  • Hangs ALL the time recently

    Does anyone the apps after it is developed ? I have multiple ios devices and all of the apps hang whether reading articles or ePaper. The app would freeze for seconds or minutes before responding. It's the same for ST, zaobao and BT.
  • Articles not loading

    Latest version doesn’t work properly. 60% of the articles don’t load when I click thru the headlines. All I see is the headline and the leading photo. Will unsubscribe soon, if Straits Times cannot deliver news that we can read.
  • Home page doesn’t show

    The home page doesn’t load…keep showing “your connection was interrupted. Please try again” even though there’s no problem with my connectivity. I have no problem loading the e-paper.

  • Ad bait

    Bad usability. High cost. Still serves you ads even if you pay. Ads are always clicked by “accident” no matter what
  • Not stable

    Two things… I am in NY and now it is saying it can not find the server…. I have to use a vpn in Asia to be able to load content from ST. Even if i subscribed fully still dont have access to everything
  • Back swipe needs to be changed

    ST and CNA need to change their back swipe to take you back to the main page, not the previous article. You are the only news app that does this. If I skipped articles, there’s a reason for it. Why force me back to them?
  • Tricks you into clicking ads

    The ads are so easily triggered while scrolling. Any slight brush causes the browser to open with the ad. I can’t get through a single article now without accidentally opening these ads multiple times. The latest update now also has full screen ads that moves the close button around. Sometimes this button is camouflaged with the background so you can’t find it causing more opening of ads. Such cheap tricks to increase clock through to ads is not what I expected from a respected news source.
  • Why ads for paid subscriber?!?

    By Shadow slime
    The ads are the most irritating “feature” in all the mobile apps. If your subscribers are not given the ability to turn off the ads, then please do not charge your subscribers.
  • Slow page loading of downloaded e-paper

    1
    By Jeff Tan YS
    With the downloaded e-paper, each page takes about 2 seconds to load when you flip through the pages, which is irritating and strain the eyes. Please resolve the issue soonest possible or I will unsubscribe Straits Times.!
