Ratings and reviews

This app has the most aggressive ads format I've ever experienced. It displays full page ads when you first open the app and frequently when viewing articles. Some video ads can't be closed and has to be viewed in its entirety. On top of that, the FULL PAGE AD has to be closed to continue reading the article. It's very annoying using this app. Being a subscriber makes no difference. It's not an enjoyable experience reading the news with this app. I guess that's why it's called Star-"ADVERTISER".

The updated app MAKES you view the ads, click to close audio, then click to close video. Option to do that doesn't appear for a long time after the ads start running. I'm a subscriber! I should not have to deal with these. Not gonna renew my subscription when it ends. The reporting isn't as good as it was a few years ago anyway.

It's more convenient to read the news on my phone rather than toting the newspaper around. I like the print replica version as it's very familiar. For persons who are vision- impaired, they can read the newspaper on their computer and increase the print size. And there's no more sneaking out to the curb in my pajamas to pick up the paper!
