Can you still get the Sheffield Star app?

 

 

Will Google help in any way?.

The website is poor. The hard copy has vastly improved over recent months.

Is anyone having trouble accessing the Sheffield Star website? I haven't been able to get on it for over a week now.

Funny you should say that, I have the same problem when I use chrome as browser but have no problem (apart from multitudinous adverts slowing things down) when using firefox as browser

I can access it on my trusty old desktop via google but I must say that it is very slow and sometimes crashes. Never that much up to date and they are raiding the police Facebook website for updates to reports thefts etc in certain areas. Not a bad thing because we all need to know what is happening in our own areas.

I don't bother with the Star much nowadays. Repetitive news items. I used to like to read the comments to stories and letters but the fruitcakes and loonies took it over an spoiled it. Now you can only comment through Facebook, I don't use Facebook etc so I no longer bother with it.

The online version is almost un-readable with all the ads and pop ups... even on the fastest of internet connections it loads very slowly.

 

Best bet is to download the 'ghostery' plugin for your browser. Stops all pop-ups ads etc..

I see the Star has now banned ad-blocking unless you register but will it make a difference?

A rag not really worth reading, now making you look at all the adverts to view it on line.

The paper is full of mostly adverts and that's all they are interested in.

Only in a negative sense, used an ad-blocker as the adverts on their site often took up more space than the content...

 

Never bought the paper and wont bother with the website now either - to be honest if its really newsworthy the national press will carry it and if its just local "gossip" then there are plenty of Facebook groups / this forum anyway.

 

Always nosed at the the food section though just to see if anything local was worth a look, although it seemed at times the write ups were more like paid placements than proper reviews .

 

Guess on one hand they save a little bandwidth by blocking people like me but wonder how much they will lose in terms of the "silently sponsored" reviews and corporate news when then web stats show a drop in traffic....

I can only see the Green 'Un. If that's there then surely the Sheffield Star should have an app?

 

Maybe not, just thought i'd ask,

 

Thanks!

The Sheffield star online is terrible.

Bombarded by advertisements,surveys and it’s constantly crashing.

Pity really as I like trying to read the star online.

An app should be great but I don’t know if they have one ether.
