The Minnesota Star Tribune App Reviews

It’s a shame with the new digital format that I cannot grab specific categories in Sports (ie, Twins, Vikings, etc.) to weed out stuff I don’t otherwise care for. On late Sunday (Aug. 4), the top item in all of sports — which I would expect to be the biggest news of the night, anywhere — was the Canterbury Downs results? Seriously? C’mon. Also, what happened to the reader comments with stories? As a retired copy editor, I see errors in stories — to whom do I report? Best I can see, reporters’

Loving the new on line format.

Sad to see my hometown paper loose its standards and commitment to quality. The app is like lipstick on a pig…

When I open the Strib it tells me to UPDATE. After hitting the green update sign I am taken to the App Store. There is not an option there to “update” only to “open”. This App has worked for me for years until recently, giving me references to “uodate”. I did perform an update the first time, I have even removed the App and reinstalled. What is the problem?

Week 2 of crashing…have updated app when instructed by Star Tribune but now a second weekend of snafus. Dare we hope for a credit on our account? Nahhhh

The new version includes frequent interruptions with layover banner ads that you have to manually dismiss, whether you’re a subscriber or not. The app often crashes.

Please please please make the app capable of zooming pictures. The app is for a phone-size screen, so expanding pictures is crucial for readers. Maybe it’s costly to do so. Not sure why it’s taking this long for this improvement. Thanks.

Suddenly the new version has no comments to read… often the best part in the sports and editorial areas. What happened?

After updating and selecting “open” I got…. A blank screen.

Hey how about when I click on the alert of a story, it goes to that story? Here’s another pie in the sky idea: a search bar that works??? Any search of a current story brings up old unrelated news from 2021. Is it just that the people at the top are old and don’t know how tech works? Whatever it is the UI of strib app is not great and that’s not news
