### 1/5 — Deleted

*2026-06-19, version 26.6.10*

An app that you can no longer read news unless you subscribe to premium - they also control which articles you can comment on, which is very strange. Don’t bother - use the BBC local pages for Bristol

### 1/5 — Shameful!

*2026-05-22*

Can only read 7 articles per week unless you pay. Wouldn’t mind paying for qualty content but most of it is so poorly written or rehashed old stories, that it is not worth it. APP DELETED

### 2/5 — Was okay. Now gatekeeping news

*2026-04-29*

This was a reasonably useful portal for Bristol news. But increasingly the premium label is put on live report reports, effectively forcing you to pay, and making the free version pretty much pointless. It’s a shame, it was nice but now won’t be bothering.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-01-20, version 9.5.14*

Terrible layout and far too many ads.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-07-10, version 9.5.5*

I’ve been trying to update this app for two hours now it’s just going round and round and now I want to delete it but I can’t seem to remove it Eva I don’t know what’s going on

### 1/5 — What a waste totally useless reporters

*2025-03-08, version 9.4.2*

Most reviews you can’t leave a comment

### 1/5 — App not updating

*2024-03-23, version 9.2.3*

This App is so annoying as it does not update, have to uninstall it and reinstall it every day. Help!!!

### 1/5 — Needs fixing

*2023-11-20*

I’m very frustrated with this app. It should be worthy of a 5 star rating but lately I’ve noticed that when I tap on an article & start reading, I get half way through & it disappears. The app logo appears & I have to open the app & find the article & start again. Then the same thing happens again! I’ve got better things to do than get frustrated trying to read something that mysteriously disappears in front of my eyes knowing that I’ll only be wasting even more time trying to repeat the process. Please fix this annoying problem & I’ll be only too happy to adjust my rating & submit a more positive review.

### 3/5 — No update on top stories.for over a week.

*2023-10-05, version 8.3.5*

Normally quite good, but the last week no updates on their top stories, no response when you contact them to inform them. In this 24/7 world this should have been rectified quicker.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2023-10-02, version 8.3.5*

Never updates properly
