New App

New app is terrible. Old addition was easier to read. If I did not have it on another device I would cancel.

Not an easy sight

This site is terrible. The old one worked much better. It jumps around, locks up and will not enlarge without jumping off of the page most of the time. I wish they would bring back the old version.

Double Charged for a year

When I realized they had been charging me twice a month, for same thing, I called and they said they’d take care of it. They couldn’t issue a refund, but they would not charge me for a year. However, they are still charging me.

Propaganda

Liberal fish wrap.

Working again after update

Revised review: the app is now working again since the latest update. Leaving the below because I still think it’s poor planning to have the only support option be within the app itself!

Original review: [Like the title says, I upgraded to iOS 14 yesterday and now this app crashes when I try to open it. And when I tap on App Support here in the App Store, it tries to send me to...the app. Which crashes. So I’m leaving feedback in a review here because I don’t feel like waiting on hold just to talk to someone about this.

ETA: I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I got through the screen where I told it I didn’t want notifications, then it crashed again before loading the main screen or having me log in.]

Problems

Resubscribed digital access but not thru ITunes. Won’t let me link accounts and no one responds to emails or calls. Have they got too big to worry about customer service???????

Old news

Very little new news makes it to the app. Sometimes the articles are over a week old.

Ads?

If I have to pay for your service, you better not make me watch ads. You did though. Done.

Worst than bad

CAN NOT WAIT TILL MY SUBSCRIPTION IS OVER. IT HAS BE COME A JOKE IN MONROE

Informative app

Content is relevant

Great for local news

The News Star is part of my morning routine. I want to be informed and the News Star keeps me up to date.

New app

Love it!

Great app!

The News-Star app is easy to use, brings up the top stories quickly & has great notifications!

New format

Much more thorough! Easy to navigate. Good job!

The Newstar

Enjoy having it where I can read while away from home. Keeps me up on latest happenings.

Mr.

The variety of articles is enjoyable. The writing is worthy. The coverage is what is needed in this small area. Thank you very much.

Agent

I love getting great information about what going on in my home town, keep up the good work.

Awesome paper

Very convenient and always up to date

Convenient News

Easy to use. The local news is readily available. The photos are great. It's nice to have all this at one's fingertips, but there is no national or world news. One has to go go to other sources or to the pc version, which is excellent, to get all the rest of the news.

It does include sports, but I could do without it. I'd give it five stars if it just added national and world news. Fat chance of any change, though, with only one other reviewer.
