Shameful!

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

Was okay. Now gatekeeping news

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.

Terrible

Terrible layout and far too many ads.

Useless

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

What a waste totally useless reporters

Most reviews you can’t leave a comment

App not updating

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

Needs fixing

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.

No update on top stories.for over a week.

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.

Rubbish

Never updates properly

What’s happened ?

What’s happened to Bristol live ?
It used to be informative and up to date. I’m afraid it no longer is.
My local news is trivial and regularly two days old.

The Bad News App

Depressing headline after depressing headline 😞

Excellent news

Very surprised about how much information I can get

Mr

This app constantly crashes, very poor.

Hopeless

Forever showing wind up articles poiliticly biased and app keeps going wrong

Tracking gone crazy

The amount of cookies this app uses is ridiculous. It’s got to be in the thousands. There’s also no easy way to decline them all -look in the vendor list. It literally took me half an hour to go down the list to turn them all off. Unacceptable.

Problems again

How many times does this site crash before you do something about it?

Enjoy app

I like to see headlines for my local area. To the point and useful

Bristol Live App

The information on numerous subjects are okay, but, sometimes l’ve clicked on a link to read stuff, up pops something entirely different from what l expected!? Bit annoying really to say the least.

Response from developer

Hi, we'd like to apologise for the inconvenience caused. Could you please give us more details about your issue at mobile_app_feedback@reachplc.com so we can help you better? What items exactly are you referring to, Push Notifications or Articles? If you could please give us one example of those on the address above so we can investigate what could be happening, that'd be great. Regards, The ReachPLC App Team

Comments link gone

Yes,comments sections can be awful, but if you did leave a comment you could see in the app if anyone had replied. Now you get an email notification (not especially wanted) with what usually is someone’s terrible reply, which then takes you to the website not the app. It’s hard to refind stories in the app. So that was a good feature and it’s a shame it’s been changed.

Great app...but

I love this app and the news is up to date. The comment section is full of trolls who have nothing good to say about the writers of the articles which is a sad indication of the world today
