Can’t see many people subscribing as it’s fairly weak journalism at best. Not worth £4.99 a month. Spend your pennies elsewhere! ### 1/5 — Heavy Censorship *2026-01-05* You can make the most benign comments on their comments page and if it does not fit in with their narrative you’re guaranteed it will be deleted. Get a grip Edinburgh Live - not everyone shares your world view. ### 1/5 — Too much click bait *2025-03-20, version 9.4.4* Far too much advertising under the guise of ‘stories’ ### 1/5 — Very limited *2025-01-21* The only sport in Edinburgh seems to be football - no rugby, curling, golf, bowls, tennis….strange. Might help if the had reporters in Edinburgh and not rehashing local facebook and twitter stories and they spell checked their stories and check days and dates before uploading - simple proofreading really that doesn’t seem to get done ### 1/5 — Very limited *2024-05-09* The only sport in Edinburgh seems to be football - no rugby, curling, golf, bowls, tennis….strange. Might help if the had reporters in Edinburgh and not rehashing local facebook and twitter stories ### 1/5 — Waste of space *2023-10-26* This app is a complete waste of time since the up grade can’t swipe up to read stories page cuts out and can’t save your own topics **Developer response:** Hi and thank you for your feedback. You can customise the app to show you content that you're interested in, simply head to the new My News tab, where you can create your own personalised news feed with topics that matter to you, and if you wish, view those topics on their own using the scrolling navigation at the top.

It’s not even for using bad language. Using words like idiot is enough to get you cancelled. Not impressed with Edinburgh live. ### 2/5 — Biased *2022-09-07* Seems to be biased in favour of the SNP. Quality of some new articles is poor and uninteresting. ### 2/5 — Feed back *2022-01-08* Never get a follow up on reports, I.e. people missing, never follow up report. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great News Source! *2022-08-01* I love EdinburghLive! As an American interested in the culture and lifestyle of the people of Scotland I have this publication to be most enlightening. I can’t wait to visit Edinburgh someday. Our lives are very similar yet worlds apart at the same time. I will continue to enjoy your news! ### 5/5 — Mr Rab Duncanson *2022-04-24, version 7.1.6* Living in Australia I love catching up with Edinburgh local news and had a smile on my face reading the article on mispronounced street names. ### 5/5 — Edinburgh Live *2021-01-30* Very informative app. I live outside Edinburgh but always check this app for the latest happenings ### 5/5 — Dark mode *2020-11-02* What a wonderful app. The dark mode comes in very handy and saves straining my eyes. Keep up the good work. ### 3/5 — Why the fox? *2023-02-11* The app is fine but could be improved by clearer dating of older news and lose the naff fox on splash screen who appears to be carrying a radiator! ### 3/5 — Ok *2022-03-18* Good app but the comment section is a cesspit --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
