## Ventura County Star Reviews in United States

### ***** "Local news"
Infornmative
-- Native that’s moved, 2026-07-04

### ***** "Easy to Read"
As someone who prefers a paper newspaper on her table, I am pleased with the ease of reading it on my tablet.
-- OldLadyMoorpark, 2026-04-04

### ***** "WHAT ADS? I don&#039;t see any ads!"
*** update***


Update - I got a new phone and lost my subscription- not renewing. And why are important news items for subscribers only? Closed roads, state of emergency declared by the sheriff - ACTIVE SHOOTER on the Heuneme base? The news is supposed to be a public service FIRST, I’m disappointed to say the least!


This is an update to my review since reading the other reviews on here...I don&#039;t see any ads on the new version. And even if I did, I don&#039;t mind. However, I do believe that if someone paid for a subscription based on &quot;no ads&quot; - then they should receive a refund. I, for one, am loving the idea of being able to read as much as I want for free, and I will tolerate the ads for that specific reason.

This version is better for me since there doesn&#039;t appear to be a forced limit on free articles.
The last version had a monthly limit of 10 **free** articles and then you had to pay for a subscription to read anything more that month.  I was never going to pay for a subscription - I don&#039;t believe I should be required to pay for information when the paper makes money already on ads. But that&#039;s me. I&#039;m willing to tolerate the ads so I can get my info for free. Old school &quot;over the air&quot; free TV paradigm. People under 30 won&#039;t understand that concept. 

****The only thing I don&#039;t like about the new version is the real estate section part of the app. I can&#039;t get to my saved searches very easily or at all sometimes*******.

### *---- "Rip off"
Dont bother using this when the la times does a better job
-- Tataviam, 2025-12-11

### *---- "Terrible change"
I want just the original VC star app. New version is terrible. Been a customer for 40 years and will quit this paper if original is no longer available!!
-- Rick W P, 2025-12-04

### *---- "Unable to “send feedback”"
Unable to “send feedback” as directed at the end of a news article.  The send feedback page is just a blank white screen. Nothing better than an inaccessible shadow corp writing articles with AI.  There’s little “local” control or accessibility for our community.
-- Dude dudes tee, 2025-11-05

### ***** "On-line daily read"
I am a newspaper man and have read one daily all my life. Having the Star on my iPad has only enhanced my reading experience. It is my go-to source for Ventura city, county and regional news and events. Keep up the great work.
-- DJGilCA, 2025-10-31

### ***-- "Saturday opine"
Bring back the Saturday opine section.
-- RichyQ2, 2025-09-24

### *---- "Empty paper leans LEFT"
Repeats article two days  in a row. Poor writers.
-- o mcdaniel., 2025-09-07

### ***-- "Way too slanted left editorial theme!!!! Not fair and balanced journalism 🤨"
Too unprofessional copy!!!
