### 1/5 — Can’t get it to open

*2024-11-11*

Was working fine on my iPad. Now won’t open. Every other App,no problems. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling,nothing . A waste of my money .

**Developer response:** We're very sorry to hear that you have experienced this issue. There are currently no known issues with the app, so it sounds as though perhaps there may be a caching problem with the app on your device. If you can please contact us at nq-digital.subs@newsquest.co.uk, we will be happy to help get this resolved.

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2024-10-21*

A great app packed full of news and Saints updates. Also brilliant to be able to read the actual paper on the app!

### 1/5 — Abysmal

*2024-10-07*

Error fetching feed: … is what you will be greeted with most days. Don’t bother.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback - We're very sorry to hear you have experienced this issue with the app. This is not expected behaviour, so can we please ask you to try uninstalling and reinstalling the app to clear any potential cached memory issues.
This should hopefully resolve the issues you are experiencing, but if you have any further problems, please contact us at nq-digital.subs@newsquest.co.uk and we will be happy to help resolve these.

### 1/5 — Reading an article? It will jump to the page before before you can!

*2023-10-25*

It’s been reported in another review (and the echo denies it happens) but when you try to read an article, it jumps back to the page before WITHOUT YOU EVEN TOUCHING THE SCREEN. 

very poor app and service. Not worth the subscription until it’s fixed.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are aware of the issue in question which is affecting a small number of users and have an update ready to release for the app which will resolve this. This is currently in QA and will be released shortly.

In the meantime, if you can please try restarting your device and uninstalling then reinstalling the app, this may resolve the issue.

Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused.

### 1/5 — Subscription Not Working

*2023-09-30*

I paid for a subscription to get good access, advert free news and items for The Saints.

Now I can’t sign in or change my password. I can’t find a helpline as the stuff online is generic.

I feel as if I’ve wasted my money at moment and I’m no very happy about it.

**Developer response:** We are very sorry to hear that you have experienced these problems accessing your subscription within the app. If you purchased your subscription via our website, you can change your password at https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/my/account/ using the 'I forgot my password' link. 

If you purchased within the app itself, you will not need to login and should be able to relink your subscription by tapping the 'Restore an app-only subscription' button on the My Account screen (accessed by tapping the Settings cog in the top right of the app).

If you are still experiencing difficulties after trying this, please contact our customer support team at nq-digital.subs@newsquest.co.uk and they will help resolve this for you.

### 1/5 — Opening the DE app ghastly music comes on

*2023-09-13*

Whether this is a new trend from daily Echo or not, the poor out of tune, singing of a children’s choir is pretty poor and not asked for

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We don't have any music in the app or anything that would trigger music when the app opens. The only thing I can think of is if you were viewing a video in the app previously and the app opened back up on the article you were viewing and the video started to play automatically that may explain it.
I would recommend closing the app fully and then reopening and hopefully this will remedy the issue. But if it does not, please feel free to contact us at nq-digital.subs@newsquest.co.uk and we will investigate further.

### 2/5 — So far, so good but...

*2023-08-17*

….when you begin to read a story, half way through it will zip back to the main menu without you swiping to do that. Annoying.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback - This is not something we have had reported before and are unable to replicate this issue when testing here - If you can please send us an email with further details of the problem you are experiencing to nq-digital.subs@newsquest.co.uk we will investigate this straight away.

### 3/5 — It’s ok, but no comments option.

*2023-06-13*

I’ve just taken out a subs with the Echo and thought I’d try the app after getting used to the website. The app is generally fine but there is no option to leave comments on articles as there is on the website. If it’s a bug then maybe it can be fixed, but if the option has been omitted for some reason can it be added please?

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. Commenting on articles within the app is a feature we are looking at as a possible future addition to the existing functionality.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2023-03-13*

Can’t open the app it just gives me a photo of ocean village and that’s it! 
Can’t log in on the website because it keeps telling me my password and email don’t match even when I’ve reset my password 😡

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. It sounds as though you are getting stuck on the app loading screen. Can you please try uninstalling reinstalling the app, as this should clear the problem. 
With regards your issue logging into the website, please contact our customer service team at  nq-digital.subs@newsquest.co.uk and they will be happy to help

### 1/5 — Unable to use

*2021-05-15*

Since updating to iOS 14.5.1 im getting an ‘app needs to be updated by developer’ message
