### 1/5 — Keeps Locking Up On Newish IPad.

*2024-02-07, version 7.5.1*

Don’t like it. It stinks.  Still do not like this.  Paying for a subscription that blackens pages for an ad.  What the heck?

### 1/5 — Keeps Locking Up On Newish IPad.

*2023-12-05*

Don’t like it. It stinks.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2022-08-25, version 6.12.6*

Why can’t I read my e-edition any longer? What happened to it? I would give zero stars if I could

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2021-08-08, version 6.5.9*

The Obituaries are over 2 weeks old and the new ones cannot be found with search. Adds don’t close when I touch the “X”.  Very frustrating experience

### 1/5 — Try Cancelling.

*2020-04-22, version 5.24.3*

You Can’t

### 1/5 — What A Rag

*2019-03-24, version 5.16.1*

The Marion Star is the poorest excuse for a daily newspaper ever! The news they publish was previously reported on two days earlier by REAL news sources. Someone needs to remind them that news actually happens on the WEEKENDS as well. Who in their right mind would pay for this worthless “paper”?

### 1/5 — Marion One Star App

*2013-10-30, version 1.0.2*

This app is stupid. You can't log in if you don't have a subscription and you get push notifications for stories that you can't even view. Try harder next time...

### 3/5 — Keeps Locking Up On Newish IPad.

*2023-11-14*

Don’t like it.  It stinks.

### 3/5 — Keeps Locking Up On Newish IPad.

*2023-11-12*

Don’t like it.

### 4/5 — New app

*2023-09-13*

I must say that I am extremely old-school when it comes to computers. I like the way it was before the new app. I know you’re trying to do the best you think you can but it just seems simpler before.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2024-11-18, version 7.11.2*

Everything about Marion, OH in one place! The app works well and also gives access to their e-paper.

### 5/5 — Marion Star

*2021-02-10, version 6.3.0*

We read the Star to keep up with the news as local radio stations have changed.

### 5/5 — Mary Ruscin Pica

*2018-01-03, version 5.3.1*

No longer live at n Marion, but still receive The Star online. Really enjoy keeping up with Marion!!  So glad I decided to keep the Marion Star. Love Marion!

Enjoy the app since Gannett updated it.  Nice way to view the local news digitally.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2012-08-04, version 1.0.1*

Really happy to finally have an app for the star. Easy to use, looks good and intuitive.

### 4/5 — App drop

*2020-02-19, version 5.23.1*

This App once loaded keeps dropping. Don’t waste your time with it. The App will show up but when clicked it comes up for about a second then shuts off.

### 4/5 — Local Paper

*2017-01-01, version 4.7.1*

Great way to keep up with local current news and events!
