How to find previous days sections?

There should be a button on the homepage that takes you to the p previous editions.

Terrible App

You have no ability to manage your subscription. You have to call them. Why even have this App

Now charging $175.00 a year. Rip off

Pasadena Star News was free with the app for years, and overnight it went to $175.00 a year, and that’s a rip off.

Not

Pasadena Star News needs to stop hiding what really goes on in Pasadena! A female was shot last night 1/17/20 other news lets use know what happened in Pasadena not Star news stick to other news apps Pasadena Star newspapers doesn’t let us no really goes on in our city

Slow

Just incredibly slow to load I know it’s not my phone or server. I’d like to enlarge pics if I could and there are FAR too many hot links

Tiny type size — almost unreadable

The type is laughably small. You’ll need your reading glasses, or maybe a magnifying glass, just to read the headlines.

Hard to comment on the content, because I can’t read the news stories. I wanted to support my local paper, but how can any decent newspaper have such carelessness about it’s readers?

Ads make the app virtually unusable

I like to keep up with local news however it really can’t be done using this app. It is impossible to read any of the articles. Ads pop up every few seconds filling the entire screen. Closing one only makes another one pop up. It’s like playing whack-a-mole.

Has Issues with IOS 11.4.1

Upon opening the app the screen turns white and the app closes into the background. If I swipe, then I find that the app has in fact opened in the background and I can bring it to the front. However, if I attempt to select anything on the app to change pages, then the app once again turns completely white and collapses to the background. And, again I will find that whatever page I chose has opened in the background and I can move that page into the foreground. This is not a very convenient way to navigate the app.

Pasadena Star-Ads

Seriously? Two ads on each page, taking up a third of the screen. OK, you gotta get paid so I'll deal with it.

Then a full-page ad pop-up.

Thus ended my 30 seconds with the PSN app.

Disappointing

Much too much advertising and much too little news. Going to delete it.

Just bad

Almost no news about Pasadena and extreme ads. Stay away.

Not a good app and not user friendly

I gave this app one star it constantly kicks you to a third party app and you cannot read any articles

More ads than articles

This app is pretty much useless

Where is the news?

I have tried this app more than once, and each update is more disappointing. The latest news for most sections is not new, but it is multiple days old. This used to be a quality app and newspaper, but it acts more like a weekly than a daily.

Subscription???

This app used to work well and I can get both the headline and the articles. Now, every time I clicked on the news it asked me for my subscription login! This app is no longer useful to me.
Update: it is now working.
Update2: after a few days of working as expected, it is asking for a subscription again! Useless.

Subscription

I've been using this app for over a year... Now they require a subscription? Useless...

New page design

The new black and white page design gives is hard to look at...gives me a headache. What was wrong with the old one?

Why Bother?

The Pasadena Star News app is good, but their site is never updated in a timely fashion. Don't bother to check it in the morning since they probably haven't even posted news from 2 days ago. Not quite sure why they bothered to develop this app!

OLD NEWS!!

You have to click 3 different place to get "Top News" and it ends up being old news. Even the 'Breaking News' is 5-7 hours old.
