The Straits Times

I received emails direct from The Straits Times to all my 3 email addresses, please can I receive only one copy of The Straits Times per day. England These last 2 months December 2021 and January 2022 I have not been able to connect from my email copy of the Straits Times and can only get a blank screen if I attempt to download direct from Apps The Straits Times Press Holdings just won’t let me open and read the papers. Thank you I of England

★★★★★Mar 15, 2021
App gets worse with each update

Poor usability if you read in pdf format. Older versions of the app allowed a pdf home page and the app would bookmark the pdf page where you left off. No longer with the newer versions which makes reading the paper on the app fairly annoying.

★★★★★Nov 17, 2020
Accidental ad clicks

Navigation has improved. But the relentless pursuit of ad revenue through clicks on ads by having hyper sensitive ads and limited navigation around them is annoying and fraudulent.

★★★★★Apr 20, 2018
Constant crashing

This is a great App but over the last few days it has developed a problem. When clicking on links in the ST Now feed to open the related article, the app crashes. I have re-installed the app but the problem is still there. Please fix ASAP!

★★★★★Jul 2, 2015
Massive improvement!
