### 4/5 — Why 4/5

*2025-05-19, version 6.3.0*

Non subscribers appear to get highlights earlier than subscribers - surely not right! Why subscribe?

### 4/5 — Cookie accept a problem

*2024-11-28, version 5.4.0*

I enjoy the Bel Tel but when u open a headline it takes u to a page to accept or manage cookie. 
The accept button just freezes and u cant read the article. I wud rate 5 star if it wasn't for this issue.

Great app helps me keep up to date with N. Ireland news from abroad. 
I also enjoy the puzzles

### 5/5 — Belfast Telegraph

*2021-02-10, version 2.0.0*

We receive the Telegraph each day on our iPad, I was having problems with my vision so our son suggested getting the paper on line, this has proved a great success. This is a great benefit in the winter mornings , we do not have to go out to the shop to get the  paper. Over the last week we are having problems downloading, it asks for  our name and our password each day. Before this we just had to hit the app and it opens up. We hope this can be sorted very soon.

### 5/5 — Belfast Telegraph online

*2021-02-03, version 2.0.0*

A great way to keep up to date with the news without acquiring a pile of newspapers. Easily read anywhere on iPhone. Back copies easily accessed.

### 5/5 — A nice surprise!

*2021-02-02, version 2.0.0*

We’ve been readers of this paper all our lives. We are delighted with the online version for different reasons. I find the Crosswords unexpectedly very user-friendly. So far so good!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Recent changes

*2026-04-16, version 6.9.0*

Restrictions on copying text are putting people off using the App.

### 1/5 — Furious

*2026-02-11, version 6.5.0*

Furious

### 1/5 — Sports

*2025-04-15, version 6.3.0*

Very poor standard of journalism in the sports reporting. Keith Baillie : sensationalist. Football coverage extremely poor with very old fashioned views about the game (and I am 78😃).

### 1/5 — Compared to other newspaper apps it’s really poor.

*2024-04-13, version 4.1.1*

Compared to other newspaper apps it’s really poor.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!!

*2021-03-21, version 2.0.3*

Doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Crossword

*2021-01-18, version 1.0.0*

Can read papers but cannot access online crossword. Independent on Sunday ok but still cannot activate crossword.

### 1/5 — Not actually free

*2020-12-24, version 1.0.0*

This looked liked a great app, and it probably is.... for those who sign up for a premium account. Every single current news story I clicked on prompts the sign-up window to pop up. 🤷‍♀️

### 3/5 — Puzzles

*2025-07-23, version 6.5.0*

Unfortunately the puzzle don’t always work even though the I have contacted them on several occasions, its frustrating and detracts from my overall enjoyment of ePapers

### 3/5 — Puzzles

*2024-07-10, version 5.3.0*

Not always able to open puzzles.

### 3/5 — Belfast Telegraph reader for 45 years.

*2020-10-01, version 1.0.0*

I have made the transition to digital reading a few years ago and am happy with same. 

Having the ability to do the crossword online is very satisfying. It seems you can only stop the clock running by exiting the programme which is an awful shame.

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-04-20, version 6.9.0*

Excellent flexible method to carry and  access information privately, anywhere and at anytime! Very user friendly 👍

### 5/5 — Ready to read

*2025-06-30, version 6.5.0*

A great way to keep up with the news in Northern Ireland from the respected BelTel, with the added bonus of its Sunday stablemates, the sensationalist Sunday Life, the even more scurrilous Sunday World and the more respectable Dublin-based broadsheet Sunday Independent.

### 5/5 — The Telly

*2025-05-29, version 6.3.0*

Very enjoyable read

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-04-16, version 6.3.0*

Beltel apps are the best apps around

### 5/5 — Review of Belfast Telegraph

*2024-12-28, version 5.4.0*

I’m a subscriber to Belfast Telegraph so I can read it no matter where I travel. The journalists are amazing, fair and accurate in their reporting. I always enjoy the articles by Sam McBride and Allison Morris...
Wishing the paper continued success in 2025...

### 5/5 — Belfast Telegraph

*2024-11-29, version 5.4.0*

It is very handy for me to have the on-line version of Belfast Telegraph since regular access to printed edition in shops is not convenient daily. The on line edition is actually easier to navigate. I have relied on BT for fair reporting of NI affairs for a half century and more past. Long May it continue. Adding Sunday Independent is also significant added value.

### 5/5 — Belfast Tele

*2024-04-25, version 5.3.0*

Read this nearly everyday. Keeps me abreast of the latest news in Northern I reland. Could possibly do with a section on the top international news stories also.

### 5/5 — Quality always

*2023-11-26, version 4.1.1*

Continues to be a high quality newspaper . Broad spectrum of news and lifestyle and entertainment. Very good value.

### 5/5 — Managing Director

*2022-12-07, version 4.1.1*

Brilliant paper, truthful informative articles
Readable for any age

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2022-09-12, version 4.1.1*

Love to read the Belfast Telegraph on a daily basis. It is great to read local news written to such a high standard. Keep it up. 
Ps Any chance of a crossword puzzle?
