Time to delete this app
Gloucestershire live has decided to start charging people to read the news. Another company for me to boycott, app deleted - revenue lost for this company and its dirty practices. Refuse to look at the ads, refuse to pay. Doesn’t bother me one bit. Good riddance
Paywall
It has now unfortunately been introduced by Reach that there are now limits on the amount of articles you can read, with payments now being almost obligatory.
This is pretty sad as though the reporting and format is substandard, Glos live was one of the few sources for local glos news. Sign of the times.

Share your data with the world
On first install I looked at the privacy and cookie consent settings and was amazed at the number of companies you will be sharing data with by pressing ‘accept all’ - literally hundreds of vendors! The data shared with most may only be non-personally identifiable but I felt it was grossly intrusive so deleted the app straight away.

App will not refresh daily
In settings I open Gloucestershire Live app and the toggle switch is in app refresh position but is slightly greyed out, so the only way I can daily refresh content is to go into the App Store and open it up from there, any ideas how to overcome this.
App function/speed improved
The functioning of the App has improved.
It is just a great pity that GL appears to not approve of debate as the majority of the articles that are even slightly controversial or contentious have their Comments turned off, particularly if criticism of local authorities could be reported. It’s all very “1984”ish.
