## IndyStar Reviews in United States

### *---- "A step backward."
Since IndyStar updated its app, the enewspaper function keeps freezing up on my tablet.
-- FailseStart456, 2024-12-12

### *---- "Star problem"
Cannot expand on my iPhone so can read!!!
-- "holtsie", 2024-12-12

### ***** "Indy. Star"
Love the up to date articles
-- Rgb9620, 2024-12-10

### *---- "Glitchy app"
I had a 12 month subscription. Three times over the year the app stopped reconizing my subscription. Each time the Star would initally blame apple and i would get apple involved and eventually the star would reconize it was their issue. It wasnt two phone calls each event - it took days

I didnt resubscribe b/c:

1. Too much time wasted 
2. The star doesnt care.
-- indychap, 2024-12-09

### ***** "Balanced and Accurate Journalism…"
Including but not limited to… James Briggs, Michael Hicks, etal! AND GREGG DOYEL and all the sports page staff. Special shout out to Ms. B Kelly who patiently assisted this antique to set up his online account. I prefer the printed word but the Star is hard to come by in Brown County!
-- Mr. Ludd Ite, 2024-11-23

### *---- "Can’t access"
So I paid for my subscription and now a week later I can’t gain access to my account.
-- cfdff162, 2024-11-19

### ***-- "Good  and Bad"
Good sports coverage from high school to pros. News is usually out of date and mostly Democratic talkings points. Was independent news  coverage until USA Today took over
-- Indy paper, 2024-10-27

### **--- "Can someone keep him reporting sports only - Gregg Doyel"
If I wanted his political opinion I’d ask for it. Keep him writing about sports not politics. Last thing I want to hear is him coming into an election year.
-- SCC604, 2024-10-17

### *---- "Terrible"
The fact Gregg Doyle is still hired at this newspaper is a disgrace
-- Doyel is Disgusting, 2024-10-07

### *---- "Don’t subscribe through I Tunes"
Like other users, the interface between IndyStar (and what seems to be other Gannett papers) drops about half of the time.  Restoring iTunes purchases doesn’t work. It would be better to subscribe through their website and then sign in.
-- JES04, 2024-10-02

### **--- "Indy Star"
Average content, clunky site
-- 10ecjohn, 2024-09-17

### *---- "wouldn’t work, customer service beyond bad"
I was a subscriber for a long time when suddenly my access was cut off.  I renewed my subscription through the app, but it didn’t give me access. So I did all the troubleshooting (log out, restore purchase, etc) to no avail. Tried to log onto the website, but got stuck in an endless loop. Called customer support and they say the problem is Apple. They were unhelpful and rude. Wanted me to fax a copy of my credit card statement. I asked if I could email it to them because I don’t have a fax machine but the only other option is mail lol.  Literally trying to give these guys my money and they were unwilling to help. So I did what they said, I called Apple who told me the problem was Indy star. I’m not dealing with this so u cancelled my subscription and Apple is refunding me my money. Sad what USA Today did to a local paper.
-- Chuckles345, 2024-09-07

### *---- "Enewspaper"
I have paid for the enewspaper thru IndyStar several days ago and still cannot get the enewspaper to load. The other sections open fine. I talked to tech support yesterday and the only advise was to try again today! I have tried today and it is still not working. Help! I will call for help again today but it may be a waste of time. If I can’t get what I paid for I will request a refund.
-- Rdone50, 2024-09-06

### *---- "Terrible app"
Approx once per month I’m unable to access subscriber content despite being a subscriber.
-- MeAgain2024, 2024-09-05

### *---- "Does not hold subscription"
This app is constantly giving issues where it will not let me access content that is only available to subscribers even though I have a valid subscription.
-- bobbLouie, 2024-09-05

### *---- "eEdition App is terrible"
You can’t find past issues like the print edition offered plus you have to deal with adds popping up on each page. The print edition cannot be found.
Rich Rardin
-- Kierkebird, 2024-08-06

### *---- "P.O.S."
Won't even load from the notification screen. Why send me a breaking news story if I can't access it? Refuses to store my login info so have to enter username/password every time. Frustrating!!
-- J_Bandit, 2024-07-21

### *---- "If I could only give it zero…"
Extremely difficult. All I want to do is “read the paper” and it is a challenge every day. This morning I can’t even get my workarounds to work!
-- Avidreader1234567, 2024-07-18

### ***** "Cumbersome"
I truly dislike the way the information is organized. I can't tell which articles are new until I click on them. Hate the way you have to negotiate around the minefields of ads that you can accidentally open. Would much prefer a physical paper, but the monthly subscription went to $54, so who wants to pay that much- even to support a free press?
-- DryadGal, 2024-07-17

### *---- "Terrible"
Terrible
-- Othmaray, 2024-07-15
