The newspaper keeps me up to date on what’s happening in Tucson and the Valley. The only item I am missing are the former comics. They were entertaining and I often laughed . I don’t like the current crop as I find them distasteful and unfunny. ### 5/5 — Starting the day with the Daily Star *2025-08-03, version 3.18.20* Great articles with up to date and late breaking news of our area and the world too. ### 5/5 — Stable and easy *2025-07-10, version 3.18.20* Much better than going with the browser. Full page is easier to read and more stable. ### 3/5 — Convienance *2025-05-26, version 3.18.20* Reading News is Easier ### 4/5 — AZ Star app AOK *2025-05-24, version 3.17.04* veryhappy ### 5/5 — Great Paper *2025-04-23, version 3.17.04* Recently moved from Michigan to Oracle. Love the Star. It has a great mix of international and local news. ### 3/5 — Star Review *2025-04-22, version 3.17.04* I certainly do enjoy my time with the paper each morning. ### 5/5 — Great *2025-04-08, version 3.17.04* Thanks for the easy to use newspaper app. ### 5/5 — Best place for Tucson news *2025-03-16, version 3.17.04* My go-to for deep reporting on local issues. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-01-20, version 3.17.04* Awesome, love the app. ### 5/5 — Love the app *2025-01-16, version 3.15.00* When we decided to cancel our subscription due to rising costs we opted for the digital version and are very happy with the app. The page looks like the printed page, like being able to zoom in on photos and small print. Also easy to send articles to other digital devices ot send to printer. We want to support our local journalism and the digital version works best for us. Easy and portable on iPad- can read anywhere! ### 5/5 — Great news *2024-12-19, version 3.15.00* I love the local news, don’t let this paper be taken over by a hedge fund! Tucson needs you! ### 5/5 — Easy to Use *2024-11-25, version 3.15.00* The Tucson Daily Star app is easy to use. I can find the the different sections easily, easy to increase the font size, navigate the individual article , and all around the best newspaper apps I use. ### 5/5 — Very informative *2024-11-14, version 3.15.00* I like to spend my money reading WSJ app; it is easy to follow and very informative about every thing you care about. ### 5/5 — Switching to online *2024-11-02, version 3.15.00* I’m very “old school” so it took a few days to get used to reading the paper online. It’s actually easier and more enjoyable to read the Star this way. ### 5/5 — It looks like the paper!! *2024-10-15, version 3.15.00* I find the Tucson.com app and website terrible, which makes me doubly appreciative of this app. It shows me the daily edition of the paper, in the same format as the hatd copy. If it weren’t for the availability of the e-edition, I’m not sure I’d keep my ADS subscription at all. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lame when it works *2024-08-08, version 3.15.00* I dropped this app for several years. Hoping they improved things, I signed up again. Still garbage. It is a horrible interface with a slow, obnoxious, and unnecessary “prove you’re not a robot” login. It that doesn’t seem to coordinate with their web page site. Constant login issues. I’ve had enough. ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2023-01-29* If this app would open its great, but it won’t. After signing in, the screen goes blank and stays that way. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling it but no go. It’s been like this for weeks. It’s very frustrating. 6 days later-Update. The developer answered my review and gave me a phone number to call for help. I called the number and the person was not able to solve the problem. He told me I would be contacted by phone by someone would help me. 2 days later-nothing. Not only that, my emails aren’t responded to anymore either! Customer service at its worst. As a side note, my family has been subscribing to the Star since 1968. I was a Star paper boy in the 60’s. I’m about done. **Developer response:** I apologize for the frustration, please contact digital support at 1-800-695-4492, for suggestions on how to improve the apps performance on your device. ### 1/5 — Works once on a while. *2022-05-22, version 3.2.64* This ap is just not set up to work on an iPhone. I’ve spent hours on the phone with Tec support (not in this country) and bottom line they can’t fix it. It knocks you out after about 2 weeks and then you have to work around it. Also we are a 2 person family so getting another set up was a nightmare. I read it now on the browser and gave up with the ap. ### 1/5 — Okay, not great *2021-10-19, version 3.2.64* I wish AZ Daily Star would pull their head out Purdue using a reliable app. The paper is okay, the only local full fledged paper available and is necessary for local news. The national news is pulled from the same wires all the other newspapers use. Their coverage is generally superficial on both fronts. Their app is garbage. It’ll open up with no content, or with content that is illegible. It is often slow, but they seem happy with that. Why maintain high standards if you have no viable competitor? ### 2/5 — Slow demise *2026-06-11, version 3.19.23* So disappointed that eADN is down to 4 days a week. Considering cancelling. ### 2/5 — Late stories *2026-04-01, version 3.19.23* Timely stories are always late! We read the digital copy and would like stories ASAP! ### 2/5 — AZ Star Review *2025-01-28, version 3.17.04* We read the paper online as we travel (retired) and always like to know local news, UA sports, and we loved to end with the comics - we have about 8 that we followed regularly and laughed together teach morning. Now that those are gone, we feel a genuinely huge loss - so much in the country is demoralizing right now but the comics made us laugh and we dearly miss them. National news - we read NYT and WAPO for that since the Star just carries AP wire stories. Also, we almost always have to go to Tucson.com for Wildcat news after a game…..not sure why there is always a one day delay on coverage…. ### 2/5 — Ios14 buggy. Doesn’t fully load pages *2020-09-25* I installed Ios14 on my IPad 2 days ago. I have no other issues with it as of now. However, Arizona Daily Star does not full load pages without some help. A page will flash load all content , then the actual paper news articles disappear. If I touch the area where there should be an article it will show the article in the lower screen. If I then X that out it will then show the article in its proper place. I have to do this multiple times on each edition. I’ve had this service for a long time and never experienced this kind of failure to perform to my expectations. PLEASE FIX! Thankyou. ### 2/5 — Always restarting on page 1 *2018-02-12* Works fine if you read the paper cover to cover without ever switching to another app. However, in real use it has a very annoying habit of returning to page 1 of the current edition! So if you’re in the middle of the sports section and switch to another app, when you return to the paper it’ll update and return to page 1, forcing you to try and find where you left off. It doesn’t always do this when switching apps but usually does This is even more annoying if you are trying to read a prior edition of the paper. Switch apps and when you return it takes you to page 1 of the current paper. Ugh. ### 3/5 — Password Re-Entry *2026-05-03, version 3.19.23* Does the APP really need me to re-enter my password every two or three days? It’s always been a finicky APP when it comes to loading pages, which I can overlook, but the password business is a sheer and necessary annoyance. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — great *2026-05-11, version 3.19.23* Very easy to navigate. Very easy to see. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-03-02, version 3.18.27* I love reading the newspaper using this app. It’s just like holding the Star in my hands but on my iPad. App works well for me. I haven’t had any of the problems I read about here, and I’ve been using it for years. ### 5/5 — Good app to have *2026-02-28, version 3.18.27* It’s very easy to use ### 5/5 — Why is the app so slow *2026-02-24, version 3.18.27* I really like having the paper on my iPad but why is downloading so slow. With a download speed of 12 Mbps, I would expect the paper to be able to download in a minute or so - like the other papers I read. However, it takes 8 to 20 minutes to download the Star. Can't the download be optimized? ### 5/5 — Easy peasy! *2026-02-19, version 3.18.27* I love reading the Daily Star on line. It is so easy and every item can be made bigger for easier reading. The paper reports the latest news and I enjoy all the morning puzzles. ### 5/5 — Easy to Use *2025-12-26, version 3.18.27* The Tucson Daily Star app is easy to use. I can find the the different sections easily, easy to increase the font size, navigate the individual article , and all around the best newspaper apps I use. ### 5/5 — Good paper *2025-12-13, version 3.18.27* I enjoy reading ### 5/5 — As Daily Star *2025-12-13, version 3.18.27* Works like a charm. Able to get my paper every day.on days I forget, able to call up past editions. Love it when I travel, too. ### 5/5 — Easy to use. *2025-08-20, version 3.18.20* This is easy to read and comprehend.So far so good. Nasty hurdles in the past. If they op up again, I will be gone. J.
