StarPhoenix reviews
2.5 out of 5, based on 159 reviews.
What people like
- Great content when it actually works
- Good for reading the local paper
What they complain about
- Keeps freezing and crashing constantly
- Wrong pictures show up for articles
- Missing important sections like obituaries
Archaic Reporting
Too bad how this paper got ruined. It’s just full of left wing NDP complaining about something every day. We unsubscribed as it was a waste of money to daily read about left wing, anti government rhetoric. I couldn’t imagine any company wanting their company ad to be seen in relation to this ‘newspaper’.
Fading quality
This app seems to be deteriorating with no opportunity to update. Article pages are slow to appear, and lately, pages are double loading, with inhibited scrolling/freezing. Needs a re-visit.
Lately it freezes and I have to delete
I have been using this app for quite a few years but since the new iPhone update it freezes all of the time. It is not usable at all. I really enjoy getting to read the paper and hope this bug can get fixed!
The new updated app is worse than the old app
This new app is a mess and is missing stuff like the obituaries
Article images
The images for the article do not match with what is happening in the article. I thought they would solve the issue but it has been over a year and still not fixed.
Boooo
The most recent update makes this app more complicated to navigate than the simpler looking previous version. While this update provides access to other sources of news within this media group, it’s absolutely more effort to use. The elimination of dark mode viewing is also a MAJOR disappointment…. Will seek out other sources for my local news needs moving forward.
App freezes up daily
It would be great if the app didn’t constantly freeze up .
App does not recognize account updates
My account was out of date so subscription was not renewed. I made phone called to correct this and renew my subscription. That lasted about 10 days App still does not recognize my renewed subscription and directs me to iTunes ignoring my subscription payment. Customers deserve better. I can get access from the website at least today but not the app!
Keeps freezing
Love the app but wish I didn’t have to repeatedly delete ad re-install.
Its been two years and its still freezes up
And I can never forward an article. Same problem with their sister apps in Calgary & Ottawa. And good luck ever reading anything on here without a heavy liberal bias. What happened to presenting both sides of an issue and letting the reader decide?
Locking up!!
I have an iPhone 8 and at least once a week this app locks up. I have to delete and reinstall.
Very poor
This app constantly freezes, won’t update, or load story data. I’ve deleted and re-installed this app several times, tried powering down/up my phone and nothing seems to help.
Freezes!
Would be a 5-star rating if the app didn’t freeze after a single use. I have to delete the app and re- download it every time. Used to work great until the last month or so. Not sure what changed but it needs to be changed back.
Always glitches and crashes
Difficult to use as constantly crashing
Freezes up/ crashes
Good app when it’s working, but have to delete and reinstall when it crashes and won’t download new stories
Freeze alert
Initially froze all the time and now doesn’t load.
Awful
This app is so poorly made. It constantly crashes and freezes.
Horrible newspaper app
This app is brutal..... the pictures that show up when you click on an article are always wrong. Half the time the article doesn’t even show up, get with the times star phoenix.....
