With various established local news companies beginning to develop their own iPad news apps, the Malaysia top selling English newspaper, The Star, Malaysia, has finally joined the crowd. The app features a downloadable offline issue, which is updated frequently (not available for certain days), and also an online news feature, which link you to The Star's online news page. It is noticed that the offline magazine style version doesn't really include all the news from the newspaper, instead, it is more of a magazine delivering the featured and significant news, opinions, media, etc. If you are a reader who desires more than just featured news, I would suggest you to check out the online section of the app.
Back to the downloadable issues, it's pretty easy navigate through the pages, as simple as scrolling and swiping. The graphics and news arrangements make this news issue pleasant to read. However, it would be more delightful if they could include more news in the downloadable issue and update it more frequently.
