5/5My Hometown Paper
Thanks for making the online version and app available! I get to read my hometown paper even though I’m no longer at home! The app provides all the great coverage of the FWST, and even throws in some news from other McClatchy owned news sources. The app performs well, loading quickly and accurately. My only criticism is that sometimes an ad will extend across the whole screen, and it’s difficult to scroll by it. Other than that, it’s a great mechanism to receive and read the news.

1/5Updated app is terrible
After updating the app it is terrible compared with the old app. Now it takes you to an internet browser filled with useless info. Simply put when I use the app I want to read the paper not have to go to several option to get the paper. Not to mention the app works terrible inside the browser. I can no longer just click on the continued on page to go to the end of story. It doesn’t expand easily either. It want let me move around the page easily either. It is a major disappointment that will make me reconsider keeping the star telegram. I was a home delivery user until the printed paper price got to be so expensive that I went to the e-print form. It was simple then just click on the app, up popped the paper and it downloaded and I could also download it for offline use easily. Now it opens in a browser, once opened it goes to a bunch of useless info, then you have to click on another spot to get paper that doesn’t work to well. JUST TERRIBLE!!

2/5Could be better.
Sometimes the pages freeze, sometimes the next story you click on ends up opening a browser window instead of in the app, so you need to login again on the browser, and then if you close the browser window, yet another link to an article takes you back to the browser window again, then you log into the browser window again. Also, it doesn't remember what text size you chose, probably something to do with the articles opening outside the app in a browser window And the content could be better- not a lot of hard stories, it’s mostly click bait articles, inflammatory opinion pieces and crime porn. They used to have a problem renewing monthly subscriptions - I would always be told my subscription expired every new billing period, but I think they fixed that.

Guesss What · 31 Jul 2026
1/5The app is totally inefficient
I can’t believe how challenging it is to develop a basic app that works consistently. Obviously the Star-Telegram has not invested in its own product. Whoever designed this app had absolutely no clue what they were doing. That of course is my opinion. I’m tired of logging in and being logged out; I’m tired of being told I don’t have an account when I do; I’m tired of not being able to follow up on any article. I’m also really tired of trying to find anything that is timely. This app brings up articles that are two and three days old. Perhaps I’m not actually looking at a news document but instead a historical archives document. I’m also frustrated that in order to use this app I must have an active Facebook account. This is not a good value for somebody who cares about balanced media.

2/5Your website is not user-friendly
I have been taking the Fort Worth Star-Telegram now for about three months. Before that I took the Dallas Morning News for about 30 years. I really do prefer the Fort Worth Star-Telegram over the Dallas news. However your website is extremely difficult to navigate and not user-friendly. If you could please do something to your website to make the paper easier to read and navigate it would really be a blessing. Also is there no way to go back and look at yesterday‘s paper if I want to see it on the website ? I suggest you look at your competition and see their website, you’ll understand then what I’m talking about. Thank you Keith Wrobel

I can no longer just click on the continued on page to go to the end of story. It doesn’t expand easily either. It want let me move around the page easily either. It is a major disappointment that will make me reconsider keeping the star telegram. I was a home delivery user until the printed paper price got to be so expensive that I went to the e-print form. It was simple then just click on the app, up popped the paper and it downloaded and I could also download it for offline use easily. Now it opens in a browser, once opened it goes to a bunch of useless info, then you have to click on another spot to get paper that doesn’t work to well. JUST TERRIBLE!!",

Also, it doesn't remember what text size you chose, probably something to do with the articles opening outside the app in a browser window And the content could be better- not a lot of hard stories, it’s mostly click bait articles, inflammatory opinion pieces and crime porn. They used to have a problem renewing monthly subscriptions - I would always be told my subscription expired every new billing period, but I think they fixed that.",

          "body": "I can’t believe how challenging it is to develop a basic app that works consistently. Obviously the Star-Telegram has not invested in its own product. Whoever designed this app had absolutely no clue what they were doing. That of course is my opinion. I’m tired of logging in and being logged out; I’m tired of being told I don’t have an account when I do; I’m tired of not being able to follow up on any article. I’m also really tired of trying to find anything that is timely. This app brings up articles that are two and three days old. Perhaps I’m not actually looking at a news document but instead a historical archives document. I’m also frustrated that in order to use this app I must have an active Facebook account. This is not a good value for somebody who cares about balanced media.",

I really do prefer the Fort Worth Star-Telegram over the Dallas news. However your website is extremely difficult to navigate and not user-friendly. If you could please do something to your website to make the paper easier to read and navigate it would really be a blessing. Also is there no way to go back and look at yesterday‘s paper if I want to see it on the website ? I suggest you look at your competition and see their website, you’ll understand then what I’m talking about. Thank you Keith Wrobel",
