The updated app MAKES you view the ads, click to close audio, then click to close video. Option to do that doesn't appear for a long time after the ads start running. I'm a subscriber! I should not have to deal with these. Not gonna renew my subscription when it ends. The reporting isn't as good as it was a few years ago anyway.

This app has the most aggressive ads format I've ever experienced. It displays full page ads when you first open the app and frequently when viewing articles. Some video ads can't be closed and has to be viewed in its entirety. On top of that, the FULL PAGE AD has to be closed to continue reading the article. It's very annoying using this app. Being a subscriber makes no difference. It's not an enjoyable experience reading the news with this app. I guess that's why it's called Star-"ADVERTISER".

Since the latest update, obnoxious full-screen ads pop up within seconds of opening each and every story, I'm forced to log in again (to my paid account) after every 4-5 stories, and the whole app crashes at least once per visit. The multiple text size options include small, small, and small, and HUGE, HUGE, and HUGE. I deleted the app today and will return to the web-based version.
