Best place to get news on Singapore and the world

Good opinion pieces. I like

App does not work, keeps saying your connection was interrupted.

I don’t understand, it has been more 2 years and this issue hasn’t been resolved.

Limiting the number of bookmarks and number of topics that can be (what happened to catering to readers with a variety of interests?) gets The Straits Times a 1 star rating from me.

There are simply too many advertisements (same advertisement some more) within an article, many which I’m totally not interested about. The recommended articles don’t change a lot and even if I’ve read them it’s still there for a good couple of days. I especially don’t like the “more from the web”. These are really not news articles but seem more like advertisements/advertorials. Clicking on them does not go to the web! They are still within the App so you have to click “Done” in order to go back to article at Straits Times. The fact that these articles are placed in a newspaper app, (which, unlike the advertisements mentioned earlier which will bring you externally to a browser) may mislead readers to think that these “ads” are actually trustworthy which is not the case! Really got sick of the same ads. It’ll be better if you can allow one to turn it off. It’ll be better if you classify them outrightly as advertisements instead. You see, Straits Times have been one of our trusted newspapers which we have been reading since young and we hope that it gets better in the digital version.

Please make it work again

- If one is reading articles (under Latest) and a new post came in, app will refresh & bring you to the top. You will have to scroll all the way back manually to where you stopped reading and find the next article to read. Developer could have added a way to allow user to find back last read point (similar to how Netflix knows where which posts you stopped) & continue reading from that point. Alternatively provide user option to disable that refresh feature. - Lacking in basic search feature (filter). Example, under latest - can’t search articles of certain dates. - Not responsive to feedback. - Insufficient bookmark quota - wonder why the constraints? - Web-based bugs (link occasionally when open up prompt signup when user is already logged in in another browser tab).
