative. Recurring issues include frequent crashes and instability, intrusive ads with implied data sharing, and content limitations (not full stories and not equal to the print edition). Some users appreciate easy readability, straightforward navigation, early access to stories, and hometown coverage, but these positives are outweighed by performance problems and privacy concerns. The app would benefit from improved stability, clearer subscription controls (pause), fewer ads, fuller content, and closer alignment with the print edition.

Pros

Navigation is straightforward; articles are concise and informative.
Easy to read.
Early access to up-to-date information before the print edition.
Ability to see hometown news from afar.

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability, including the app shutting down on launch.
Ad overload after subscribing and concerns about data sharing/selling.
Content limitations: not full stories and not the print edition.
Poor navigation and subscription management UX (hard to navigate; difficult to pause subscription).
Slow loading and performance issues (long load times; hangs; disconnects).

Recent reviews

I read the star gazette every morning, including the four months I am on vacation in Florida for the winter. I am becoming disenchanted however because your news, supported by the USA today, has just become so far left. I am a middle of the road republican, but truly just in the middle. When I listen to Republicans talk about the far left media, the star gazette is a good example of it. Not a single middle of the road journalistic report. I am considering canceling my subscription.
