User Reviews

Pros: well-designed and fast UI; AI/keyword summaries; e-Paper mode resembles a real newspaper with readable fonts; seamless reading. Cons: intrusive ads (auto-playing video and pop-ups); frequent crashes/hangs, including startup crashes; unreliable content loading (articles fail to load, home page errors); subscription/login issues and cross-device access problems. Some users also report high storage usage and regional access problems. Overall, improvements should prioritize stability and ad control while preserving the AI features and enhanced reading experience.

Please stop those auto playing video ads. IT ANNOYING as it pauses my music on the iPhone. I can’t listen to music while reading.

Well designed and fast. The new keyword summary feature is awesome!

This is the best version of ST I have used so far. The AI summary offers helpful snippets. I like the e-Paper in this update; it resembles reading a real newspaper and allows me to click on articles for more detailed reading, which helps with font size preferences. One small suggestion: apply the same AI summary features to each article 😉
