  • Forever downloading

    If you have a half hour with nothing else to do, you can download the paper. Worthless for normal folks.

  • New Format with Permanent Google Ad

    I can not read portions of the Star due to Google ads permanently placed at bottom of page. It is not responsive to iPad gestures to enlarge and reduce view.

  • Can’t read articles even though I have a subscription

    When I tap an article to read, I get a message saying thank you for reading, with an opinion to subscribe. I have a subscription. Signing out and back in doesn’t help. Deleting and redownloading the app doesn’t help. I cannot read the articles. That is a real problem with a newspaper app.

  • Bad App managed to get worse

    I’m saddened by this app because I think the journalists who work at the Star do a fine job. The previous version of the app was frustrating because if you were reading an article and it referenced a previous Star article, the link would open a browser and ask you to log in, rather than just taking you to the article in the app. Sooooo, when a new version appeared I had hoped it would fix that issue. It did not. The ability to see the actual physical version of the paper was a redeeming factor of the previous version, and now that’s gone. Love the journalism, hate the app.

  • Terrible

    Your app and login process is terrible. Despite having a subscription through Apple, when I login, the app treats me like I do not have an account and keeps asking me to subscribe. It has caused me to my subscription lapse and find local news elsewhere.

  • Not happy with the new version

    I’m not too happy with the new version of the Kansas City Star. I found the old way was much easier for me to find what I was looking for in the online paper. I also don’t want to download the paper on my phone. I just want to look at it. Sometimes new is not always better. Should have left it alone.

  • Disappointing Upgrade

    This week the Star’s (e)edition eliminated the option to browse the print newspaper edition look. My renewal option coming due next week couldn’t have come at a better time. Not for me.

  • New Version of the Star

    The version of the Star released several days ago makes it very difficult to navigate through the Star news. It’s no longer a newspaper where you can glance at a page and decide what you want to read. I spent the last hour trying to figure out how to navigate through the Star. I much prefer the “old version” of the Star. Unfortunately, I’m having to pay for this. Makes me want to reconsider my current subscription.

  • Yet another poor roll out

    I love the paper, but whenever an “upgrade” come along it’s a mess. The app doesn’t load properly. It closes randomly. You have to close the all to get the new paper loaded. The previous upgrade was a mess as well. Very frustrating. This is an add on for the 2024 update. Now you can’t even get a proper e-edition of the paper. Just a bunch of headline to click on and many of the headlines only display partially. Hate it.

  • Room for Improvement

    The new app is clunky and difficult to navigate. The cost of the digital edition of the Star is overpriced. Not good value for money. Too little local news reporting. The paywall does not permit subscribers to share any articles. The Washington Post gives you 10 free articles per month to share. It costs less than the Star too.
