Star-Telegram eEdition

The Star-Telegram eEdition lets you read the Star-Telegram on your mobile device just as it appears in print. You can flip through pages and skim the headlines of Tarrant County’s leading source for local news. The app allows you to easily enlarge type, jump from section to section, and share articles on Facebook with the tap of a finger. And if you missed the paper one day, don’t worry; you can download editions from the past 14 days.

Reviews

They should rethink this app
dicklanetcu

I had a subscription to the paper version and it went unread because I was consuming news online mostly. Thought this app would be the way to go. NOT! Honestly…they would be better off scrapping this and going to a version similar to the New York times or Los Angeles Times where they don't try to "mimic" the physical paper and just have a solid, attractive, smoothly operating app.


Works for me

I saw all the negative reviews but decided to download the app anyway since I received a note from the paper letting me know that I have the digital version available along with my print subscription (not sure how long it's been available). I was able to login without issue and read today's paper. Having said this, if you already have a digital subscription to other magazines and papers, you will find that this app is comparatively mediocre. It almost feels like you're reading a PDF version of the print. No optimization for digital at all...nothing...no links, no auto sizing to the screen of the iPad. Hopefully this is just a first pass and they will improve.


Another genius "fixing" what isn't broken

The update "New authentication provider for Sign In functionality for current eEdition subscribers" is a user experience fail. I've been an iPad subscriber since it first became available and never had to sign in. Now with this latest update I have to sign in every time with a user/pass. Exceedingly annoying. Some twit who doesn't actually use the app made this decision. I'm strongly considering cancelling my subscription. Star-Telegram: Believe it or not, we can get our news from other sources. **UPDATE** - Feb 21, 2013 - I ended up getting ahold of Press+, and the gentleman who I spoke with removed the sign-in layer. Validated, it is gone. Increased my rating from 2 to 4 as a result.


Inconsistent
BChuckle

The concept is great, execution is greatly lacking. I have had to reboot the app many times as it locks up after zooming in to read an article. When it is working correctly, it is very easy to scroll to next page, section, or article. Please make this work as it is difficult as is!


Duh!

Tried to give benefit of doubt by going to App Support before posting, but App Support site doesn't work either!! App freezes the first time you zoom on an article, then after rebooting, freezes randomly. Tired of rebooting just to read ever-shrinking Star-Telegram!


Asks for email and password continuously

Aggravating


Multiple logins
Texas Lillybug

Does anyone else have to login over and over to read the Star Telegram? I have the iPad app and have to login two to eight times before I finish reading the ST. This is ridiculous! Someone needs to fix this bad app!


Worst user experience
RalphyF1

Have to sign-in every time you open it. No way to change or "keep me signed in" option. Does not connect with links in the articles/stories.


Constant sign-ins
yushasama

What's the deal of having to sign in every time I switch between issues?


IPad app is a great addition
txMark

The IPad app is a great addition to the browser version of the Star-Telegram. Both are user friendly and easy to navigate. You can pinch and expand the IPad app version to make it readable.
