Really pleased they have finally released an app, been waiting for so long. Would have given a 5 star rating but missing out my area which isn’t helpful if you’re searching for local news. I guess in time to come the app will have updates and bug fixes as it is their first.
This one is a big release

That’s what the latest update starts with. What a pity it now doesn’t work on iPad. When I open the app, it notifies me it’s configuring the app then the first page flashes open for a fraction of a second before the app crashes. I’d sack your developers for lack of testing prior to release. A week since notifying the developers of this app not working, it is still not working on iPad 7th gen using iOS 16 Well IPadOS 16.1 came and the app actually opened. But quickly shut down on at least two links so no better. I know that you rely on advertising, but the extent you include needs to be such that the basics work or the app is useless. This is essentially a news app after all. Keep this up and I’ll go back to buying a paper copy as it’s a joke at the moment.This app goes from worse to laughable. If you try to open any comments on an article all you get is “oops something went wrong”. The management of this app need to get to grips with its computer coders as they don’t seem able to do simple things. Perhaps the problem is that instead of being an app that delivers “News” to its users, it has become an app that forces unwanted advertising to such an extent that the people trying to stitch all the different advertising feeds together can’t cope with too many sources using different coding techniques. Go back to basics and deliver the news well and add advertising back in when you have a better way to deal with it causing such errors. If you don’t you’re in danger of losing all your users to other apps with better developers.

You try to put a comment on & when you’ve finished you go to enter it & the majority of what you’ve written doesn’t appear, it stops halfway through sentences so you have to delete it & try try try again until you give up. Recently there’s a pop up that says you e used words they don’t allow but don’t say what they are, I recently tried to say “ selfish people full of their own self importance who don’t believe laws, rules, guidelines apply to them & think they are being clever, well they’re not” & this wouldn’t get past the “word censor” yet other comments have really insulting comments posted no problem. More than once a banner headline has come onto my tablet from this site & yet when you go to look at the full story, it’s not there, sometimes for several hours or never. This really is an awful site, the only reason I keep it is because it does have quite a bit of local news hidden amongst stupid surveys
Almost useless

I usually don’t provide any review unless it is necessary. I am so annoyed with the app. It gives the right information but whenever you get a notification and follow it from the locked screen, it takes you to the article which is partial or containing the title only. In order to read the article in full, you need to find it on the list of other articles. These don’t come in order as per your notifications. Also, any video have an article related picture which I always find completely unrelated to it. This is waste of my time...
This release is mostly bug fixes, tidy up and maintenance, all meant to improve your experience.
We have also overhauled the settings tab to make finding the setting you need quicker and easier to understand
• Some general UI and UX tidy up here and there around the app.
There are bigger changes on the way so stay tuned for more.
