The Straits Times

the perfect choice if you're a fan of bugs and non-critical, state-approved journalism! Imagine trying to stay informed, but instead of news, you’re greeted by the sweet, repetitive joy of app crashes. It's as if the developers thought, "Why stop at news when we can also offer frustration?" And the content? Well, if you’re looking for groundbreaking stories, look elsewhere! The Straits Times seems to take great care in ensuring you never encounter a controversial thought. Critical journalism? Not here! It’s all smooth sailing for the powers that be. But hey, if you like reading what feels like press releases, you're in for a treat! So, if you're after an app that’s buggy and avoids anything that might offend the status quo, The Straits Times app is for you. Get ready for endless loading screens and government-approved headlines!

App works decently well. However it takes up 4GB of space, with no way to clear it. Why would a news app require that much space?

Does anyone the apps after it is developed ? I have multiple ios devices and all of the apps hang whether reading articles or ePaper. The app would freeze for seconds or minutes before responding. It's the same for ST, zaobao and BT.

Latest version doesn’t work properly. 60% of the articles don’t load when I click thru the headlines. All I see is the headline and the leading photo. Will unsubscribe soon, if Straits Times cannot deliver news that we can read.

The home page doesn’t load…keep showing “your connection was interrupted. Please try again” even though there’s no problem with my connectivity. I have no problem loading the e-paper.

I upgraded to new iPad and the Straits Time App no longer loads. I get a white screen and then it shuts down. Any advice to get it working agaIn?

Bad usability. High cost. Still serves you ads even if you pay. Ads are always clicked by “accident” no matter what

Two things… I am in NY and now it is saying it can not find the server…. I have to use a vpn in Asia to be able to load content from ST. Even if i subscribed fully still dont have access to everything

ST and CNA need to change their back swipe to take you back to the main page, not the previous article. You are the only news app that does this. If I skipped articles, there’s a reason for it. Why force me back to them?

The ads are so easily triggered while scrolling. Any slight brush causes the browser to open with the ad. I can’t get through a single article now without accidentally opening these ads multiple times. The latest update now also has full screen ads that moves the close button around. Sometimes this button is camouflaged with the background so you can’t find it causing more opening of ads. Such cheap tricks to increase clock through to ads is not what I expected from a respected news source.
