An Island Newspaper swith a world view.
As an Island newspaper it must be parochial to satisfy the Hawaiian Islanders at the same time because Hawaï is a world destination it must also satisfy the visitors as to what is happening back home. It manages to do this in spades. My wife and I as snowbirds from Maritime Canada for eight wonderful winters enjoyed reading about happenings in Hawaï while still getting news not only about Canada but also about our home town in thé Maritime, along with happenings in the rest of the world. Although we no longer travel as much I still subscribe to the Star Advertiser not only because it brings ba

Great coverage of local,national and international news!
What more can I say? When in Hawaii I always read the full print addition at least 3times a week, so when I am in Canada, I love to keep informed!

Frustrated...
I don't live on the islands but love getting the local news. I like the fact that the app caches the articles but what sucks is that if you leave the app for a sec and return to it, it automatically tries to update. Unless something changed in the last 30sec, there's no need to update it. This is even more irritating if you're in a subway/underground with no cell or wifi service because the app breaks. I would love for this app to stop auto updating if one leaves the app and have an option to pull-down and refresh on demand.
