Having spent many years successfully accessing the papers physically and online, the new format for reading the papers has become very difficult. Feedback suggests that this is the result of temporary glitches, perhaps the paper could revert to the old format, which was satisfyingly easy to access while the new one is sorted out. We are not in a position to cancel our subscription and our volunteers are spending too much time trying to navigate the site. ### 1/5 — Really slow *2022-11-09* Really really slow to load pages even when phone is in full 5g. Previous version of app was a lot quicker. ### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX THE APP- ASAP *2022-10-17* CANT DOWNLOAD ANY ADDITIONS ### 3/5 — It’s yesterday once more *2022-10-13* Broken by the latest update. First of all I couldn’t download the latest edition or see the facsimile of the paper itself, just a series of articles. I deleted and reinstalled the app and could then see the facsimile, but of yesterday’s paper, not today’s. The same thing happens on my other devices, so needs fixing. ### 1/5 — Frustrating trying to read *2022-10-13* I don’t know what has happened to this new updated app, all I now get is single stories per page, the front cover is unavailable, before the update I was forever having to RESTORE my purchases before the star would even download! I have now ended my subscription 1 year ago. Editions are now prompt and back to normal 👍 15 May. After using this app since December I have gradually come across problems with it, there have been many times when some daily editions have not been available until quite late in the afternoon, just like what happened today, except this time after it finally downloaded only pages 1,2,3,15,31 and 58 are available to read no matter how many times I refresh the page, they say no news is good news, but 6 pages is not worth paying for…..some of those pages are full advertisements. Maybe it’s getting near time to unsubscribe if there is no improvement! 18 Dec 2020 This is a great way to read the paper, it can be daylight outside when I start reading and before I know it it’s dark, but on the iPad - no problem. Very pleased with this app, I initially only intended to subscribe for a month, but after just 5 days I have decided to make this permanent, it’s also great having a scrapbook “star button” that saves selected pages, and, I don’t have to waste anymore paper.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 2/5 — Help *2022-10-10* Since it’s been updated I can’t see the last 2 days paper,only Friday (it’s Monday today),how come ## Frequently asked questions about Shropshire Star Newspaper ### What is the Shropshire Star newspaper app?
