Comments on The Windsor Star for Android

★★★★★ Bryan · Sep 23, 2026

★★★★★ Aaron Wiebe · Aug 31, 2017

★★★★★ Bryan Howard · Jun 19, 2018

★★★★☆ Sherri mailloux · Aug 7, 2019
Always find what's going on in this crazy world
★☆☆☆☆ James Collins · Mar 17, 2017
The Windsor Star app is as bad if not worse than the print edition. Breaking news is almost non-existent, anything of significance isn't reported on until hours or days after the rest of the news organizations have run it. Local news is largely a joke. From what once was a major source for Windsors is now nothing short of joke, may as well be reading Upfront again...
★☆☆☆☆ Natalie Stevens · Nov 17, 2020
Was a great app would have given it 4 stars up until a week ago when all it does is flash the blue screen that says the Windsor Star and then up pop's an add regarding power of media. I close the ad, and it's just a vicious circle of the blue screen to the add etc. etc. So disappointed as I used this app as my main news information. Please fix and I will rewrite my review thank you
★☆☆☆☆ Rob M · Apr 28, 2024
Was a decent app overall until the latest update, now it requires a subscription...
★☆☆☆☆ Joanne S · May 17, 2024
I would give fewer stars if I could. The Windsor Star has been a 💩 newspaper for MANY years. I stopped buying the physical paper 8 years ago as the prices kept going up, and the paper kept getting smaller. The only good thing was the comics. I would skim the headlines in the app & check out the obits for free in the app. Now I can't get to obits and to read some stories I have to pay. To be honest, it's not really worth it.
