### 5/5 — Always the Star

*2026-07-19, version 8.2*

The summer at the cottage is so much more enjoyable with the on line version of the star.  I am 82 and have been reading the star for most of it.  Gingerpeach.

### 5/5 — Lifelong Star reader

*2026-07-06, version 8.2*

Excellent well balanced articles that reflect life in the GTA including current issues and the many topics that residents regard as noteworthy. Political commentary is always on the forefront as Canadians feel we are in a position of defending our identity and economy these days. Star journalists are generally well chosen to represent our views and inform us of thorough analysis too.

### 1/5 — Nice app, but fills up storage.

*2026-07-01, version 8.2*

It so endow fills the SSD in weeks. Nice app for reading, but terrible app for storage (it’s text!).

### 4/5 — Honest accessible journalism

*2026-06-26, version 8.2*

It is believable journalism that you can get online.  Well written and well researched news source.

### 1/5 — Liberal Only

*2026-06-21, version 8.2*

This paper is now only liberal opinions and no facts.

### 4/5 — Good but could be excellent

*2026-06-13, version 8.2*

I enjoy the e-newspaper. No longer waiting for paper to be delivered. Less waste.  To get 5 star rating the word search, puzzles, and sudoka should be interactive.

### 1/5 — Glitchy app

*2026-06-08, version 8.2*

No paper today?

### 2/5 — Programming errors

*2026-01-27, version 7.1*

I love this feature, especially when I’m away from home but now there’s a problem with the section showing current highlighted stories. It appears to have stopped updating on January 15th. Can you please have your programmers fix it? I really miss it. Thanks.  Still receive the paper edition because I love the Star and believe that excellent journalism should be supported.

### 4/5 — Just one annoyance

*2025-09-08, version 7.1*

A great paper. Great opinion pieces. A lot of special interest stories. And available 7 days a week. 
The only issue I have is if there are updates to a news item , a lot  of the previous day’s points are repeated. It fattens up the paper for nothing.

### 3/5 — Glitch in Page View

*2024-10-24, version 7.1*

In the updated version, the drop down section selection menu in page view only stays visible for 1 second , then disappears, making it useless.
