Its So Cool.
TNG Fan must have.
No sound
Owning the app for many years the app was fun but recently I have noticed the app has no sound
Trek-tastic app-sperience (even in 2026)
Looks like the last update was 6 years ago!? Unbelievable in “app years” because this app still feels like my own piece of the 24th century tech (PADD) in my hands. Amazing on both iPhone and iPad! I do wish I could do a whole lot more with it, but when I just need a quick escape to the future, STARRS is there! LCARS, beeps, bridge ambiance, and even red alerts! …now, we just need to be able to take the interface and apply it to …everything!

Almost perfect
Love this. I wish that there was an optional to toggle off the view finder (as cool as it is) and expand the summary. I’d love to read whole article in that format instead of jumping to the website.
The best LCARS UI in iOS
Really amazing app for a Trekkie！
Masterful and complete
STARSS isn’t meant to be your everyday newsreader. It’s meant to allow Trek fans to experience what it means to actually use LCARS. It’s a lot of fun to play with and is in some ways a better experience than we get at amusement parks that have all the rights and none of the joy.
The developer is a true professional because be took the time to actually bring to life something we only ever saw on screen and did this 17 years ago.
Unlike other apps that exist to recreate childhood experiences for example and want $5 for something half baked, Christopher took the time to full flesh out STARSS and then he gave it away for free, at a time when he could have easily charged for it.
This guy is a class act, a scholar and a true pro.
Thank you so much for your contribution.

It is 2025 and this app still feels like the future
I recently downloaded this because I got bit by the Star Trek bug and wanted to have some Star Trek stuff on my iPad. I downloaded it, liking how the pictures showed the interface, and it still works perfectly. I hope the developer keeps up with the app, even if it’s later in years, because I found my new favorite app to read news

RSS reader in trek form
I wish there were more Star Trek theme apps for iPad and iPhones but there are very few. Lcars would make money hand over fist
Love it, but could use a font fix for old eyes
I really love this app! I miss rss feed readers and this one is really well done. I would request, though, that the font on the reader pages be changeable, or made to be less tight. It takes a bit more effort to read for people with poor vision.
Incredibly satisfying!
It nails the feel while maintaining usability and purpose. I’d love to see more apps like this.
To the person who made this
You’re a god. You are the Q. Thank you. I wish Apple would allow custom UIs so you could just transport us. But this will do for now.
Great app, even on MacOS
First used this on my iPhone, but recently downloaded it on my MacBook and it works great on both! I personally love the aesthetic it adds when just leaving it open on my Mac! Great app, highly recommend!
Few apps are this Incredible…
Thank you beyond words to the the developer Christopher Kriens for creating this beautiful, well featured, and ueable LCARS interface… so true to TNG, it even requires you to press the “Acend” or “Decend” buttons to scroll rather than Swipe (Recognition of and adhesion to details like this make it a Gem). I use it every day and coolness factor never gets old. 6 Starss if I could.

No Update Since 2020
User to whoever is in charge of this enterprise:
I cannot use this RSS app without putting the phone on mute. If I wanted Trek sound effects, I’d download a ringtone.
Feed source names too long. Need editing so I can see the URL of the feed.

Brilliant animation!
I’m a big LCARS fan and this is a really well created app, with excellent attention to detail and brilliant animations! Red alert looks excellent! This looks better than the real Tricoders used in TNG.
Really like it!
Only issue (6/21/24) is that it no longer refreshes the news. Latest one is 6/20/24 at 15:49. Maybe a server issue? Everything else works. Hope you can fix this. I love articles with no intrusive ads. God job!
Excellent!
I love being able to quickly find an article I’m interested in, though I find I’m reading most of them. Even better is the lack of intrusive ads, especially videos. Many of my friends downloaded this app after I showed it to them. I now also enjoy running it on my M2 Mac.
LOUD!!
Needs an independent volume control!
Such a good interface!
Really top notch. Great fun and Trek honourable. Loved it!
Okay I shouldn’t be loving this this much
This is TOTALLY WICKED!!!!
