My Hometown Newspaper

Love the local news coverage, the entertainment/eats beat and TCU electronic coverage. It’s unsurpassed. Like the national coverage.

7 days a week

Bring back print edition 7 days a week, app is very clunky, not well designed, just want to read the paper as printed

Print Edition is a Disgrace

I subscribe to the e-edition of several daily newspapers. The Star-Telegram is horrible compared to the others. Only three days of the week are available in this format. Also, when reading an article that is continued on another page you have to go page by page to get to it. I will not renew when my subscription expires.

Need updating!

Good paper! Would like to see the print edition daily. Challenging to navigate in between the articles. Also, the comics need to be updated to include Family Circus, Peanuts, Blondie and Beetle Bailey.

Texas Rangers

Poor coverage of the Texas Rangers

Home delivery

I miss it so much

Love the Democrats

Why don’t you just rename your newspaper? We love Democrats.

Interesting Articles

Enjoying staying in the loop of Fort Worth going’s on.

Ft worth star telegram

I’ve tried everything to download the app & it won’t open!
What can I do to get the paper????

New version

Won’t download.when I go to download app, it takes me back to install now

Update

Your new update is awful. Will not open. If try to open it keeps going back to page that says update. I can’t even get into edition because it will not open anything. Go back to the old way.

New update

New update 3/326 requires a 17.0 operating system. People with older iPads can no longer get the paper. Terrible! Are y’all selling iPads now!

App is awful

The app is frozen on Tuesday and will not advance. I hate this. And when I called for Digital access. It was somebody in India, or someplace like that and he was not helpful because he could not see what I was seeing.

Used to work, now it doesn’t

Newspaper opens but majority of articles do not open when you swipe to next page. You get the circling star in middle of page. Going to Content bubble for next article doesn’t load either. Reloading daily paper doesn’t improve article loading. Letting it sit on circling star doesn’t retrieve article to be loaded. I can read fewer articles now than I used to with paper edition

Glitchy

All stories do not load while scrolling through the articles. I expect to only access half the articles seamlessly. Time is too short to mess with this. Please fix it.

New version very bug filled

The so called improved version E-edition is terrible. Frequent crashes, blurred text, ad at bottom blocks the page, pages are slow loading due to ad at bottom, frequent errors saying page won’t load, when exiting the e edition it no longer return to where you left off like the older version. You messed it up bad this time, Star Telegram. Please fix the bugs. Reading the E edition is a laborious and frustrating activity now.
Addendum
After fixing the above issues it worked well but a major issue has returned. Tapping on a story results in a spinning wheel and no story loads. Calling the paper was of no help as their only suggestion was to delete the app and reinstall it, which didn’t work.

Could be better.

Sometimes the pages freeze, sometimes the next story you click on ends up opening a browser window instead of in the app, so you need to login again on the browser, and then if you close the browser window, yet another link to an article takes you back to the browser window again, then you log into the browser window again. Also, it doesn't remember what text size you chose, probably something to do with the articles opening outside the app in a browser window

And the content could be better- not a lot of hard stories, it’s mostly click bait articles, inflammatory opinion pieces and crime porn.

They used to have a problem renewing monthly subscriptions - I would always be told my subscription expired every new billing period, but I think they fixed that.

Trash

This app has turned to garbage! It keeps asking me to login or subscribe when I am already logged in and I have a recurring subscription through Apple. Canceled the subscription today!

New format

I DO NOT like the new format. I am going to cancel my subscription!!

No more newspaper

All I want to do is read the newspaper like it’s a newspaper. The new approach takes so much more effort to skim through articles. This may be the end for us.
