Ratings and reviews

First of all, the news articles in this app are really good. As a 5th grade broadcaster (english), I can say that Philstar is good because I know the news in here is factual !! no regrets downloading this hehe.

The app needs updates and bug fixes. It does not load the latest stories; the ones displayed on its feeds are from hours, or even days ago. The push notifications are nice, but does not work when you click them. I have to go to the website to read the story. The app is nice to have, but I uninstalled it for now and will be going back to the website until they fix the app's issues.

App has decent user interface, but sometimes confusing to navigate. How do I go to the other sections? It looks clean, and actually gives free access without asking me to sign in to anything. Overall okay but can be improved

What’s new

Enhanced UI and performance improvements.
