  1. 2/5Subscription only for only partial content

    I’ve had this app for years, and articles used to be tiered. Some articles were for subscribers only while others could be accessed in the app with a fair amount of ads. The app would frequently crash, and articles listed in alerts would be nonexistent when one clicked on the alert. Now the app has a limit for articles though this was never disclosed anywhere. Payment does not give you access to all articles since some are still marked “for subscribers only.” Apparently subscribing to the app doesn’t count as a subscription. At least other newspaper apps allow a certain number of stories per month. I deleted the app.

  2. 2/5Can’t find specific news items

    This is the scenario that happens all too frequently: I get the ADS “latest headlines” email. I click on an article I wish to read. Instead of opening in the app, it opens in a browser and insists I sign in. I don’t remember my password, so I open the app and the “latest headline” I’m looking for is impossible to find. I give up and wonder why I’m paying for this at all.

  3. 5/5Too loud!

    OK, I know it’s expensive to provide up-to-date content, but the video ads are more than annoying, especially when your beloved is asleep beside you or your companions on the bus startle easily! Also, the story “teases” at the end of articles that go nowhere are a waste of space—just stop it!

  4. 3/5App ALWAYS outdated

    App always running a few days behind on the news....seems like most of the news isn’t all that relevant, like they saved all the minor stories for the app...the actual Daily Star newspaper is 1000% times better than their digital presence...serious work needs to be done on the app

  5. 5/5Clunky - but it works

    Town News doesn’t have the sophistication of some web developers but at least we have local news and I can get it on my phone!
