-- Mar10n, 2020-03-27

### *---- "Blinking"
When you open app, it keeps blinking. I think it’s trying to refresh itself too often, like every second. Problem is you cannot scroll down to choose the next article to read as it resets back to top page of a portion, e.g. business. This is true from iOS version 11 until 13.3.
-- sc888ph, 2019-12-25

### ****- "Please add settings"
Please add settings to make the fonts larger and to have a dark mode, thank you for this app...

Bring back the old one! This new version is working so slow and it keeps loading everytime you open a news article.
-- Capcomfan, 2018-04-01

### *---- "Crashing after latest update"
When opening the app, prompts downloading latest stories, crashes. Please fix.
-- Carlman427, 2017-10-27

### *---- "App closing itself automatically"

I reinistalled it but the problem is still the same. 

Hoping this can be fixed soonest.
-- Ed_Dimiao, 2017-10-24

### *---- "Love philstar but hate your app"
Just some of philstar app downside:
1. Everyday the screen goes blank
2. News is not updated. You have news that is more than 1 day old in the app.  This if the screen does bot go blank 
3. When you tap on the news that you want to read it goes pfft blank screen then goes back to the headline.

Sayang I prefer PhilStar than all the other broadsheets and tabloids but their app is such a  turn off.  Hope they will update and fix all their bugs
-- Jose Marie, 2017-10-08

### *---- "Not updating for 2-days now"
What happened? I hope this app is not dead already... I love Phil Star... but by the looks of it, the admin of this app don&#039;t care at all.
-- Egay B., 2017-01-24

### *---- "WARNING: BIAS NEWS and REPORTS !!!!!!"
NEVER EVER DOWNLOAD THIS APPS. All you will about to be read a bias News
-- Brianne12po, 2016-08-17

### *---- "Editorials"
Dear Sir / Madam,

How come the OP ED writer&#039;s name is no longer displayed?  Are we to guess who wrote the article?

Also why have a political opinion piece in your Lifestyle section (4 June 2016).  If your writer wants to do such then have that person in your OP ED roster.

Thank you.
-- kubelwagen, 2016-06-03

Its not updating anymore. Kindly fix
-- T0bey, 2016-05-30
