Please fix....still....

Toronto Star, Can you please fix this app once and for all?! I really miss reading the Star as my go-to news source but simply can't because of a terrible app. It's simply a horrible experience and pushes me to other sources. I don't use a tablet (with star touch) only mobile but it seems the Star has ignored this user base.....Sad as I enjoy the Star but they just don't seem to enjoy their readers....

Disgustingly biased

Great if you want to read endless critiques of everything Trump does. Not the app to download if you are just trying to read the news, this has turned into a gossip site to hate on Trump, and ironically to write about how much hate Trump creates. Wouldn't be a shocker if this paper begins to run into the same issues multiple papers across the U.S. are experiencing. Is it really that difficult to write unbiased news? At this point I can likely download any anti-Trump app and it would fit as a perfect replacement.

Used to like the Toronto Star but now...

The star has been very anti Trump to the point where no neutral journalism is taking place. It's become an obvious sad joke. App doesn't show most of the news content - so useless for keeping up with what is actually happening.

Used to be Decent

This app used to be just fine for reading the news but has gone downhill recently. It's a news app so I don't expect or want it to be ultra flashy. The previous versions of the app seemed to understand this, and while the current version is still nice, it annoys me beyond belief when the main screen refreshes every time you back out of an article. This adds a lot of wasted time and data while waiting for the main screen to refresh every time. Still better than Star Touch though.

Ok app

Good it has search, but also need to be able to zoom in on pix on iPhone. Pix often too small to read so I use ur competitors' apps instead.
Core Graphics
The Core Graphics framework is based on the Quartz advanced drawing engine. It provides low-level, lightweight 2D rendering with unmatched output fidelity. You use this framework to handle path-based drawing, transformations, color management, offscreen rendering, patterns, gradients and shadings, image data management, image creation, and image masking, as well as PDF document creation, display, and parsing.
Launch Services
macOS Launch Services is an API that enables a running app to open other apps or their document files, similar to the Finder or the Dock.Launch Services eliminates apps having to query the Finder to open an app, document, or URL for them. The macOS Finder itself uses Launch Services to perform such tasks. Because the Finder performs no additional processing beyond calling Launch Services, any client using Launch Services for these purposes behaves identically to the Finder.
System Configuration F...
This collection of documents describes the programming interfaces of the System Configuration framework. The System Configuration framework provides functions that determine the reachability of target hosts in both a synchronous and an asynchronous manner. It also provides error detection facilities.
AVFoundation
The AV Foundation framework provides an Objective-C interface for managing and playing audio-visual media in iOS and OS X applications.
Core Foundation Framework
Core Foundation is a framework that provides fundamental software services useful to application services, application environments, and to applications themselves. Core Foundation also provides abstractions for common data types, facilitates internationalization with Unicode string storage, and offers a suite of utilities such as plug-in support, XML property lists, URL resource access, and preferences.
Core Location Framework
The Core Location framework lets you determine the current location or heading associated with a device. The framework uses the available hardware to determine the user’s position and heading. You use the classes and protocols in this framework to configure and schedule the delivery of location and heading events. You can also use it to define geographic regions and monitor when the user crosses the boundaries of those regions. In iOS, you can also define a region around a Bluetooth beacon.
Foundation Framework
The Foundation framework provides a base layer of functionality for apps and frameworks, including data storage and persistence, text processing, date and time calculations, sorting and filtering, and networking. The classes, protocols, and data types defined by Foundation are used throughout the macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS SDKs.
MobileCoreServices
Use uniform type identifier (UTI) information to create and manipulate data that can be exchanged between your app and other apps and services using MobileCoreServices.
Quartz Core Framework
Allow users to browse, edit, and save images, using slideshows and Core Image filters.The Quartz Composer API supports processing and rendering graphical data and allows developers to create custom patches for the Quartz Composer developer tool. ImageKit provides user interface support for browsing, editing, and saving images, showing slideshows, and browsing and previewing Core Image filters. PDFKit is a technology that allows applications to display and manipulate PDF documents.
UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
