It’s just like when the paper was delivered to the front door only now it’s on my IPad. I love it! ### 5/5 — Great Stuff *2021-07-23, version 3.2.59* Love the Banner all my life , worked at the Banner Office for 6 years until 1965 as the Tear Sheet delivery person and as a DCT student in Display Advertising ### 4/5 — Star Banner *2021-07-01, version 3.2.59* Paper is good info, sometimes hard to download digital edition. After a few tries it works, not a deal breaker. ### 5/5 — Good content *2021-06-26, version 3.2.59* Good coverage of Ocala ### 5/5 — Ocala News App *2021-04-02, version 3.2.59* Easy to use. This app gives that newspaper feel with the electronic benefits. ### 5/5 — Today, Everyday The News Is There Just Waiting For Me. *2021-03-02, version 3.2.59* Excellent news reporting 27/7. Love the APP! ### 5/5 — News quality *2021-02-06, version 3.2.59* Very good coverage for online usage! ### 5/5 — Awesome Newspaper App *2020-12-24, version 3.2.50* I’m an old school person who loves to read the paper in the morning with my coffee. I’ve always used home delivery, until now. This app brings the paper to me every morning right to my phone, no matter if I’m home or not. Exceptional quality app. ### 5/5 — Very well done *2020-12-23, version 3.2.50* This is the best newspaper app I’ve seen. Very well designed and executed. ### 5/5 — New format *2020-09-27, version 3.1.76* I like the new format and four (4) column layout. The print is larger and generally more readable. Good job! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-05-06* Although I already had a prepaid subscription, this “newspaper” added another one and charged me monthly through Apple and PayPal. They will not admit the account even exists and are continuing to deny it even after I submitted evidence. It took me hours of going back and forth from Apple, PayPal, emails, etc and days of waiting for replies. Apple finally made it good but the “newspaper” still won’t admit fault. Don’t let this happen to you. ### 1/5 — Shameful *2022-05-28, version 3.5.07* Super unhappy with Saturday’ paper. Unable to read any article on my iPhone 10. Would cancel my subscription if I did not need obits and other local information as a retired but still active pastor. Feel cheated with this approach. Rev. Dr. Ray Ruark, retired from 18 years at First Presbyterian Church ### 1/5 — Dissatisfied *2022-04-09, version 3.5.07* I am completely dissatisfied with the digital version on Saturday and I find it difficult to use and I can’t get the whole story. Also the price increases are too much. At the current price which gets increased every few months over 10 years I will be paying over $7000 for the paper. Other than the obituaries and a few local stories I would discontinue getting the paper after 50 years and will probably do so shortly. ### 3/5 — The app works, leftist content is the problem *2022-04-28, version 3.5.07* The app works great, easy to scroll through the pages, enlarge print etc., but be prepared for the leftist slant to everything. Of course that’s true for most media. ### 3/5 — G *2021-04-07, version 3.2.59* Old ### 4/5 — Love E-Edition *2022-12-17, version 3.5.07* I read the Star-Banner everyday at home, on vacation and at the beach. I don’t have to cancel delivery when I am away or go outside to pick up the paper in the driveway. Love having the USA Today world news along with the local news, entertainment lists and opinion pages. ### 4/5 — Saturday *2022-11-19, version 3.5.07* So happy to set Star Banner on Sat with app. Subscriber since 1967 ### 4/5 — Have to admit I enjoy the portability of the iPhone app… *2022-02-04, version 3.5.07* Have to admit I enjoy the portability of the iPhone app, but often miss the smell and feel of the print version. The app isn’t perfect…daily I run into the issue where the pages won’t advance using the arrows. I’m forced to drag the page to advance or reverse. I enjoy my comics, which I read horizontally. I expand the comic to fill the screen, but it doesn’t stay centered… it’ll jump to the left, forcing me to hold it where I want it till I finish the first frame. Small things, but irritating nonetheless. Overall, I’m satisfied with the digital ‘paper’. ### 4/5 — Good for local news *2021-12-15, version 3.5.07* The Star Banner really shines in its chronicling of local news and events. The Op-Ed pages are slanted well to the left but opposing views are allowed access. Local and Florida state Sports are well covered. ### 4/5 — Nice improvements *2021-12-14, version 3.5.07* Recently made easier reading. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Slick interface! *2023-05-01* Works well, can see different views and print desired items. Thanks for your work on this app, well done. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-01-16, version 3.7.16* Easy to navigate. Allows reading the news very simple and quickly if just scanning thru. ### 5/5 — Responsive and easy to use *2023-01-01, version 3.5.07* Enjoy the app with many extras. Also like past editions feature. ### 5/5 — Star-Banner *2022-11-21, version 3.5.07* No more waiting! No more having to go outside in all kinds of weather to pick up the daily issue! I love my digital subscription. It just isn’t a normal day without the newspaper.

Can you get it back?? ### 5/5 — OSB E-Edition *2022-01-21, version 3.5.07* Enjoy reading paper on-line. Recent upgrades and improvements easy to navigate ### 5/5 — Best News in Florida *2022-01-12, version 3.5.07* Excellent source of up to date news. Always accurate & newsworthy. First read in morning. Thank You. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-08-14, version 3.2.59* Makes catching up on the local news real easy! ### 5/5 — Up to date news *2021-08-12, version 3.2.59* This paper keeps me informed of current activities around were I live and it is timely info as well. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
