It does fail sometimes but that only takes away 1 star. ### 5/5 — Great!! *2022-05-08, version 3.6.05* I enjoy this app ### 5/5 — Love Star news and app *2022-05-03, version 3.6.05* Excellent news coverage, easy to use online viewing ### 4/5 — Home Town *2022-04-10, version 3.6.05* Needs more internalt news. ### 4/5 — The App works Great ; Content So-so *2022-01-25, version 3.3.07* The App is easy to access and use. The Content needs improvement. The paper needs more substantive content nationally and locally and, since the paper goes to print so early, it is always behind the Times, literally and figuratively. ### 5/5 — New on line edition rocks *2022-01-14, version 3.3.07* This is an excellent way to deliver the Star to readers with iPads, etc. Easy to navigate and ore user friendly than the LA Times or Washington Post, my other two newspaper subscriptions. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Good News! *2021-12-04, version 3.3.07* I am fairly new to the area (I live in Oxnard), so I wanted to see a local newspaper. When I found your app I subscribed. I appreciate news and events from Ventura County. Good photography and reporting that is balanced and objective. ### 5/5 — Great *2021-11-24, version 3.3.07* Great app ### 4/5 — Subscriber *2021-11-07, version 3.3.07* Can not read some stories outside the App put out by the Star. It says I must subscribe even though I am one online. ### 5/5 — Good Source of Information *2021-10-25, version 3.3.07* The VC Star app offers succinct information about local events and a roundup of national and world news. I find it better than other news apps. ### 5/5 — Great *2021-10-15, version 3.3.07* Great source for local news, along with a highlights of national/world news. Wished it carried more State government news. Well written articles. ### 4/5 — V C Star *2021-09-08, version 3.3.07* The V C Star has good up-to-date articles and information. They keep me informed on what’s happening locally. Love the comics, horoscope. ### 5/5 — Easy to use! *2021-08-23, version 3.3.07* The app is so easy to use and I can get my news anywhere. I like that you can click on an article and get a full, clean copy of it that I can print or forward to others. ### 5/5 — All pages in order. *2021-08-13, version 3.3.07* Really like it when I can read a paper from front to back, rather than take shortcuts and show out of order. Do you hear me LA Times! Like the Star though it is a smaller paper. Should update daily like many news agencies do. ### 5/5 — Love the online edition. *2021-07-29, version 3.3.07* Moved to Oregon, but still interested in Ventura County news and events. Very nice layout in the online edition. Also, I read the comics every day. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Such a disappointment *2022-02-05, version 3.3.07* Since USA TODAY took over this paper, the quality has deteriorated. There are numerous grammatical and spelling errors, articles that are repeated on different pages, articles that just end to fit column space, and more. Local news (actually all news) is always two days late owing to the fact that the paper is printed by the L.A. Times. And all of this for a subscription price that has increased fourfold in the last couple of years. I have continued my subscription because I enjoy reading the paper in my hand, but now that they will cease printing on Saturday, I will probably switch to digit, much as it hate to do so. Frankly, my love of doing the NY TIMES crossword puzzle has kept me this long, but no Saturday paper is the last straw. I am done. ### 1/5 — POS *2016-11-13, version 2.6.62* Paid subscription and it doesn't work ### 1/5 — Horrible interface "upgrade" *2016-09-12, version 2.6.36* The news should be easy to get to and find, but this new interface displays a virtual news paper print. It is so cumbersome to try and find anything on this app anymore. The news used to update as it happened, but that feature is now gone. ### 2/5 — Good Local News But Flawed Format *2022-05-23, version 3.6.05* I have been a STAR subscriber for 45 years. Local news coverage content is good, however, since merging with USA Today national and international news is duplicated word for word. Additionally, correct grammar, spelling has deteriorated. “Cut and Paste” format is not done well. ### 2/5 — Genius Esquire *2018-01-08, version 2.6.87* App looks great, can not get it to work ### 3/5 — Suggestion *2022-05-28, version 3.6.05* Rather have a good paper ### 3/5 — What happened to the TV guide? *2022-03-24, version 3.6.05* Very disappointed that there is no TV guide! ### 3/5 — Too many grammar errors and punctuation. *2021-10-11, version 3.3.07* Better proof reading is required ### 3/5 — Dislike new ad placement *2021-04-05, version 3.2.43* Very unhappy with the way ads are now placed in featured stories. Makes scrolling down more difficult and they break up what you are reading. ### 3/5 — Not the best digital newspaper site *2021-03-27, version 3.2.43* I like getting local news on a daily basis, sports scores seem to lag for a day, customer service process needs some reorganization. It takes days for them to get back to you via email. On a daily basis the web page will close me out of the app, this never happens when I view my LA Times digital newspaper. You wanted to hear, you got it! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — VC Star *2023-04-17* Very well done. Don’t change a thing. I would like to see more motorsport news. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2023-04-12* The on-line print edition is easy to use. Just click the article you want to read and it comes up in column form so you can scroll and read. I like it. ### 5/5 — Ventura county star talent *2023-03-25* This newspaper has the best writers with so much talent and so much institutional knowledge about this county and how it works. With such a small staff they get all over the county. It’s unfortunate that so many great reporters were laid off. ### 5/5 — Great *2023-01-06, version 3.6.13* Just great read it every morning before we go to the dog park. Love it……. ### 5/5 — App dependable every day *2022-11-02, version 3.6.13* I prefer the edition that is in newspaper form. Enjoy this everday ### 5/5 — Great digital paper *2022-10-02, version 3.6.13* Very nice to get the star wherever we go! ### 5/5 — Enjoy Having this App at my fingertips *2022-09-11, version 3.6.13* Love being able to go back and have editions I’ve missed. ### 5/5 — Easy read. *2022-08-09, version 3.6.13* Easy paper to read. ### 5/5 — “Star” review *2022-07-23, version 3.6.13* Excellent paper. ### 5/5 — Easy to read *2022-06-21, version 3.6.13* Enjoying reading this newspaper on my iPad. Very convenient. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
