That s all KC Star has been crap for a long time Only figures that they re website and app are crap as well     Crap sick-of-KCStar
Give me my paper back I closed the app to make breakfast and when I re opened it it was not in the same format Awful I don t have time for this     Bad improvement Maddo785-550-1578
I realize hard copy newspapers have been replaced by e versions for mainstream readership but this e version app is awful The Star no longer provides anywhere near the same amount of info or stories that previously appeared on a common basis in the print version which in itself is also underwhelming The majority of news are feature stories and very seldom is their current up to date information or stories It s difficult to find specific information or topics particularly in the sports section I now leverage the St Louis Tribune app more frequently to find information which is disheartening         Extremely disappointed Schudy Family
The app covers the headlines but very often holds onto old news beyond it s expiration date Recently articles covering the eclipse hung around on the app for days after the moment had passed Also the ads very often take over the article and the X to close the ad doesn t work I have to tap it over and over to close the ad and continue reading my chosen article Other than that the app works well and the paper is clearly organized             KC Star Newspaper Bar53$
Seriously there doesn t seem to a way to search for stories with this app         No search function TegarKC
After the last update the scroll functionality inside articles does not work or is incredibly slow It is a painful process trying to read articles     Scrolling too slow A fan123456789
Just wanted to say the new KC Star app is great awesome job                     Awesome Redesign mjh1112
If it s no longer available just say that so I can cancel my subscription Later Oh there it is through the previous app Works fine so far I m glad you ve still made available the style of a newspaper I can read on an IPad without the actual substance of paper     Where s Replica Version David Virtue
The Star has gone from a reasonable and easy to navigate app to one with photos but no meat What happened You can t find the story Ads look like stories Its harder to navigate And the stories themselves are thinner Please try again This looks like fake news                 Star Awful WildernesssteveKC
This is one horrible written program Hate it     New format Wrklin
Loved the old set up but terrible since the latest updates App crashes and freezes constantly Hard app to maneuver through Find your news somewhere else                     Horrible Mgddthvssvnkhdeubvfg
One star is too high of a rating Screen disappears scroll doesn t work     Mikey Lanagene
Want the old version back     Very bad update Gle1998
Too much scrolling Large picture takes up most of the screen Old app was much better     Not good Readingrr
I had used the old version of The Star for years but recently downloaded this new version I could read every story and liked the new features But every once in a while when trying to read an article a Sign On page popped up for something called Press Now I cannot read ANY story without the app asking for me to sign on to whatever the heck Press is Theres nothing anywhere in the app or in the App Store description explaining what Press is or that in order to read the paper you have to sign up with whatever Press is or that maybe the app requires a PAID subscription Shame on KC Star for a Trojan Horse app that at first lets users read articles but then takes that away without explanation     Press Whats That
Wants me to sign in now to read anything Im not paying for an online subscription     Cant pull up any articles
This app now requires a Press user id Ridiculous Further there is no way to create one in the app What a disappointing change     Press user id
If I have to pay Shouldnt you remove the ads And its not user friendly on how to sign up use it If the editorial staff at the star is reading this please help you readers out here How do we use your app     Really
Love keeping up with KC news and headlines           Review
Deleting this app It requires a password and payment to use It is NOT free     Password now required
Disaster     Update Fail
Awesome app Helps me stay in touch with my people                 Sam Mellinger
Why pay for a press subscription Guess Ill get my news from one of the other five local news apps     Zero stars App is deleted
There is no longer any Breaking News Its just blank The update is bad     Breaking News is blank
Breaking news wont update Back to the mobile website Again     New version is broken
Love the design                 Great app
I might be in PA now but this app keeps me updated on my chiefs and royals                 Awesome app
Do not update to the latest its the worst     Update horrible
Needs some GUI work Its not a very smooth application        Too slow
Per KC Star service standards they have managed to successfully tank this app Once a reliable app complimented my KC Star newspaper subscription but now Ill just delete both Good riddance     Waste
Press deleted app Screw you Kc star     Nope
Much much improved                 Great app Worth a download
I recently downloaded the new star app It worked great until all of the sudden it started requiring a press account What a disappointment     What a disappointment
This new update was great until it suddenly required a Press account to read any article There is no explanation of this and now I have to delete the app and buy it again to access the articles Ive loved this app for years but this new update seems unnecessary Hopefully this will be rectified        Frustrating Update
Im a long time subscriber everyone knows the desperate times print media is in but I consider my contribution to be nontax deductible and a charitable act It would be nice for instance if I could share an article via Twitter without the share feature quitting in mid stream to offer me an app in the App Store It would also be nice if nonFacebook users could comment on articles on your web site too Get it together KCStar or face losing more charity     The only thing worse is the actual newspaper
Its sooooo much better since the update Easy to navigate Current No crashes at all                 Love it
Periodically I get a request to sign in to pay to access this app I will not use this if I have to pay for it There are too many other news sources available for me to pay for this        Annoying request to pay
Too bad the app is now completely worthless You cant view or read any articles now unless you have a Press subscription Time to delete the app What a shame Everyone else can make adsupported apps profitable except McClatchy     New paywall for content death of KC Star
This is a good app for keeping up with news from Metro Kansas City and the bistate area My only complaint is that it doesnt get updated as often as Id like especially overnight              News From The Heartland
Need a Press sign in     Sign in
Easy to read                 Great app
Need to make a correction The article view from the print edition is still there but its a double click which is less intuitive Overall this most recent change is a miss Even thought the PDF view is set by default the app just launches to a blank screen When I launch the print version I have to dismiss the instructions every time It doesnt save my view so I have to change it from double page to single page every time Some of the pages and articles launched from the print edition take a few seconds to load Never had any of these issues with the old version Hate it when companies fix things that arent broken Sure it looks better but it doesnt function well           New Change a Step Backwards
This update is dog poo     Pathetic
This app was good until it asks you to sign up     WAS Good
This app provides all the news that we get in the KC Star newspaper but the news is updated throughout the day The convenience of accessing the news on the app when I dont have the newspaper with me speaks for itself                 Complete NewsLocal and National
Love this app its quick and easy to find out whats going in around KC Especially like the Cityscape section                 Quick and easy to use
This app will not allow you to open any articles You can get access to the KC Star articles with the Kansas City app Same exact content but with a bonusyou can actually read them     Skip this app
The app was recently changed which requires a subscription in order to access content Deleted app Ill get my news from KMBC news app     Requires subscription
I recently switched to this app after the original KC Star app stopped working This one worked for a few weeks but now everything is behind a paywall There is no discussion of paying for an account anywhere that I can find I understand the need to protect some content to make a profit but this is ridiculous Very disappointed in the Star     Big changed
App does not show front page long enough except to tease Then there is NO local weather even though headline screams rain drenched area     914
Nicely done              Nice App
This app is horrible Fix it     Horrible
Not sure why there are so many neg complaints It doesnt crash its up to date not slow                 The Kansas City Star
Much better experience No issues with breaking news updating Seems to update faster for me                 Much improved
Why they think someone would pay to read their news is beyond me     Worthless need a subscrition
Breaking news screen is blank Annoying since thats the first screen that opens     Terrible
No longer able to read certain articles Keeps asking for password then when you try to reset the password it doesnt work        Fix Bugs
The app works fine for a short time then will not let me open stories without a Press account You cannot register for an acct from a phone To bypass this your have to delete app reinstall Very annoying Its great when it works           Requires a Press Acct online registration
I dont care for this new version I liked the old version better     Dont like
The recent requirements to pay for news using Press has encouraged me to find local news from other sources I can get news from local TV station apps for free Trying to force a subscription will backfire Sorry Star you get a minus     Press Minus
Good app better than paying for the online version                 Good app
Great for LC expat Im Seattle                 Great
Crash Crash Crash What a crappy app     Train wreck
Was great for Kansas City news But now being deleted off my iPhone since its a pay app if you want to read anything     Now charging to read
