Ratings and Reviews
EXTREMELY battery consuming in the background
I noticed my iphone 11 has been charging more frequently than before. when i checked on the Battery in Settings, it baffles me.
It says, 1 hour 10 mins on screen, 14 h 8 m background!!!!!! By the way, i already turned off the background app refresh feature on my iphone. but wow. and i can’t even do anything about this as there isn’t a data saver mode or sort.
first, Star asked us to create an account and sign in to get full access. after readers complied, they strategically start asking for subscription fees. it’s alright. in fact i was ready to pay to show support to malaysia journalists.
however, Star. YOU REALLY NEED TO UPGRADE YOUR APP FOR PRESERVING THE PHONE BATTERY. 14 hours background activity versus one hour on screen is just ridiculous.
Becoming a tabloid
Rubbish app. Non stop popping up ads. Will not renew subscription. The news portal is turning into an advertising platform for people to browse ads more than to read news.
Full of ads
The Star used to be my favourite newspaper since young. Been using this app for few years now. This iapp is full of ads. Avoid at all cosr unless you like reading adverts.
