### 5/5 — The Only way to read the Andersonstown News for the modern man

*2013-05-23*

I have found over the years that i never got time to read the local paper, Or when i did get time to read it my mother, father, brother or next door neighbour had "borrowed" my copy of the paper. Well no more! The latest App from the Belfast Media Group allows me to read my paper where i want! when i want!. I don't have to worry about creased pages or ad's cut out. 
Its all mine and for almost a third the price or the paper version.
Great Job guys, I can now keep up to date with my local news on the move. Thanks, 
Danny
