### 5/5 — Wonderful news app and newspapers

*2023-06-03*

I love my IndyStar app for both our local Indianapolis news and also the USA Today news! I fully support and appreciate the wonderful and talented journalists and brave editors, even more since the USA Today’s rare endorsement of a candidate who best represents their Common Ground series, Joe Biden. Thank youuu!

### 5/5 — Indy Star

*2023-01-06, version 3.6.13*

Please continue with the Print Edition of the Star, because I am not a fan of the e edition of the Star.  I have been reading the Star for more than 50 years.

### 5/5 — Mornings with the Star

*2022-12-26, version 3.6.13*

I’m now 73 years old. In 1960 I became an Indianapolis Star delivery carrier in a small town, Coatesville, IN. The town had a population of around 700 and I delivered to around 120, so I knew about everyone. The Star was part of my identity. Surviving people of Coatesville to this day remember me as their Star paperboy. Over the years the Star was always part of my morning routine when I could get one to read, (I became an airline pilot with TWA and electronic editions were yet to be thought of). Now retired, I spend the first parts of my morning with the electronic print edition and am so glad you help me keep in touch with the community I love. Thank you Indianapolis Star.

### 5/5 — Got it back!

*2022-12-21, version 3.6.13*

My Indianapolis Star subscription wasn’t working, but after I called with my concerns, it came back!

### 5/5 — Does It’s Job

*2022-08-03, version 3.6.13*

Works fine to read the paper. Plenty of options to suit your individual wants.

### 5/5 — Every morning

*2022-07-31, version 3.6.13*

No longer do I have to comb the shrubbery searching for my morning paper and wonder if it was even delivered.  Now I can pull up the latest edition on my iPad and read with my coffee at a convenient time. It helps me to keep up with community events and world news. I look forward to the Sunday edition with its big crossword puzzle.  I print it out, pour a beverage, and sit with it after church. I would miss it if it were no longer available, but I don’t miss coping with the delivery issues of the paper copy.

### 5/5 — Wonderful news app and newspapers

### 5/5 — Star

*2022-07-12, version 3.6.13*

The ability to put the Star on Screen has been well thought out.

                                     THANKS!

### 4/5 — Keeping up

*2022-04-28, version 3.6.05*

When I travel, it’s great to stay up with local news by reading the star on my phone.

### 5/5 — Always have IndyStar at finger tips

*2022-04-21, version 3.6.05*

Love being able to read Indy Star online while on vacation.  It is easy to use.
