Ventura County Star Reviews

Since moving to Ventura from Los Angeles we have enjoyed getting local news through the Ventura Star. While more conservative leaning than I enjoy they do provide the local news in a through manner.

Had a bit of a struggle getting linked to my account. Once I got in works fine. No problem finding my way through it. VenturaCountyStar should mention that there is also a “Print Addition” app to download if readers prefer that format.

The VC Star is great for finding out what is happening in our area. I highly recommend that we support our local newspaper

The local news coverage is great, the new updates have made navigating around the many, many ads a little bit easier.

Update April 2018 - issue with bookmarks still not fixed, even after latest update. Seriously?
--------------- Since Sept update, articles cannot be bookmarked in VenturaCountyStar . Reported this, received email 'we are aware,' but after several more updates, it still doesn't work. I won't update my other Gannet newspaper app (Milwaukee journal) in fear of also losing ability to bookmark stories.

Difficult to navigate. Not informative. Has the quality of an app that was created for 1999. Needs a complete redesign. For a news organization like VC Star, I had higher expectations, especially in the provision of local news. I find that to be fully informed of local news, I must go to KVTA’s website, which often has more coverage (and it is free). Sad.

It’s so nice to be able to pull up my local news. I have had a few issues trying to activate my digits subscription but VenturaCountyStar itself is great. Easy to get around and good content.

VenturaCountyStar is a great way to get your up to date news for Ventura County.

I constantly being asked to subscribe to read a article when I am already a subscriber. Why can’t I just click on. Pain in the….

The stories are old and fresh breaking news is rare. It’s easier just to go to a local tv staton like KTLA’s app.

****update bait and switch subscription ***
The 99 cents per month “come
Back “ offer immediately switched in itune to $7.99 a month. Emails to VC Star went unreturned stay away

It always seems so, complex to open VenturaCountyStar
I pay them in a regular online manner but it’s A struggle to see the paper and read the articles..
not happy with the accessibility..

I purchased the digital subscription but VenturaCountyStar regularly seems to forget that. I’m signed in, it shows I have an active subscription but it seems like every few days it’s telling me I need to subscribe to view an article. When I click sign in, it does nothing or it says that service in unavailable. Lame...

Why do you have so many old stories on your feed?

The best newspaper for local and national news because there is comprehensive reporting and the video footage and podcasts are all newsworthy.

I find it obnoxious that I am a paying subscriber and there are still advertisements that pop up before every other article I open. Use your browser and read the articles ad-free. Very annoying.

The Home Page seems to have much of the current news information. But the local sections have not been updated in five to six months. It's been like this for a long time. My App is the latest version, so someone needs to look at this ASAP!

Need local news done the right way? This is it.

We have lived in Ventura County since 1979, that was the year Johnny Carson said if it snows in Malibu I’ll sign a contact for four more years (and it did).

Lots of stories covering events when they happen and not enough communication of upcoming events and activities to do in this county.

Love having VC Star on my phone. Reliable and informative for me to know what is happening around my beloved VC home turf, and who’s gettin ‘er done!

The news paper just needs faster breaking news on the web , the radio KNX is always ahead of the paper .

I paid for a year subscription so why does VenturaCountyStar constantly restrict my access by stating I’ve read the allotted 6 stories for the month?! Then a “restore purchase” link shows up but it does not allow me to sign in. Super super frustrating!!!

Very helpful

App won't load when you click on a story. I have a paid subscription and no luck. If it does load a story apparently it's there somewhere in between the jungle of ads... !!!!!!!don't subscribe!!!!!!!
