## The Philippine Star Reviews in Philippines

### ***** "My favorite newspaper"
Easy to read, zoom in and out feature, and downloads the daily issue immediately. Thanks for continuously providing the truth and keeping this type of media in our country.
-- dnumyarnhoj, 2024-06-11

### *---- "This App is Like a Venus FlyTrap"
This app should be banned as it is deceptive and just wants your money. I will highly recommend Manila Bulletin news app, try it and see the difference. If there's a zero star I'd give this Philippine Star app wholeheartedly negative no star rating. Way to go keep it up.
-- DigitalRosalie, 2022-07-15

### **--- "Renew"
Please check my renewal it’s not working 2 days before it renews
-- JudyUkpin, 2020-09-21

### *---- "Latest Update Not Workin on iPad"
I downloaded the latest updatest last July 25, and from thereon, my Philstar app has not been working on my iPad2. 🙁 I paid the annual subscription, I hope you can do something about this.
-- Ashaman28, 2020-08-06

### *---- "Can’t access downloaded newspaper"
This app is so buggy it’s beyond me. Don’t use PhilStar just anything else just not this app. Most of the button’s don’t even work.
-- Hanlet_Rellik, 2019-10-13

### *---- "Can't open newspaper. Error"
I can't open anything. An error pops up upon opening the app. It reads "There are no view controllers in this project - please open it in editor mode and add one." 

Please fix this. I'm not getting my money's worth. I read this everyday.
-- EGPasion, 2019-09-01

### *---- "Error and scam."
I do not know how to contact the company because the app always encounter errors every time I will open it. My reading schedule has been interrupted. Very inefficient app. Will never renew my subscription once it expires.
-- Joseph Mythor, 2019-09-01

### *---- "SCAM"
Autorenews without your approval and you cannot cancel the subscription. You cannot even login to your account to cancel the subscription because you did not create one in the first place.
-- Jasper86!, 2017-10-27

### *---- "Poor text, ads barely unreadable"
Poor text especially advertisements are barely readable. Comics cannot be read.
-- Andyled, 2017-02-20

### *---- "Frustrating App"
This app works very poorly. There are times when the current issue is loaded very late in the morning but today, when I tried loading the current issue, I was reverted to yesterday's issue. Tried a couple of times but to no avail. It's frustrating.
-- Musikitis, 2017-02-01

### *---- "Venus Fly TrAPP"
Once you subscribe a pop up tells you to go to your account to cancel your subscription at anytime before the end of your subscription period. But if you go to your account, all you see is different pricing options for you to purchase MORE. There is NO WAY TO CANCEL. I've scoured the net looking for a way to cancel this. I've emailed their customer service. Right now, the only thing left for me to try is to call my bank and have them block payment. 

It's like a venus fly trap lying in wait. Once you subscribe they have you HOOKED. They sneakily hide any way for you to cancel your subscription. 

Not only is this practice UNETHICAL and SLY, but the app itself DOESN'T WORK. I can't access ANY of the content that I PAID FOR. 

If I could give this app ZERO stars I would.
-- Kylekrebs, 2016-11-11

### *---- "Very unsatisfactory"
Text are barely readable 👎🏻 i regret my subscription. What a waste 💸
-- FloydPerez, 2016-11-04

### *---- "No available on App watch"
The app is not available in Apple Watch App as indicated in Modern Living Section of Jan 16., 2015 newspaper
-- Kyliciousdy, 2016-01-15

### *---- "Too slow"
This recent update seems to have made the app less accessible. The stories take too long to load and the layout advertising the paper version is unappealing. We downloaded the app so we won't have to buy the paper version. Keep up with the medium.
-- BelligeredBoris, 2015-10-07

### ***** "Nice!!"
So glad they did an App of Philippine Star. Such a help and can make people updated on the news with just one click.
-- Javemariemusni, 2014-07-26

### ***** "Great News. Great App."
Always a fan of The Philippine Star and I'm so happy they came up with this App!
-- Melanie Esponilla, 2014-07-19

### *---- "Cannot get articles even after paying subscription"
I'm using an iPad Air and articles are not accessible even after paying the subscription. DO NOT DOWNLOAD this app until it is fixed.
-- Luis-in-2010, 2014-06-08

### *---- "awful app"
i regret ever downloading this.  i also regret even paying for it
-- Reijirox, 2014-05-12

### *---- "OMG"
I can't delete it help me!!!
-- Handaomehammer, 2014-01-16

### *---- "Steals the Subscription"
I have paid for a 6month subscription; yet, I have difficulty downloading each new issue and now I can't download the October 19 issue at all. They should refund me with my 6month subscription.
-- Lailei, 2013-10-19
