Comments on Marion Star for Android

★★★★☆ Todd Hawthorne · Jun 29, 2017

It works great it's nice to be able to read a newspaper for my hometown

★★★★★ James Walker · Aug 31, 2017

The Marion Star has gone up in journalistic quality over the past year.

★★★★☆ Scott Fulkerson · Jul 1, 2018

Great way to get local news, errors once in a while, but overall pretty good

★★★★★ A Google user · Oct 17, 2018

I really enjoyed this app when I had it. I am sad that I can no longer get this app due to changes that my subscription cannot be added to my Verizon bill anymore.

★☆☆☆☆ Michael Maynard · Jul 11, 2022

Terrible!!! Takes forever to load. It buffers for several minutes every time I open it up

★☆☆☆☆ Amy Eades (Beloved1976) · May 28, 2023

The entire reason I got the app is bc I wanted the actual printed paper. It's been months and every single newspaper is at least 7–10 days late. I can't even use a lot of the coupons. I miss Marion County events. Marion Star blames USPS bc they supposedly don't have a carrier for my area and USPS blames Marion Star. I have patiently waited for MONTHS and hoping it would get fixed. It really sucks bc now I'm in a position where I have no choice but to cancel.

★☆☆☆☆ Ryan Smith · Jan 14, 2018

The Marion Star ought to be paying me to read their paper. It's honestly not worth paying for as there is hardly anything newsworthy about it. The same old articles for days and weeks at a time. Very slow to add anything new
