Where Does the Stern News App Store Data?
Stern keeps articles and favorites in private storage on Android and iOS. Gruner+Jahr magazine, not the Stern dev tool.
Last updated
News magazine Stern runs a cellular platform package on Android with a matching iOS build. Private storage holds favorites plus article cache. The cellular string hides the brand name from plain view.
Articles come from servers and stay there. Device searches for stern miss the folder because of that naming. Fresh login restores favorites where signed in after reinstall. Favorites stay local unless an account links them across devices. Topic lists need manual rebuild on the new phone where no account was used.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Stern Log Tails?
This post covers de.cellular.stern, the Gruner+Jahr news magazine. Stern Log Tails is a developer log tool with its own data post. Check the publisher before following guides.
Do Stern favorites transfer phones?
Log into the same account where used; otherwise favorites stay local on the old phone. Re add topics on the new phone after sign in. Articles come from servers regardless, so only favorites need attention.
