Local news online and less paper wasted - all good until you try this app for Android - the screen lag is truly appalling even on the fastest of tablets. Got to do a lot better than this for me - the iPad app works fine so why not this? Whatever you paid your developers go back and demand that they fix it at their own cost - this dreadful piece of coding is costing you customers and provides a totally unsatisfactory reader experience. One star - because I can't give any fewer!

This app worked reasonably when installed on my Nexus 7. Now, since installing on my Samsung Galaxy Note, it has been a pain in the a***! Listview doesn't work at all and I frequently have to re-install because the latest edition of the newspaper does not appear (only the last edition that I actually read). This app is in serious need of an overhaul!

As I was entering my bank details into the online app form I had this niggling doubt in the back of my mind telling me it was going to be nothing but hassles .. and I was right :-/ I have a Sony Xperia handset and I've installed the Shropshire Star app on to my hand set but it hasn't worked once, not even once since I installed it 4 days ago, I'm very disappointed to be perfectly honest with you and I am just glad that I was only trying it out on the 14 day free trial. I will defo not be paying for this app that's for sure !! Do anyone from Shropshire Star read these reviews ?? if so it would be really nice if someone could tell us what the problem is ?? you haven't got any ratings so I take it the app hasn't worked for anyone else either :( I am goin to give it a Cpl more days in the hope that Shropshire Star surprise me and get it working lol but I just hope that if it doesn't work then when I do come to cancel my subscription I don't have any problems and that it does NOT take any money out of my account because I will be far from happy that's for sure !!

Now not working again says can't find subscription but it worked ok yesterday. For a paid for subscription the app needs to be a more resilient than this :-(

Don't bother downloading unless your willing to fork out money to subscribe. Free trail is false advertising! Plenty of other unofficial news apps to choose from.
