Why is starch solution used as indicator in Sodium thiosulphate Iodine titrations instead of phenolphthalein indicator?

Phenolphthalein is an acid base indicator - it does not show the end-point in a thiosulfate type titration. Starch gives a very sharp end-point from a blue-black to colorless end-point when titrating iodine with thiosulfate. Phenolphthalein would just not detect this change.
