  • Glitchy App

    By Logan 1971
    I have had repeated issues with the app’s performance. When I attempt to open articles in the news feed, the article opens and then closes automatically a few seconds later. I worked with someone from customer service… they had me delete the app and then download it again. It had not corrected the problem. I have also noticed that many of the Chiefs sports articles do not have the referenced videos attached to the correct article. This needs attention!
  • Not all articles available thru the app

    Sometimes I see an article of interest in social media but when I search for it in the KC Star app it is not available. There is a message in the under the apps search field that says not every article is available and go to the web page. Why bother with the app if I can’t access everything I am paying for.
  • Videos stop playing

    I like everything about the KC Star app except the news videos that posted. Whenever I play a video in the app about halfway through it abruptly stops to buffer, but it never restarts. I have to close the app and restart it. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it without any success in resolving this issue.
  • Audio override still a problem

    Thank you for fixing the Apple Private Relay issue. Now how about fixing the audio override problem? If audio is streaming on a device when the app is launched the app immediately overrides whatever is streaming without any audio being played through the app.
  • Too much of the screen blocked by ads (25%) when using iPad

    When using the eEdition, pop-up ads block about 25% of the reading screen on my iPad. Customer support is very poor.

    What happened to the KC Star? This paper has gone downhill thanks to completely biased reporting. Does the publisher realize that in this case, spitting out the same garbage as the national syndicates whose numbers have plummeted to all time lows, imitation is not the best form of flattery. Don’t waste you’re time with this drivel until they get back to unbiased reporting.

    I’m a paid subscriber. The log in portion of the app does not work on the iPad (it does on the iPhone and through a browser). I attempted to call customer service and received a recording to call back during regular business hours. However, the recording didn’t state the business hours and the hours do not appear to be shown on the web page or within the app. Overall, a frustrating experience.
  • No search for iPad

    For a publication of this size, you’d expect to have searchability.
  • Where are the comics!!

    Pulling up archived papers works really well, but the home tab always displays an error and never loads any current articles.
