Put it back please ### 2/5 — Headlines *2025-03-02, version 9.4.2* Be nice if you could actually see the headlines in full for each story, terrible recent updates. ### 1/5 — Embarrassing bad *2023-04-23, version 8.3.4* This app is full of errors & half stories. It is an embarrassment to the city. ### 1/5 — Awful *2023-04-22* Trying to reply to a story where people are actually talking about burning travellers caravans!!🤷🏼 and blaming the local authorities my reply was it’s very extreme they aren’t affecting your life private property etc, but if you feel that way about it confront them basically, no insults aimed towards anyone only towards me, but my reply was deemed offensive and inappropriate, and not posted it seems that whoever is admin on this article is very biased and actively encouraging people to vent their anger towards the travelling community, as people are agreeing with the original post, where I am trying to point out that they are making matters worse, all my replies have been deleted, will be reporting this and the obvious biased opinions, plus your admins, stop people from posting acts of violence towards other communities basically racism at its finest ### 1/5 — Poor journalism *2023-03-10* Too many spelling and grammatical mistakes. Days old articles and quite obvious that the reporters do not live any where near Coventry. Incomplete stories and information. Too many adverts. There should be a newspaper layout available to read as the Coventry Observer does.

The Reach PLC Apps Team ### 3/5 — Confusing *2023-03-02* Trying to cram so many adverts in, the actual news gets lost and the links to Scams is increasing. Takes forever to load but getting better with the new format. ### 1/5 — No button *2023-02-22, version 8.3.1* To deselect all types of ad tracking. Must do each one individually. Uninstalled. ### 3/5 — Can no longer comment *2022-08-24* I used to love it his app but last 2 weeks I can no longer comment. When I try it says my comment has not been added. Why is this? I’ve not been naughty 🤣 ### 1/5 — Unable to comment *2022-08-23, version 8.1.1* Did the latest update and although it shows how many comments are made I can’t see them or comment myself it just says oops there’s an error on the page!! Useless and waste of time ### 1/5 — Shocking *2022-06-25, version 8.0.1* The amount of pop ups on this app make it impossible to actually read any news . Please sort this as I am sure you are losing visitors . ### 2/5 — To much old news *2022-06-22* Getting fed up with site, to many old stories, is the site not monitored, surely anything over a week old needs removing and replaced with current new articles ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2022-02-03, version 7.1.4* It is apparent from the poor reporting that the reporters have no geographical knowledge of the area they are covering,recently there was an article that read,Warwickshire town with the highest COVID rate in the West Midlands,(Rugby)for a start Rugby is in Warwickshire and the West Midlands is an entirely different County. ### 1/5 — Rubbish app *2021-12-07, version 7.1.2* Littered with adverts. Often cannot post comments. ### 1/5 — Still no comments *2021-11-28, version 7.1.2* Despite latest update I still can’t see comments. Just getting messages oops something has gone wrong. Something has changed because I used to get them ### 2/5 — Coventry Evening Telegraph *2021-11-26, version 7.1.2* How many updates does one App need? It’s like every week there is an update !! The App is becoming a Pain, if you are constantly having to update it . ### 2/5 — Not good *2021-07-17, version 7.0.2* The news in your paper on line is great but I do not need Emails to tell me what the news is, it’s so annoying I just delete them asap ### 4/5 — Old news *2021-03-30* Still too much old news left on the site weeks old. The news should be no more than 3 days old, otherwise it makes a boring read. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I didn’t think it could get any worse *2026-02-10, version 26.1.2* The app has been more adverts than news for some time, but the fact that you can only read 20 full articles a week before having to pay a subscription is legalised robbery. I’m deleting the app and will rely on the BBC for local news from now on. ### 1/5 — Ads, ads & more ads *2025-12-25* Full of ads, every few news stories there is a ad, lately, marked as news stories, they have ads to win various products. The level of journalism has also dropped off bigtime with spelling and grammer mistakes, thought the editor was suppose to proof read before publishing. ### 1/5 — C *2025-08-15, version 9.5.6* Downloaded app and it wont open ### 1/5 — Shocking Comments Section *2025-05-12* Virtually any comment you try posting is disabled within seconds. Even positive ones with no foul language or abuse or anything. Will be getting rid of the app now as it’s a complete waste of time and I’m not the only one, a lot of friends feel the same way. Shame as it used to be quite a good local news source ### 1/5 — 20 articles per week unless you subscribe. *2024-02-04, version 9.2.2* Shameful - hiding standard news behind a paywall. ### 1/5 — Waste of time !!! *2024-01-25* This app was only bearable because it was free. NOW you can only view 20 articles a week before being told to subscribe. Why would you pay for a load of cut and paste articles. Also the same face from various businesses pop up giving us useless advice but at the same time managing to advertise their businesses. ### 1/5 — New update is awful *2023-10-22, version 9.1.0* The new setup doesn’t allow to switch stories without going back into the homepage, which is just awful and clunky. It was much better when you could just swipe to go to the next story. ### 1/5 — Old news - ALL ADVERTISEMENTS *2023-05-28, version 8.3.5* If there is NEWS in Coventry you would be better to AVOID Coventry live . It’s quicker to get the facts elsewhere . ADVERTISEMENTS BLASTED IN YOUR VIEW COVERING THE NEWS STORY YOU WANT TO READ ABOUT ! Furthermore the SHOCKING DISRESPECT OF THE DEATHS OF PEOPLE INVOLVED IN TRAGIC CIRCUMSTANCES YOUNG / OLD IN COVENTRY , THESE NEWS ARTICLES ARE BLASTED WITH F#%£ing ADVERTS 🤬ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY NOT THE PEOPLE ! Get stuffed cov live your a DISGRACEFUL ADVERTISEMENT PROFITING GREEDY COMPANY 😤😤😤😤😤 ### 1/5 — Coventry IS multicultural but the paper isn’t! *2023-04-26, version 8.3.5* Continuous spelling mistakes from the journalists are common and they only open the comments up on certain articles to seemingly cause friction between races/areas… but they say it’s unbiased journalism??? They don’t even remove openly racist profiles! Not what I’d expect from a City of Culture!! ### 1/5 — Poor journalism *2023-04-25, version 8.3.5* Poor doesn’t really cover it. Old news and generally anti Coventry-nothing in Coventry that is heartwarming or constructive is ever published- poor moderation of any comments leading to hate crimes and the coverage of death notices is appalling - usually glorifying gang culture rather than calling it out. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Reviews *2022-02-03* Nice to be able to access Coventry area News on my iPhone in OZ Cheers. ### 5/5 — Biased app *2021-05-22, version 6.6.3* You get banned from this app for telling the truth. No explanation… just banned ### 5/5 — GREAT FOR LOCAL NEWS *2021-05-12* Love Coventry News because it keeps me up to date on Local News and what’s going on in and around Nuneaton, Bedworth, Coventry and surrounding villages. ### 5/5 — Very good *2020-09-01, version 6.3.3* Good good good ### 5/5 — Good, but ... *2019-12-27* ... the “Interactive content” connections don’t seem to work for me. ### 5/5 — MR *2019-09-26, version 6.1.0* Brilliant ### 5/5 — Well done! *2019-08-25* I like being updated with the news and everything that’s happening in and around Coventry. Well done!! ### 5/5 — Good local paper *2019-02-15, version 4.2.4* It’s all doom and gloom news but that’s how Coventry is these days. Good coverage though. ### 5/5 — Old news *2018-06-27* Too many of the articles of news are weeks old but still on here, and still too much about Wasps who are not Coventry, just happen to have been “ given” a ground here. ### 5/5 — Coventry telegraph *2017-09-20, version 3.1.10* Living away from Coventry it's great to catch up on home news as it happens. 😀 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
