Ratings and reviews

From a paid subscriber: Please hide the top ribbons with "Star 55th Anniversary Logo" and "The Star logo ribbon" when we scroll down the app. These annoying and unnecessary ribbons have reduced my screen size significantly (even with a Samsung Ultra device with large screen) while browsing articles. Can your developer download reputable news apps like Bloomberg and CNN, and see how it is done? Top ribbons should only appear when we scroll up, and hidden when we scroll down!

One star is still too high-lousy app keep on making it difficult to log in, indicating paswword problem. after changing to new password, indicated user not registered. when try registering again, indicated cannot use username and password because there's already a user using the email address.i want a refund since i paid for annual subscription !

Page always go to "top" after you read the article. Hassle as need to scroll back down. "Customise menu" not saved after exit causing it to sort out back to original arrangement. Good journalist but stupid apps.
