Would be useful if it worked!!! Outdated articles often left on for days. News notifications.. when you click on them the app opens, only to find a picture and the headline but no article!!! Then you try and find it within the app and it cannot be found, until hours later. Not great, there have been several updates recently but this bug hasn’t been addressed. Could be so much better if the glitches were ironed out and articles were updated regularly throughout the day.
Shocking
Jonny MUFC Sumner
Absolutely shocking!!!! The news stories covered are ok but that’s just the news!!! The problems are abundant and the news/stories are reported in a feeble and often childish way. Spelling and grammar mistakes are relentless and it’s quite obvious to anyone with a brain that the journalism and reports are almost certainly about manufacturing hits and views on said stories in order to gain revenue!!! Often stories are re used but with a different headline within days of the original article being released..... Often the first three paragraphs are regurgitated tripe of the initial headline, so as to make the reader, repeat near enough the exact same lines in a different order over and over again, to the point where anyone with a brain, gets used to this and skips the first three paragraphs so as not to waste their time.And the new tactic that I’ve noticed, is to open an article to only see the main headline with no story underneath..... the only way to read the desired article is to go out of said article and re enter said article, thus creating more hits on said article ergo generating more advertising revenue, it happens too much to be a glitch or some other excuse which will undoubtably be spewed out!!! Who ever the chief editor is should be ashamed and all the journalist who tow the line should be ashamed!!! Is this what it’s come to boys and girls...... you and your like are ruining free speech and society in general and the sad thing is, most of you probably don’t even understand what I’m in about!!!!Get a grip MEN.
Annoying
Danny2k.15
I’m getting quite sick of this app now. Update after update and still it’s a million miles away from other apps. The last upload said the playing videos issue was resolved. Not true!!The videos very rarely play. Yet most headlines are... watch this. It’s funny the ads play with no issue before the video.On top of all this the app crashes and freezes more than a crash test dummy in a Tesco freezer van!I’ve spent my whole life reading the Manchester Evening News even now when I don’t live in Manchester and over at my home in LA but your making it not worth it. I’m not fighting for the news. Take a look at the sky news app and just start a fresh. I really hope you do get it right eventually but if the next upload is the same I’ll make reading the MEN a thing I used to do.
Developer Response
Hi Danny,We'd like to apologise for the inconvenience caused.On our test devices, the videos are playing as intended so it could be something that's happening on your device or even an edge case that we couldn't reproduce on our end.In order to investigate that better, could you please message us at mobile_app_feedback@reachplc.com and give us more details of this video issue you're experiencing? How often does that happen? Does it happen on all videos? Did you notice any pattern? Does it happen on Wi-Fi, mobile data or both? The same goes for the freezing issue.Be as detailed as you wish all small piece of information can help us to identify what could be causing it. If you could also add screenshots or videos of the issue this really help us to understand what could be happening.Regards,The ReachPLC App Team
Decent but not great

I use this app most days to try and keep up to date on all things local in and around Manchester. There are good stories which relate to things to do with kids and the best eating / dining places in Manchester and they also advise you how to get decent discounts on a lot of things too. This is really helpful. However the traffic updates are never up to date and there have been times the app is reporting heavy traffic on certain routes but when you travel it the traffic has gone. This needs a more up-to the minute feel to it. The general opinion is that it’s quite good but could do with some more meat on the bone to stories that are most important such as high profile court cases, prolific criminals, traffic news, sports news. Overall worth having.
This release is mostly bug fixes, tidy up and maintenance, all meant to improve your experience.
· A small number of premium users were finding the app was losing track of their subscription status. This has now been resolved.
· 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.
