Kansas City Star Newspaper Customer Insights

1. Oh, and it is still pretty much impossible to share stories using the app- do you not want people to be able to see your product on social media?? GIANT FAIL AGAIN, KC STAR.Good news app, but not working The Login button does not work at all.

2. I guess it adds some adventure to my life, but that's not worth what I pay for my subscription.When notifications are shown for breaking news or other articles, and you click on it, it opens the app but not the article mentioned.

3. Very poor communications with subscribersAfter a week of installing and then deleting this app at the instructions of the Kansas City Star, I restalled again this morning and was able to open app twice before it failed to open again.

4. 9/10 times the article mentioned doesn't even show up as you scroll through available articles, so you don't get to read whatever it is that is breaking news.

5. Some views don't provide all news / articles found on page view... For instance, letters to the editor and many other.

6. I literally have to force quit the app every time I close it and try to return to it, or it just hangs on the "The Kansas City Star" screen.

7. If that doesn't work, I need to call customer service to have them "reactivate" the email address associated with the account.

8. Probably the main reason for the "updated" star is the appearane of the Google ads on the left side of the screen.

9. App is poorly thought out... They should have had others test it before putting it out!Disregarding the journalistic abyss the Star has fallen into over the past couple of decades, the app by itself is terrible.

10. App shows a story in section after section (when it is tagged as being in many categories) so I scroll past similar content looking in vain for the actual story I want.

11. tried several ways, including Android settings, but same result.If the star would think of their readers first.
