app constantly crashes, prices changes are communicated, notification show up before the app can access the article I contacted support, they have not been able to resolve any issues and the app still crashes with every article

Fix your app! I don't know which problem is worse. Constantly crashing or telling me to login in again and again and never letting me read the article. You need to fix the app so it works consistently before you consider raising the price. Local news is nice but there are too many other options to pay for something that doesn't work.

The login problem is not fixed. Each day I must log in - which takes six discreet clicks - every day. Please try to fix this problem again.

The login problem appears fixed. The Star app now remembers my initial login every time I open the application. Thank you.

Please fix the app. I have to sign in every time I open it. Or at least enable biometrics or another way to quickly sign in. It's getting very annoying!

Crashing again. Live and then opinion page and it wouldn't open the story. Cleared cache, uninstall and reinstall, no change.
