Shropshire Star Newspaper 4+

My original review 3 weeks ago 1 Star: FRUSTRATING. Have reinstalled a number of times now. App works first time then stops and logs itself out. Since then a new app has been launched which has finally caught up with IOS. At last the news is accessible.
And now a new version of the app is clunky and does not open with a new episode. It takes a while to be able to read a new paper unlike the previous interim app which worked very effectively. What a shame. What is going on?

I don’t know what has happened to this new updated app, all I now get is single stories per page, the front cover is unavailable, before the update I was forever having to RESTORE my purchases before the star would even download! I have now ended my subscription

1 year ago.
Editions are now prompt and back to normal 👍 15 May. After using this app since December I have gradually come across problems with it, there have been many times when some daily editions have not been available until quite late in the afternoon, just like what happened today, except this time after it finally downloaded only pages 1,2,3,15,31 and 58 are available to read no matter how many times I refresh the page, they say no news is good news, but 6 pages is not worth paying for…..some of those pages are full advertisements. Maybe it’s getting near time to unsubscribe if there is no improvement! 18 Dec 2020 This is a great way to read the paper, it can be daylight outside when I start reading and before I know it it’s dark, but on the iPad - no problem. Very pleased with this app, I initially only intended to subscribe for a month, but after just 5 days I have decided to make this permanent, it’s also great having a scrapbook “star button” that saves selected pages, and, I don’t have to waste anymore paper.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As I live in Telford I had the Telford edition of the Star delivered…for some reason my team Shrewsbury Town seemed to get less coverage than the much smaller club Telford United.

So I changed several years ago to the Shrewsbury digital edition and everything seemed better….now Wolverhampton Wanderers seem to get massive coverage….even though Wolverhampton on all my maps and sat nav does not appear to be in Shropshire.

Most of the local news is ok as it should be….with very little news from outside the County…so why the obsession with Wolves?

Note…Shrewsbury appear to get little coverage in the Express and Star!….apart from the Monday edition.

As your paper is no longer a night paper it has no advantage over the big titles.

One last thing, Andy Richardsons continual sniping at the Conservatives it is becoming a joke in our household.
