Non-Existent Informational Value
Kinda had it with the Star Tribune after decades of putting up with bias and marginal reporting. My wife agrees. The paper is now a pamphlet, no doubt due to its only printing of positive things on the left and negative things about the right. The amount of either is down to a trickle. You could easily double the size of your paper if you just printed the data, the info, the dates and times and just what happened. No paraphrases, no chopped clips, no cherry picking of items from a long speech to manufacture a “gotcha”. Full quotes! And a link to the complete speech or video! About once in every 3 to 6 months I actually read something interesting, new, thought provoking and relevant. Andy Brehm is usually the author. We need new unbiased information to inform us. We need clarity on the issues, not just the woke view. See Dennis Prager for help on the clarity issue. We the electorate need to understand the issues clearly so we can make informed choices when we vote. At this point in time, the Star Tribune is not a serious contributor. You have degraded this paper into just another left wing squawk box in a sea of left wing squawk boxes.

Essential Press
The StarTribune provides essential information in a time when junk “information” is everywhere. High quality journalism is needed and the StarTribune delivers.

No notifications?
Are you not sending push notifications? It’s been ages since I’ve received a Strib app notification.

Why does this app still have ads when I pay for a subscription?!
I want to pay for this service so I can read the journalism, not ads for BS online gambling. This sucks.

Good info, poor app
The reporting and stories are generally excellent. But paying subscribers frequently hit the site’s paywall when clicking on feature stories. It’s a long-standing bug and it’s unacceptable for a news app in 2026.

Great Newspaper—Terrible App
The Star Tribune has been one of America’s great newspapers for decades. Excellent writing. And integrity on reporting… something that’s sorely missed in much of today’s media. But this app is junk. On about half the stories it links to pages that look to be taking you to a generic web browser. And—about half of those—require you to log in again… even though you’re already in the app. And—once you click to log in….. nothing. I’ve written to them and basically, they refuse to fix it. The STrib is a great paper. Skip this app, buy a subscription to the e-edition and read it in your browser.

Review
I can never seem to access a copy of the printed version which I prefer

Still a few glitches….
This app continues to have issues with the ability of paid subscribers to read all of the Strib’s articles. At least once a week I will try to read a news item, only to be told that I must be a subscriber in order to view it. I already am. For twenty-five bucks a month, I expect better. Please fix this.

The app is terrible and not user friendly
The app is terrible and not user friendly. Even after a call to customer service I can’t access my subscription reliably

Left wing rag
I used to deliver this as a young boy in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s and it’s shock at how it now scraping the bottom of the barrel. It’s a continual barrage of left wing propaganda. Wake up and report the news and not hit pieces.
