### 1/5 — Time to delete this app

*2026-09-03, version 26.9.17*

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

### 1/5 — Paywall

*2026-08-18, version 26.8.15*

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.

### 1/5 — Share your data with the world

*2024-12-18, version 9.4.0*

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.

### 4/5 — App will not refresh daily

*2024-09-27, version 9.3.4*

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.

### 2/5 — App function/speed improved

*2024-06-13, version 9.2.6*

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.

### 3/5 — Not happy

*2024-05-13, version 9.2.5*

Why does one have to select “continue to Gloucester news” half way down page when one has already selected Gloucester news?

### 3/5 — Widget

*2024-03-13, version 9.2.3*

Hello. I really like the app. However The widget for Gloucestershire news appears to have stopped working. Has it been withdrawn?

### 2/5 — Version 9.2 crashes app when scrolling

*2023-12-16, version 9.2.0*

Since the update to version 9.2 this app crashes when scrolling within an article on iPad. This needs fixing as constantly having to relaunch the app to read the news is beyond frustrating.

### 2/5 — App improvements

*2023-10-22, version 9.1.0*

Whilst the app looks better. It still needs a tweak. Stories replicated across headings. No link to notifications just direction to home page. Then can’t normally find the story that notifications alerted me to. As far as the “live” in the title stories ect are 24 hours behind the times.

### 4/5 — v9.1.0 Improves App

*2023-10-18, version 9.1.0*

Much improved update. Just need the ability to swipe between topics in My News and to move / delete the seemingly fixed Saved Articles tab.
