### 1/5 — Lies lies lies

*2025-12-20, version 9.5.11*

Lies . Printing lies about football fans in Scotland . Deleted

### 2/5 — Could be useful if it cut down on clickbait sensationalism

*2025-02-19*

Could be a really useful app as there’s a real gap for a genuine, mature, local glasgow news app. Unfortunately the content seems to be predominantly sensationalist tabloid clickbait headlines rather than genuine insightful reporting. Shame.

### 1/5 — 😡

*2023-07-09*

Posting the picture of the bike young ryan had his accident is atrocious! My son was involved in a RTA last year while I was working away and the first thing i saw was his bike in your news whilst he was fighting for his life !!! Have some respect for families

### 1/5 — Pathetic little leftist rag

*2023-02-23*

Any comment that is even slightly off the woke agenda is deleted. What a bunch of losers 😅

### 5/5 — Better than the papers

*2022-09-14, version 8.1.2*

Fantastic updates really interesting news and topics 10/10 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 3/5 — Unbiased?

*2022-09-12, version 8.1.2*

Can say 100% the reporting is not unbiased 🤣

### 1/5 — Unable to decline all cookies

*2022-07-12*

App wants to track using a large amount of cookie

### 1/5 — Fake news

*2022-03-08*

There is no news covered here. The articles are poorly written and full of spelling mistakes but it is the admins that are the real issue. They ban any and all comments that are not 100% behind cyclists! It’s bizarre. Genuinely strange. People rant about individuals, lie about political parties etc but question a green policy or cycle lane and they are deleted.
It’s to a point that I noticed it and over time came to expect it and it’s actually become a little sinister given a good third of their articles are directly related to the Green Party and/or their policies on cycle lanes etc.
Other than that, this site is poorly run, with laughable grammar and spelling mistakes. It’s very clunky and really not worth looking at. I’m going to delete it and wish I had a while ago.

### 1/5 — Me

*2022-01-10, version 7.1.2*

It’s now 1.50am and you have a ongoing incident witch happened yesterday afternoon

### 5/5 — Glasgow live
