On a pension this is not possible to pay. It is an ageist decision favouring only the young. ### 2/5 — Changes to APP *2026-04-01, version 26.3.7* Since the introduction of charging to read some articles and the restriction on the number of “free” articles you can read the APP has become pretty much a waste of time. Only worth it for the puzzles now. ### 1/5 — Disappointing Update *2026-02-24, version 26.2.5* The new update removes access unless paid subscriber. Shameful! ### 1/5 — Only 20 free reads a week *2026-02-23, version 26.2.4* I’ve removed the app due to the subscription service. It’s not all about the move to subscription though but more about the poor journalism and the blocking of non offensive type comments. After many years I just got fed up with it all. ### 1/5 — Annoyed *2026-02-22, version 26.2.4* Enjoyed this free app and the articles but now it’s just pay, pay, pay! ### 1/5 — Big mistake *2026-02-22, version 26.2.4* You are now only allowed read twenty articles a week. What is that all about ?. So thanks and goodbye. Will now delete app. ### 1/5 — Not very premium *2026-02-21, version 26.2.4* This is a very disappointing app. The news coverage is poor unless you are a Royal Family geek and the format of the screen is poor with only 2 stories per page width which does not offer the reader much choice when skipping through the news also lots of repeating stories all the way through and some side by side. Poor app and needs some serious work. ### 1/5 — Really torn on whether to update? *2026-02-20, version 26.2.4* So on the old version most of the “journalism” is free my wife updated and now has to pay to read anything… so really torn… should I update…pay and still get the same contents? ### 2/5 — Subscription only *2026-02-20, version 26.2.4* Another band wagon jumper who now wants your money unlike before this app didn’t charge. Sorry but you’re about to be deleted ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2026-02-19, version 26.2.3* There are now limits on how many articles you can read in a week. Changed recently, now deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Not worth your time *2026-02-18, version 26.2.3* Make a comment that is in line with their rules and T&Cs but against their ideology and your comment will be deleted. Just a censorship machine ### 2/5 — Latest Reach PLC App. *2025-07-14, version 9.5.5* Sort Order doesn’t work and the App. keeps crashing. ### 3/5 — Comments accessibility , *2025-07-12* Not too sure if it’s me but I am finding it difficult to write a comment in this and the Mirror app ! I start writing my comment on a space at the bottom of my iPad then I can’t see every thing as my comments is still there but I can’t see it to check or to add and the only way to see it is to tap the arrow to post the comment. I’m sure in the passed we were able to see every word of our comments before we posted it but that seems to have disappeared. Anyone have a idea as to how I can see my comments in full before I post them ? ### 3/5 — Crossword *2025-05-13, version 9.5.1* I love doing the various crosswords but cannot record my achievement! It will not let me onto the leaderboard even though my time usually exceeds those already recorded. It’s only a small moan but frustrating ### 1/5 — Comments *2025-04-20* It’s pathetic that this site doesn’t allow free speech. I’m not talking about name calling and foul language, I’m talking about opinions and facts that seem to be too much for the narrow minded people who are so fragile they can’t handle the truth. Please do better. It’s so annoying! I just opened the app and every article is: add this secret ingredient, or the number of words, or do this secret thing. Good grief! Write the article without all the childishness. ### 1/5 — I give up *2025-04-13, version 9.4.4* Don’t bother even the word USELESS is censored. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Robert Edgeworth *2026-06-02, version 26.4.8* This app is not designed for a free subscription. It constantly throws you out of a free news article and constantly blocks further reading unless you want to subscribe to Premium. I am going to delete the app as there are other news outlets that is less frustrating then trying to read this app. ### 1/5 — Dreadful *2026-05-16, version 26.4.8* DE censors too many comments - even when factual. You cannot read full stories by the app. Better to just use the web version. ### 1/5 — Deleted after limited stories *2026-05-08, version 26.4.8* This used to be my go to app for news and the comments were really interesting to read - but since they restricted the amount of stories you can read in the week and all the premium pay only stuff I have unfortunately deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Enough. *2026-04-26, version 26.3.7* Have finally had enough with this app. Deleted from my phone and iPad. This paper is taking us for mugs. ### 1/5 — Cost *2026-03-23, version 26.3.6* It was free, now the DE uses every opportunity to rip you off with a subscription. But I’m not interested in paying! 😡 ### 1/5 — Don’t bother. *2026-03-20, version 26.3.6* Limited to viewing only Twenty articles a week. Get yours news from other sources. ### 1/5 — Too many premium stories *2026-03-17, version 26.3.6* This app now has too many premium stories to make it worthwhile. I’ve deleted and will look for my news elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Gone downhill *2026-03-06, version 26.2.5* This used to be my go to app for daily news, but not anymore. Unless you’re willing to pay to read it’s no longer even worth having. Will be deleted. ### 1/5 — No longer free 😔 *2026-03-03, version 26.2.5* I was disappointed that the latest release has now placed reading restrictions on non premium content, so will now cost £6.99 per month. ### 1/5 — Restricted *2026-03-02, version 26.2.5* Since launch of premium you are restricted to reading just 20 articles a week unless you subscribe. Due to the low quality journalism i have deleted app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very good update *2026-07-16* The update to the new home feed is lovely, and the new Live Events button is amazing, how did I live without it! Even the premium tab looks great and it’s nice to have a way to access all the premium articles in one place, although I can already customise that in My News. Great app, great news coverage, and the subscription ain’t half bad either 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Great paper, first with the news *2025-10-12, version 9.5.7* Exceptionally good for the news. ### 5/5 — News Expresse *2025-06-14, version 9.5.4* Not found a better News site ### 5/5 — Mikael McKenzie *2025-04-25, version 9.5.0* He is my brother and he is the best on the app ### 5/5 — Thank you *2025-04-10, version 9.4.4* This fine publication is rightfully ensconced as an app in Apple and available for all who wish to be informed of actual happenings on the ground. ### 5/5 — Ridiculous *2025-02-21, version 9.4.1* Don’t bother, the express doesn’t allow free speech and doesn’t allow proper discussion or differing points of view. Just don’t waste your time. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2024-10-08, version 9.3.4* The latest app seem excellent. Clear layout, easy to read with ads easy to avoid. ### 5/5 — Very informative. *2024-04-29* Far superior in quality news stories and layout to its rival the Daily Mail which is now obsessed with only certain celebs and cannot be honest with the facts. If you want quality, the Express is a refreshing read. ### 5/5 — Quality News *2023-10-29, version 8.3.5* Excellent contents and good website ### 5/5 — A News App with Pizzazz! *2023-02-17* The best news app for us Anglophiles!! And the humour in the comments is superb. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
