Honolulu Star-Advertiser

I have been a print subscriber for over thirty years through a couple of mergers and accessed the digital edition since it became available. The print edition is okay given the state of the industry but the digital edition seems a second thought as most stories are hours old and updates are well after other news outlets have posted the information. Also the Question/Poll of the day no longer works as the link is bad. I noticed that the number of people responding has dropped by several hundred each day so other readers have had the same problem I ran into.

Overall not bad but sometimes when clicking on article links, it says to log in to read it even when already logged in. There’s even a link to “log out” on the same screen which logs you out and takes you back to the sign in page. Also, frequently find that the last part of articles are cut off; the app won’t let you scroll further to read the end of the articles. Please fix these. Thank you.

I love the star advertiser: Reading the newspaper that contains content that is not shown in the news(Like science,Q and A, View and Voices section, etc) that helps me learn new words,reading, and the app itself...both keep me updated with the latest news, including KHON2. The slight problem with the star advertiser app is that the login in seems to be broken. Whenever I try to log out from reading the print replica (Digital Saturday’s Mostly), it doesn’t let me log out and I’m still logged in when I leave the app. That is the only issue so far. Lastly, I really love reading the newspaper. Even tho I have the app(Both the Star Advertiser and KHON2) and watching the KHON2 news...the newspaper never gets old! It helps me again learn new words, enhance my reading/speaking skills, and the extra content that is interesting to read. Mahalo Star Advertiser, keep up the good work!

I am a new print and digital subscriber, and this is the worst newspaper app I’ve tried yet. I love getting the print paper the old fashioned way, but I want access on my electronic devices, too. DOES NOT WORK. Seriously, it makes me log in every single time and now it won’t recognize my subscription as valid — even though I double-/ triple-checked that I’d signed in properly. This is anti-marketing. It frustrates me and makes me think a subscription is not worthwhile. Don’t put a bad app out there — it makes me want to cancel the subscription altogether. This is June 26th. See whether anything changes and when.

This app delivers up to date news fast. The push notifications are great. In that regard, I mean they are timely and not too frequent. It is also nice to have the print replica at your finger tips. I will not get into the coverage of types of stories, ugh, but the app is very useful for getting news from The Star Advertiser.
