I will go on this app with 70 % battery then 5 minutes into reading , my battery has plummeted to 40% Not happy :( ### 4/5 — Ok but needs some help *2021-04-03* Has anyone noticed that the main menu at the top is white text ona white background? Otherwise the app functions well, although there isn’t a lot of news in there. ### 1/5 — Won’t open after update *2020-02-14, version 6.2.6* After latest update the app won’t open ### 1/5 — Adverts *2020-01-28, version 6.2.5* The apps really good but the adverts drive you mad. Even when you scroll through it opens a new window on the internet for the advert ### 2/5 — Old news *2019-08-18, version 5.4.2* Why are we still seeing the paper from 13th August ? The paper is not changing daily. Please sort it, it's annoying. ### 1/5 — Or worth it *2019-08-16, version 6.0.2* Grammar within posts are terrible Stories are repeated Never anything new worth reading Some of the stories I have seen have been less than 2 lines Just get the paper ### 1/5 — Why??? *2019-08-15, version 6.0.2* Why revamp the app without testing? The app now crashes as soon as a story opens. If you do manage to open a story, the text is sat on top of more text so can’t be read anyway. Please fix! ### 5/5 — Da do Ron *2019-03-22, version 5.4.2* Good mixture off news. As long as not reading about Jordan ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fed up with misleading headlines *2025-10-12, version 9.5.7* Click on a headline and the actual story is nowhere near the headline. Just to make you look. Tricked too many times ### 1/5 — Fed up with misleading headlines *2025-04-03, version 9.4.2* Click on a headline and the actual story is nowhere near the headline. Just to make you look. Tricked too many times ### 1/5 — The adverts! *2023-12-16, version 9.2.0* Can’t scroll without getting redirected to Burger King app. Really annoying. ### 1/5 — Can’t log in *2023-10-13* The app won’t let me log in and the reset password option gives a very strange web link that doesn’t work on any browser and I have tried many. Can’t even email them because the email button for that area doesn’t work!! ### 1/5 — Worst UX of all now! *2023-10-12, version 9.1.0* Why change the layout & menu’s? First BBC do it & everyone hates it which causes them to lose readers/visitors & now the Daily Star & local news pages owned by same group make drastic changes for the worse! Looks like it has been designed by interns with no idea of mobile app design at all (similar vein to the actual ‘journalists’ ripping stories from social media purely because someone is in their underwear or a faked Bigfoot video/picture). More journalistic integrity in my faeces than this rag! ### 1/5 — Krappp *2021-03-11, version 6.6.1* The Star is a low life newspaper dealing in smut and innuendo and all things rubbish You should employ Piers Morgan ### 1/5 — Not a great app *2020-12-29, version 6.5.3* They sensor anything controversial and block your posts , you cannot express your opinions at all , it’s a waste of time , ### 1/5 — Video clip headlines and excessive ads! *2020-10-25* I always end up closing ads after 10 seconds and skipping the video clips headlines. In some instances I even skip reading the articles or just close the app down. An option to skip an ad after 5 seconds should be in place at minimum. Boring ads that aren’t even targeted personally will drive readers away. ### 1/5 — Not really news! *2020-09-27, version 6.4.3* Complete lack of news and very old articles. This cannot be called news. It’s also soooo slow to move between articles it’s painful ### 1/5 — App Crashes *2020-07-10, version 6.3.1* I am using an Apple 11 Promax iPhone and when I try and open the app. The App crashes. I am using iOS 13.5.1 software on my phone and there is no newer update for either the phone or app on the Apple Store??? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — John Solly *2022-10-30, version 8.1.2* Excellent ### 5/5 — Love it it it *2021-12-15* Best laughs of the day. It really makes my day the head lines and the story story’s are the best ### 5/5 — Not a bad source of news *2021-10-21* Enjoyed this paper so far ### 5/5 — More notifications *2020-08-13* I get more notifications than other publishers - plenty of pics and clear page design ### 5/5 — Daily star ! *2020-06-03* It’s only a paper , like any thing else just some thing to read ! Weather it’s ture or not is another thing ! ### 5/5 — Ian Holms ........OAP! *2020-05-01* I have several other news apps inc the Times. Found this by mistake(?) but it really is EXCELLENT. Very interesting reports etc etc. 10 out of 10 ### 5/5 — News *2020-04-23* Outstanding 👍🏾 ### 5/5 — Well presented *2020-03-26, version 6.2.8* Topical and fun ### 5/5 — My Best app “ *2020-03-01, version 6.2.7* have enjoyed the masterly and simplicity featured, definitely a 5 star as far as I am concerned ### 5/5 — Great paper *2020-01-21, version 6.2.4* My partner had this on his mini iPad.then it stopped working ..so bought a iPad Air2 for him-and it works brilliantly --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
