Fantastic service
It’s so important to me to be updated on the latest news etc whether local or national and this app brings it to my fingertips anywhere and anytime. Brilliant and extremely professional service. ThanksNoris1961
Horrible redesign
The app has gone from busy but interesting to sparse and unfinished. Content remains interesting enough but the user experience has gone downhill. Poor navigation is not helped by the fact that the tabs on the top of the screen are limited to four (three of which are variants of news and have a great deal of overlap). Sport is reduced to just a single tab - no ability to tap on Stoke City, Port Vale or even a Top Sports Stores tab. A weird approach to digital design, in which minimalism (or simple laziness) takes precedence over helping the user. Feels like it was done by somebody who has never used a news app. (Did you bring in a design agency? That might explain it.)
I hoped that the redesign would be tweaked over the past weeks, but that hasn’t happened. Nor has the new look proved any better after weeks of using it.
Anyway, all is not lost. A revamp, with better structure, improved navigation and more helpful layout could turn this around. Get working on it! (Please.)Show lessBig Tram
Developer Response
Hi there, you can edit your tabbed navigation by adding any topic you like from the Discover View, this includes tabs for Stoke City and Port Vale, among many others. Tap the Discover Tab at the bottom of the screen, then tap the plus button next to any topic you want to see in your tabbed navigation. Or simply view that topic by tapping its name. There are many new features in the app, including Tag navigation, simply tap any Tag at the top of any article, to view more related content. We hope you will reconsider your review.

The best app I have found so far for local news with not too much delay between the event and the reporting of it. Initial reports are a bit short on detail, usually waiting for statements from the agencies involved, but it is easy to follow the blog to get updated as more news is revealed.Frepio
Brilliant
Great app keeps you up to date with the latest news . Fast notifications as it happens😜🏁
Very confusing at times
When an article appears with a video included
then when I click on the video arrow a totally
different report is shown, and not related to the article. Please sort this out!l
Rubbish app stories are not cleared and some are well out of date. The weather forecast is totally over exaggerated, tonight says heavy snow but national forecast does not confirm.Show lessPepsikoff
News Updates
Great app, keeps me up to date with local issues, as well as breaking news.
One criticism, older stories need to be removed quicker, as it can get a bit confusing after a few days as to whether it’s a new or old story. Otherwise spot on. It’s a 5 from me.49ball25
Too much muddle
Too muddled with stories lasting for weeks sometimes. If you see ‘M6 closed’ you will take it at face value, not noticing that it’s a week-old story! Recently there were appeals to find a missing man, notwithstanding the fact that a later report stated that his body had been found.
Stories are often repeated, sometimes four times in Top Stories, News, Newcastle and Stoke.
Too many postings are allowed from vicious right wing ‘gentlemen’ with moderation only when there is a complaint. This is unlikely as most of your correspondents agree with the crude and violent views and therefore don’t complain.
The Sentinel’s use of English Grammar is often an embarrassment.
Complaints to the Sentinel hierarchy have no effect. They are treated as an inconvenience from readers who should keep their views to themselves.

I love this app!
Really good app for keeping me up to date with local news. I find the alerts particularly useful. Much better than searching the website I feel.Alan Partridge "Ah Ha!"
