## Newest reviews (10 of 55)

### 2/5 — Not available

*2026-02-23, version 3.11*

Not always available last week couldn’t get the paper for 1 day this week still not working can only get the first page and the last page what’s going on

### 3/5 — On line

*2025-09-23, version 3.11*

The newspaper would be better if it appeared without hiccups and if it was possible to do the quizzes etc..  not everyone has the ability to go out to buy the paper.

### 4/5 — Not up to standard

*2025-09-22, version 3.11*

Racing pages not as good as other daily papers information used to be second to none. Not any more Sunday racing pages are very poor and badly laid out Saturday racing pages are better but still not as good others been very disappointing for the last 10 years must do better.

### 4/5 — Can’t renew subscription

*2024-10-17, version 3.10*

My renewal was refused and now I’m stuck on a page asking for my subscriber number. I can’t find one . What do I do ? Any help please.

### 1/5 — Puzzles

*2024-09-16, version 3.9*

Puzzles take far too long to access

### 3/5 — Crosswords

*2024-09-09, version 3.8*

Much appreciate the old method of completing the crosswords

### 1/5 — No edition, no explanation

*2024-08-29, version 3.7*

Yet again, a faulty download. This happens far too often. Today’s was just the front and back covers. Useless.

Update (Oc 2) no edition at all today, and no explanation. Not good enough. Update (April 10). Just when you think it can’t get worse. Today I got a download that consists of just the front and back pages. So I deleted the app, re-booted the iPad, re-downloaded the app, then what appeared was the Irish edition. Deleted all downloaded issues, repeated the whole process and got just the front and back pages again. What a complete mess this new app is. Back to the drawing board, MGN, and how about some compensation for your customers? What on earth has the Mirror done to it its app? The new version is a complete dog’s breakfast. Riddled with faults. For example, if you tap on an article to read it in plain text, you get booted back to the front page upon closing it. Photos missing or appearing over text, pages rendering badly, so you have to read a double page spread over separate pages…so many errors. For me the worst ‘improvement’ by far is to the previously excellent Quizword. They now want you to phone a premium line to pay for the answers. Not only that, the experience of filling in the puzzle is clunky and not user-friendly. I will give them a couple of weeks, to see if they listen to feedback and fix things. If not, that’ll be the end of my subscription. The whole point of an app is to make it easier to access the news, making it worth paying for. If the app is this glitchy, one might as well go back to reading the standard, free, version of the paper.

### 1/5 — 11 May 2023 and another mess - just getting fed up now see another update

*2024-08-29, version 3.7*

The one chance I have to sit and READ the news is early morning, hence buying the Mirror via the app. But yet again, all I get is the front and back pages, and not for the first time. Since the ‘big update’ of the app, what the user gets is rubbish. I’ve been a Mirror reader for about 65 years and since it came out as an app, using that but, I’m not going to continue unless there’s a real attempt at an upgrade. One other thing, the finish on the ‘upgrade’ is appalling with paragraphs cut off and text boxes still showing their outlines. Come on, make an effort!!! Why is it that, yet again, i open my paper only to find ITS A ONE PAGE PAPER AGAIN. That’s right, just the front page - nothing else. Waste of money!!!!
29 Aug ‘24 and another front and back page ONLY.  This problem is just going on and on, but I’m not. I am sick and tired of not being able to read my paper so I’m off.

### 1/5 — Absolutely Useless

*2024-05-03, version 3.7*

Why update and ruin what was a great app and layout? Do the developers or the daily mirror actually take a look at their own app if so how can they allow just a front page and back page and nothing else to be published, we pay a subscription to read a whole paper and now you can’t even do the CROSSWORDS OR PUZZLES, bring the old format back, I’ve tried to persevere with this format but not being able to do the crosswords is unforgivable.
can you tell me how I can get a refund before I actually cancel my subscription and go to another paper? Do not download this you have been warned I will review this if I get a response but I’m not holding my breath
DAILY MIRROR DO THE DECENT THING AND RESPOND?

### 1/5 — Not an improved app

*2024-05-02, version 3.7*

The updated app is not instinctive like it’s predecessor. It is slow to load and often pages are not downloaded and in one case a page was partly downloaded but in a foreign language. I will persevere for a little while longer to try to adapt to the new format. If I cannot then I will move to another paper. Having continued the app has got worse. Some days it is impossible to load anything. The old version of the app worked perfectly- this new version is a complete dog’s breakfast. I have had enough. Goodbye Daily Mirror.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Poor Service

*2026-07-30, version 3.11*

Frequently fails to download often at weekends when the office is closed. No response to emails when trying to ask for support.

### 1/5 — Rubbish, Don’t Subscribe!

*2026-07-30, version 3.11*

What a load of rubbish. No paper again. What’s going on? Mornings are when most people like to keep on top of the current news stories — not with The Mirror, you’d be lucky to get the front and/or back page. I’m not even going to give it a rating! OK, one star

### 1/5 — Faulty download again

*2026-07-30, version 3.11*

This is happening at least once a week now where the days paper does not download.  Starting to lose patience and ready to cancel subscription

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2026-07-30, version 3.11*

Again NO issue available, having to wait for some employee to turn up for work and reboot their server. It’s time a refund was provided when an issue is unavailable, some need to download it early then go to work.

### 1/5 — Two pages

*2026-02-23, version 3.11*

Two pages

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2025-06-26, version 3.10*

When will this app fully work, not worth the money. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

### 1/5 — New updated version is awful

*2025-04-14, version 3.10*

Just cancelled , I give up £7 a month for a glitchy paper only ever get front and back pages, they have done nothin to address this mess, over it. Laters

### 1/5 — Not able to renew.

*2024-10-20, version 3.10*

I have been purchasing this paper for years, and now it will allow me to renew my subscriptions! Please can I be told why??

### 1/5 — Subscription refused

*2024-10-19, version 3.10*

Monthly subscription did not renew even with plenty of funds in Apple account. Been subscribed for many years. Maybe they are trying to get rid of the people who are getting it cheaper having being long time subscribers.

### 1/5 — Subscription cancelled out of the blue

*2024-10-17, version 3.10*

Out of the blue this week after years my subscription cancelled even though bank card had another two years to run on it no way of renewing subscription using different bank card etc etc and cannot get in contact as if you tap contact email it doesn’t work 😡

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Price

*2025-09-30, version 3.11*

It’s overly expensive compared to other papers

### 5/5 — Mirror

*2025-09-23, version 3.11*

Sometimes it’s very difficult to download  but for the paper it’s self is very good

### 5/5 — Kicked out and unable to log back in !!

*2024-10-18, version 3.10*

I was locked out of the app but when I’m trying to get back in I’m being asked for my subscription number which I don’t know?
I have wrote to the help page twice and I have not received any response whatsoever. 
There’s nothing I can do about this as, without the subscription number, I’m stuck in limbo.

### 5/5 — My DM

*2024-09-25, version 3.10*

Love reading the daily mirror every day om my iPad … fabulous!

### 5/5 — Mr Emdsor

*2024-09-16, version 3.9*

Brilliant it keeps me going all day and the crosswords are my way of relaxing

### 5/5 — K Huntly

*2024-09-09, version 3.8*

I enjoy reading the Daily Mirror every morning. A great newspaper, it’s the only paper I read.

### 5/5 — E edition

*2024-09-09, version 3.8*

Good value for money, well laid out , excellent colouration

### 5/5 — Review

*2024-05-12, version 3.7*

Brest newspaper ever!!!  Definitely is! I’ve been reading the Daily Mirror since I was 17. I’m 83 now so it must be good!

### 5/5 — Puzzles

*2024-04-30, version 3.7*

Would like to be able to do the crosswords/puzzles on a Saturday

### 5/5 — On line format change

*2024-04-27, version 3.7*

Totally disappointed with new format. I find the app hard to navigate and the crosswords too small and barely legible. My enjoyment of the on line version has been ruined. Why the change? I wouldn’t have objected to a (slight) increase in prices! I’ve been reading the mirror since the year dot and would be loathe to cancel it. However the joy of logging on in the morning to read it with its ‘tell it how it is’ attitude has been overtaken by frustration. Please reconsider your changes. Or I’ll have to cancel my subscription and only buy an occasional copy when I get out. We’re not all ‘woke’ computer nerds. As no other dailies compare to the Mirror at least I will be in glorious ignorance of the state of the country!
UPDATE. After a few months I’m totally converted!  I can easily access in what order I read the paper and find the crosswords much more convenient to complete in their current format. Hold my hands up and admit I was initial wrong. Must be turning into an old grump.
