I do wish though you would cut out the puerile puns and play on words. Why are editors obsessed with them ? One good one now and then would be far more effective. Nigel Fortnam Lyme Regis, DT7 3HX ### 4/5 — Puzzles *2024-04-07* Since the beginning of COVID I’ve contributed to the Express and looked forward to the daily puzzles. But no longer! Why make Sudoku ‘so hard’. I don’t do ‘notations’ and as a result I can’t get started on weekdays. Come on, why make it so hard, I enjoyed the puzzles and the newspaper. Now some days I can’t be bothered even opening the paper, so for me my day is spoilt. For me there’s no joy or satisfaction from working on puzzles that can’t be solved unless you spend hours working on the puzzle. Come-on ‘give us a break’! Adam Watson. ### 3/5 — No news *2024-01-27, version 5.7* ENOUGH with prettiest places. STOP IT ### 2/5 — Ads ruining experience *2023-10-25, version 5.7* Crusader crossword available online but now subject to so many advertisements it’s just not worth it ### 1/5 — Worst app ever! *2022-09-09, version 5.4* This is an awful app. The links don’t work, it’s not optimised for mobile devices and is flaky at best! Whoever wrote it needs shooting, they clearly don’t know how to write an app! I’ve emailed the developers and got no response! What a waste of time! ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2022-08-15, version 5.4* Not happy at all with this app, doesn’t work properly on any of my devices. The top of each page is cut off and when I try to enlarge print it only works on about 50% of visible page. I have tried updating the app but nothing seems to improve the situation. ### 4/5 — Newspaper *2022-08-12, version 5.4* We have had this paper since the day/month we got marries = April 1962 so it fits ### 2/5 — Terrible app *2022-08-10, version 5.4* The app keeps refresh going to retry all the time when finding puzzles very frustrating ### 2/5 — Daily express *2022-08-10, version 5.4* Since changing the online format of the express I find it much worse Some days it won’t open or download and today there is no image at all!!! Thinking of u subscribing in favour of the Mail ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2022-08-09, version 5.4* It’s very frustrating to use. Every time I attempt to open the paper, I get the message “we are experiencing technical difficulties…….” ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — If I could give it no star I would *2025-06-10, version 5.9.4* Censorship has now reached levels that it’s not worth commenting. Even the word Useless is now censored. In two words. DONT BOTHER. ### 1/5 — If I could give it no star I would *2024-12-05, version 5.9.4* Censorship has now reached levels that it’s not worth commenting. Even the word Useless is now censored ### 1/5 — Broken *2024-09-07, version 5.9.2* The latest version is terrible ### 1/5 — Access *2024-08-29, version 5.9.1* I can’t get into the app but maybe my subscription is just for the digital app and not the Newspaper app ### 1/5 — Right wing clap trap *2024-04-18, version 5.9* I tried the Express for 2 weeks for free, I won’t be paying for this right wing rag that appears to be a mouthpiece for the worst government this country has ever had ### 1/5 — This app is very poor *2024-03-17, version 5.9* This app used to be brilliant then it changed about a year ago, it’s been rubbish ever since. Tigger928 ### 1/5 — Fails to arrive *2023-12-09, version 5.7* To many times I sit down to read my morning paper but the app hasn’t updated ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-10-12* Just gets worse and worse. Keeps flipping out, endless hypnotic circles flashing in and out. Appears to download but has not, get on the train and it disappears. Keeps causing the iPad to reset. It was good when the app first came out years ago but every iteration has made it worse. Getting to the stage where I am going to cancel my subscription as it is becoming unusable. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t download *2022-11-02, version 5.4* If I could read it I could review it ### 1/5 — Rubbish app *2022-10-27* Previously had Daily Express on an annual basis, came for renewal earlier this month, would not let me do it. Finally managed to get a 3 month subscription, thank goodness I only did this. Today this crap of an app is rejecting my login details and has the cheek to say if I want the paper I have to subscribe again. AVOID. Thursday 27 October. At last the app allowed me to gain access to a full copy of the paper. Mega problem! The only paper I can access is for 25 October. Cannot get anything newer. Don’t waste your time with this rubbish ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Express right on! *2025-11-21, version 5.9.6* Concise and with the right, conservative, sensible opinions. Good read and great value. ### 5/5 — S Express Crossword *2025-08-30* I find the S Express Crusader crossword very good but it would be helpful to have both sets of clues as it is in the printed issues! ### 5/5 — Early morning News on app *2023-07-05* It’s great to receive the up to date local & national news before the day begins! ### 5/5 — M flint *2023-07-01* Great value , could do with an extra letters page, very hard these days to get my opinion printed, otherwise I love it👍need larger readers opinions letters page 90% of letters hit the nail on the head and reassures me and my husband are not alone in our anti woke feelings, wokism is what’s destroying our once proud nation. ### 5/5 — Brilliant paper *2023-03-17* I've read the Express for a couple of years now, I love it. Thanks for making the app accessible with VoiceOver, I'm blind, and it's great to be able to read the paper like everyone else. I also like that most pages can be changed too show each article in full screen, articles are much easier to read with VoiceOver when they're in full screen. ### 5/5 — My Daily Express *2022-09-05* I have read the Daily and Sunday Express since the 1960’s . I did go over to The Daily mirror for a while but soon changed back to The Express. My favourite is the Readers Letters page and I have been lucky to have had a few of my letters printed over the years. The Sports pages are also top notch and with the weekend magazines what’s not to like. ### 5/5 — Subscription Renewal *2022-08-09* Really good value for money. However, on my monthly subscription day,I am ‘locked out’ until I put in a subscription number,—- which I have never been given! So, it’s a frustrating time, trying this and that, until, more by luck than anything else, it appears! Would have thought it would be automatically done as I subscribe regularly. ### 5/5 — What have you done *2022-06-15* The newspaper won’t download properly since Friday keeps missing pages when we eventually get it on ### 5/5 — New format new format I don’t like please go back. *2022-06-14, version 5.1.2* I’ve had the ex ### 5/5 — Print too small *2022-04-27* Why is the print too small when using my iPad? I'm finding it very difficult to read and am thinking of cancelling my subscription. Please can anything be done about the small print? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
