Sheffield star
This is the 3rd try to write a review on this site as you do not know if your nickname is used until you press send. My complaint is that the Apple app will no longer open the Sheffield Star, contacted via e mail Johnstons press via e mail auto replay will contact in 2 to 3 days this is not good enough as paying £14.00 month to read a news paper, no help telephone number to contact very poor for a large company. Also in a house hold to read the Star on more than one I pad you have to pay twice etc unlike a news paper. Looks a will be returning back to the printed paper

You're having a laugh!
Deleted ! Nearly £14 for a newspaper! Don't think so mate ! You only got one star because the App Store won't let us post without at least one otherwise you wouldn't have got that ... Bye bye !

Shocking poor now I have to pay
Absolutely shocking I will be deleting this app now I have to pay a subscription. Even the daily mirror is free mon-fri. Rubbish paper now. Get your act together.

Subscription too expensive
I have used this app to read the Sheffield Star since it was launched. The app is basic but effective, essentially offering a way to read the print edition online. It offers a considerably better experience than The Star website, particularly on mobile.
However in Jan 2015 The Star introduced a monthly subscription of £13.40. This is considerably more than I am prepared to pay particularly when I can get national newspapers, which offer more, better quality news at a lower rate.
I appreciate the need to make money but this seems greedy I wonder how many potential print ad views The Star's advertisers will miss out on as a result of this decision.

Sheffield star
This app was fine until they decided they don't get enough from the advertises to release it for free, so in the bin it goes. There's plenty out there willing to give news away for free. Goodbye the Star !!!!

Disappointed
I had this on Newsstand through iTunes. Never had a problem with it until recently. I attempted to open up the app and found out I'm expected to pay in excess of £13.00 for it. I shan't be using it again, there was no warning about this. Disgusted!

I love this app - but after last update it kicks me out
I love this app. The way you can pick the pages you want, or swipe through. Since the last update it tries to update for the new day and then kicks me out. I go back in but still get thrown out. I have tried deleting the app from the iPad but frustratingly seems bust. Waiting for new update.

Great Apps
Very impressive app. I like the choice of either reading through digital sections or flicking the pages as normal.

Great App
Although my husband has the paper delivered, I usually read stuff on the website. I'll be definitely using this app from now on.

Very impressed!
I'm really impressed with the quality of this app. You can use it as a digital news app with groups of articles or just read it page by page like the print edition. Everything seems to work properly and you can also browse, download and save old editions.
