Where did my bookmarks go??

Used to be practical to see the local news.
Now they moved to a “premium” service. So basically every article is premium. So unless you subscribe, you can read anything.
Even old articles!!!
Very disappointing….

Response from developer

Hi, the bookmarks are attached to your email, if you logged back in with the same email address the comments should be available to you, otherwise it'll be recognised as a different account. We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. The ReachPLC App Team.

Now requiring a login

Gutted to let this app go, as it was very useful. But it now requires a log in, via either Google, Apple ID, or an email and I’m not comfortable giving my privacy away. So, bye for now

The app has stopped working

Unsure why it happened - possibly because my smartphone is “too old”. Remember some don’t care about the latest phones and you’re losing money out of slamming us out. Cheers

No options

When you first access the app it asks you to accept or manage cookie preferences. If you try to manage them you have to go through hundreds of vendors etc individually to exclude yourself. The option to ‘not agree to all’ would be so much better. I deleted the app for this reason, I don’t have the time to go through them one by one and I don’t want to consent to them!

App not working

Horrible to see app not working. It isnt even allowing to login with apple or google id. App is updated too. This is happening far too often

IT deserves a raise

I can pass by the articles that in my opinion are not news but, the App is not loading properly, in some articles photos don't load at all. Videos misbehave and are not encoded properly and don't work. If you rotate the phone then you rotate it back it's all a mess. Bad ergonomics and user experience overall. You should give your IT and design a raise. Unusable !

Health care

It’s the Senior Doctors and Governments own fault we never had this problem before, all the hospitals were closed example Whiteabbey and all the other hospitals was the beds lost in these hospitals ever replaced ? I can speak about Whiteabbey they had approximately 20 cardiac beds when it closed they were never replaced.
And there were many more hospitals around the province closed and lost beds never replaced not to mention AandE departments.
So Government and Doctors get on with providing services I have no sympathy for you this was brought upon yourselves, you ignored the people who protested against closures and you just went ahead full steam and done it you knew better now you reap the consequences.

Where are the notifications?

Downloaded this app for the iPad and a new iPhone. This app doesn’t push out notifications anymore?

North Korean level or censorship

I’ve never seen the comments section of any discussion platform so heavily and over-excessively censored.
You can type out legitimate conversation. Not a single profanity etc. And it won’t even allow you to post it. “This message failed to send” you try and reword it (maybe its algorithm is picking up words that are sensitive etc) and it’ll continually give you the same message.
If you do manage to type out something - it’ll show “content disabled” after a few mins.
A cheap little app, ran by (clearly) the most sensitive moderators in existence.
Still soooooo many sectarian elements to this app also.
I’d give it minus if I could.

Invasion

I hope N Ireland is not heading down the same path as Eire which is being swamped by illegals making things difficult for the locals in small villages

Personal data farming app - don’t use

Most cookie / data requests I have ever seen on a site, spent 15+ mins denying consent before deciding to delete app, borderline spyware. An option to deny all would be helpful.

Used to be good.

What used to be a great news app had been destroyed with a requirement to pay for service.

Since the recent update I am getting no news whatsoever.

Belfast more dead than Live app

Full of glitches; will not display my comments, have not received notifications in days. Regularly bombed out of the app. It’s rubbish.

Aggressive marketing

I have never experienced an app where you scroll down and it magically swipes right and opens another article! Wouldn’t be anything to do with artificially bumping up article viewers so that you can mislead advertisers would it?! Shameful!

Unbalanced

Articles are current though somewhat biased in the style of reporting , though that does make it a good debating platform .

Anti Protestant

Anti-Protestant owners & mods.

Bad

I can pass by the articles that in my opinion are not news but, the App is not loading properly, in some articles photos don't load at all. Videos are not encoded properly and don't work. If you rotate the phone then you rotate it back it's all a mess. Bad ergonomics and user experience overall. You should give your IT and design a raise. Unusable !

Review

New update erase my choices and the new updated version is crap rubbish and definitely amateurish and childish it’s outdated as well 1 star is to much

No proof reading

So many spelling mistakes, even medical conditions. Simple web search would easily catch these. Not professional

Rubbish content

Good or bad news you need to report it accurately from an unbiased perspective.
Don’t waste our time with rubbish.
