A good step in the right direction. Makes it much easier to access informative news than the Philippine Star Newsstand app. Although it feels like the screen estate on the iPad could be used more efficiently (perhaps provide option to configure line spacing?). User interface uses basic touch gestures, but I believe it can be better. Developer may consider improving how the newspaper sections are presented; instead of on/off toggles, sections may be segmented visually. Layout can also be more visually appealing by making images stand out more (perhaps make them larger?). Overall, a good app that makes news more accessible. It will find a place in my device and daily routine.

this is perfect for those mornings when I'm stuck in traffic. yes, news can be accessed via social media but you have to click each news separately and it can get lost in the news feed. With Philstar app, I have easy access! plus I can personalize the categories shown in the front page. kudos to your team :)

The interface is straightforward, intuitive, and navigable enough but lacks a defined visual aesthetic (ex. compare with the apps for The Atlantic, NPR News, and The NY Times). The interface is awkward: content tends to be squished while white space is not utilized. The journalism is as good as it gets; PhilStar is one of the top newspapers in the country after all. But please hire a good graphic designer!

really great! it's easy to navigate and design and layout are simple and uncluttered. it's great that all the news are all just there. it's a no fuzz app which is great for a news app. that's how it is supposed to be done.
