# Glasgow Live — user reviews > 30 indexed App Store user reviews of Glasgow Live by Trinity Mirror Digital Media Limited, rated 4.80/5 from 36 ratings. - Source: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/glasgow-live/id1248430873/reviews - App overview in markdown: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/glasgow-live/id1248430873.md - Rating breakdown: 5★ 30 · 4★ 4 · 3★ 2 · 2★ 0 · 1★ 0 ## Newest reviews (10 of 30) ### 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. ### 3/5 — Unbiased? *2022-09-12, version 8.1.2* Can say 100% the reporting is not unbiased 🤣 ### 4/5 — Much better than website, lacks daily briefing *2021-07-10* A great, simple, unobtrusive way of reading the news. Much better than the messy website, with all its distracting pop-ups and ads. It just lacks one thing, a morning notification to summarise all the day’s news (like the Guardian does). I currently get the daily briefing email (which arrived both morning and evening, even though the articles are usually the same) and the links take me to the horrible website. I would love the option to get a daily notification from the app (preferably around 8am) which opens up a news briefing where you can tap to read any of the key articles inside the app. Give us that and you’ll get 5 stars! ### 1/5 — Glasgow live *2020-04-21, version 6.2.8* News great , but app to jerkey crap ### 2/5 — Not very good *2019-08-27* Doesn’t keep up to date and even shows older stories when you try to refresh it. Supposed to have been improved but no sign of it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-07-30* This is a great wee app love using it for info around Glasgow. Cheers ### 5/5 — Poor *2018-12-30* LIVE it’s 30 December and nothing is updated for days. Time to delete all Mirror group apps Thanks ### 5/5 — Much better than that hideous website! *2018-06-19* This is a vast improvement on their poorly designed site, with the intrusive ads and jumping articles. Good design and layout, and you can choose your own topics to follow. Nice one! ### 5/5 — Great way to stay up to speed! *2018-01-21* Love this app, I came off Facebook recently and I discovered the only thing I missed was Glasgow Live...then I discovered the app... my life is complete again! Love it, keep up the great work Glasgow Live. ### 4/5 — Glasgow Live *2017-10-12* Keeps me up to date with what’s happening in our City. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lies lies lies *2025-12-20, version 9.5.11* Lies . Printing lies about football fans in Scotland . Deleted ### 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 **Developer response:** Hi there and thank you for reaching out. We are incredibly sorry to hear your news and we really hope there was a positive outcome.

On the next page select the 'Editorial Feedback' option. Our very best, The Reach PLC Apps Team. ### 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 😅 ### 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 ### 1/5 — Poor app and even poorer journalism. *2021-06-19* This app is poor and limited, littered with poor grammar and opinion masquerading as journalism. ### 1/5 — Old news on repeat. Why? *2021-05-28* I thought it would be good to catch up on what’s happening in Glasgow with this App. Unfortunately apart from the odd 1 or 2 current stories the rest are dated. Some as much as a year ago. Start to read then realise you’ve read it before. I’m sure there must be lots of things happening NOW! Does anyone really want to read same old stories every day. I’ve decided it’s not worth having on my phone. ### 1/5 — Encourage pandemic *2021-05-15* Encourages large groups of people to spread the corona virus via their football team. ### 1/5 — What a load of crap *2020-05-28* Wow what a crap app this is was looking to read an item but each new page I had to go to was just the headline again loads of adds and the next button after 8 pages still nothing why bother if there is a story put it there I dont wNt to page through 8 pages or more to get to it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Better than the papers *2022-09-14, version 8.1.2* Fantastic updates really interesting news and topics 10/10 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Glasgow live *2021-07-27* I love ❤️ the ap especially me being a lady from Glasgow and it keeps me up-to-date ### 5/5 — Glasgow live app *2021-05-11* A brilliant app to have all Glasgow local news a it happens I live in Coatbridge but still love it ### 5/5 — JohnPatrickJNR *2021-04-13* Absolutely great app keeps me up to date with absolutely everything going on in my city, can’t believe I have been without this for so long 👌👍 ### 5/5 — Up to date news ! *2020-11-03, version 6.5.1* Keeps me informed and up to date with Glasgow news ### 5/5 — Glasgow live *2020-05-22* Love Glasgow live keeps you updated with all local news and more ### 5/5 — Great read *2020-05-17* My wife and I ,both OAPs really enjoy our wee read every day .
