Overall, a good app, with some issues
I appreciate the Star Tribune app. I like the layout of the front “page,” it’s great to see what the editors find top stories. One can page down to get a nice glance about what’s happening. Also, the sections are easy to get to. The videos don’t execute well on the iPhone. Most often, one can’t hear the sound even if the sound on the app and the phone are at max volume. That’s a problem that’s been happening since the start of the app years ago. Also, the internal search engine is very poor - even with the recent upgrade. I can type in word-for-word the paper version of the article headline or the on-line version (they’re sometimes different) and I won’t get the article. I’m much better off getting out of the app, and doing a Google search. Also, I wish that certain regular columns had their own page - like the Ask Eric (or whatever it’s called.) If one searches for the author, one gets a hodge-podge of stuff - some related to that column, most not. And one doesn’t see the latest article often. This has also been a problem since the start.
