Wales Online must be the most annoying App you can get. Trying to read an article without getting a headache is practically impossible as adverts continually popping in disrupts the text causing it to jump, jump and jump. Given up.Hi there, and thank you for your feedback. It sounds like you are viewing a Mobile Web page, or a Mobile Web page from with inside the app. Our 'native' native articles have very few ads and have fixed positions so there is no jumping around, unfortunately if you click a link within the app which loads a Mobile Web View, we have no control over how that screen is presented. For the best experience we recommend staying within the app as much as possible. The Reach PLC Apps Team"

The worst news app I know of
AlwaysBeBlue
I would love to be able to use an app that provides a decent news service for Wales. This just doesn’t do it and never has. Here are just some of my gripes.You open a news article and start reading, then the pop up adverts start to populate which break into the text you are reading.Lots of the news articles are just so out of date. Some have no date on them at all and they’re not sorted with the most recent first.I commented on an article today and received notification that people had replied to me. I clicked on the notifications which took me to the article. Can I see the replies? I can’t even find my original comments!I see the developer keeps responding to people’s complaints by apologising. I want no apology. I want you to spend the time on taking action to resolve some of the long term problems with this app that have been there for years! And the page on my browser is just as bad…..
Good & bad!

Lots of good news & sports stories, but like others have mentioned, quite often when you click on a story it only opens the headline & you have to go back & then back in it to open full story. There’s also different glitches between iPhone & iPad versions, app regularly crashes on iPad when you click in a story while on my iPhone the app doesn’t save my preferred regions, subjects etc. You select them & they appear on app but as soon as you go out if app & back in it has reverted back to the original tabs. Very annoying! Have tried deleting app on both iPad & iPhone to see if this corrects glitches but it does not.
GDPR WARNING!!!

1 year on and WOL still switching so called “legitimate interests” back on in the update. If you’re not tracking us through these, why aren’t you informing us when updating and the giving us the option to opt-out of them all?Be warned that this app DOES NOT give a REJECT ALL option when you go to manage your cookies preferences!!! I took me over 30 mins to turn them all off (there are literally hundreds) during the update including the so called “Legitimate Interest” options. Went back in to check once in the app and everything single one I had turned off was back on. UK ICO: No "reject all" button is mandatory although preferable. A consent mechanism that emphasises “agree” or “allow” over “reject” or “block” represents a non-compliant approach, as the online service is influencing users towards the “accept” option. Apple please investigate!!!
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.
