More frustrating reading
We are subscribers to the Shropshire Star online papers in order to read for the East Shropshire Talking Newspaper. 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.

Really slow
Really really slow to load pages even when phone is in full 5g. Previous version of app was a lot quicker.
PLEASE FIX THE APP- ASAP
CANT DOWNLOAD ANY ADDITIONS
It’s yesterday once more
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.

Frustrating trying to read
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.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Help
Since it’s been updated I can’t see the last 2 days paper,only Friday (it’s Monday today),how come
Shropshire Star.
As I live in Telford I had the Telford edition of the Star delivered…for some reason my team Shrewsbury Town seemed to get less coverage than the much smaller club Telford United.
So I changed several years ago to the Shrewsbury digital edition and everything seemed better….now Wolverhampton Wanderers seem to get massive coverage….even though Wolverhampton on all my maps and sat nav does not appear to be in Shropshire.
Most of the local news is ok as it should be….with very little news from outside the County…so why the obsession with Wolves?
Note…Shrewsbury appear to get little coverage in the Express and Star!….apart from the Monday edition.
As your paper is no longer a night paper it has no advantage over the big titles.
One last thing, Andy Richardsons continual sniping at the Conservatives it is becoming a joke in our household.

Very good app
Very good app works well and easy to navigate, great stories especially the sports!
Updated review
My original review 3 weeks ago 1 Star: FRUSTRATING. Have reinstalled a number of times now. App works first time then stops and logs itself out. Since then a new app has been launched which has finally caught up with IOS. At last the news is accessible.
And now a new version of the app is clunky and does not open with a new episode. It takes a while to be able to read a new paper unlike the previous interim app which worked very effectively. What a shame. What is going on?

Why fix it if it isn’t broken?
Third version since subscribing and probably the worst. Once my subscription is up this month I’m off.
Worse than useless
The app is a total waste of effort - since upgrading my phone the app doesn’t work at all what a poor show by Shropshire’s biggest publication
No Contact
So disappointed as I contacted SS to tell them my App was not working as a result of the Apple Upgrade and their inability to sort the issue.
I was give. No reason why but was promised a call back but never received one . I had another shot at sorting this out and once again no call back.
I have now cancelled my subscription.
However really miss not been updated with my local news.

Terrible App Don’t Bother Downloading
I have a iPad
Every day I have to delete and reinstall the app to read the Shropshire Star
It just doesn't load otherwise

Frustrated
The app has stopped working since the last IOS update. It needs to be deleted and reinstalled each time. Please update.
Rubbish App
Ridiculously bad app that dies and reboots every time you change story. No wonder UK local papers are doing so badly if their management and IT people come up with outdated technology like this.
App not working
What is up with the app. I am paying for a service that midland news are unable to maintain.
Disgraceful
