Councillor heaps praise on first class Shropshire Star app

Labour councillor Shaun Davies, who represents the Malinslee Ward, for Telford and Wrekin Council, regularly works all over the UK through his job as a solicitor.

But he can still read his favourite newspaper on his iPad, no matter where he is.

"It's a first class app," said Mr Davies, aged 27 and from Telford.

"Because I travel so much, it helps to be able to get hold of a copy of the Shropshire Star even when I'm miles from a local newsagent.

"The app works out cheaper than buying a newspaper each day too".

Mr Davies is a big fan of the app's page-turning technology which allows him to read the newspaper as it appears on the printed page, but with the benefits of using a handheld device.

"I also like the fact that I can download an edition if I want to save a copy," explained Mr Davies.

"The videos really bring the stories to life too."
