This never used to happen. And now I have to delete the app and reinstall it to make the app normal again. I have had this app for many years with no problem. Why now? ### 1/5 — Deleting *2023-10-17, version 9.1.0* After using this god-awful app for such a long time, the final nail in the coffin was when I tried to read an article and a paywall appeared. ### 2/5 — Slow zzzzz *2023-05-10, version 8.3.5* Great content, but slow, usually just give up trying to read stuff. Such a shame. ### 1/5 — Always Crashing *2022-08-15, version 8.1.0* An App in Hull is useless. Hull Live is: Always Crashing Terrible Reporting Illiterate Reporters ### 3/5 — App *2022-02-18, version 7.1.5* App works ok - If only the update could improve the journalism. ### 1/5 — Typical Hull Daily Mail *2021-12-13* Very poor coverage of local news other than court appearances and births marriages and deaths. Stories are more likely to appear in other newspapers or on TV news before they appear in the HDM. The image created by this newspaper is of a city where nothing much happens and most of the features are about hopeless victims of crime or other misfortune and a lot of the articles are written in ridiculous “journalese”. ### 1/5 — iPhone *2021-12-12, version 7.1.2* Unable to read comments just says oops try again but nothing happens ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2021-12-06, version 7.1.2* I try every day to get the local sports news then I give up get your act together regards m green ### 1/5 — Tiresome. *2021-11-26, version 7.1.2* No option to opt out of all vendor/targeting cookies. Each has to be toggled manually which takes forever. ### 1/5 — Not a good app *2021-11-12, version 7.1.1* App is crap will not let me sign in ### 3/5 — Repetitive *2021-11-03, version 7.1.1* Repetitive inaccurate reporting in every article. ### 2/5 — Broken *2021-10-25* Haven’t been able to leave comments for a while now try and log in even though I am already showing as signed in and get a blank white page with three tabs at the top. Unable to go any further ### 1/5 — Alan m *2021-07-06, version 4.2.5* Rubbish app will not show news ### 1/5 — Do Not Download *2021-01-17, version 6.6.0* App is maybe ok itself but this rag paper is just useless I have no words absolute covid propaganda tool nowadays. ### 1/5 — Blocking *2020-12-25, version 6.6.0* Well it’s ok but your not allowed to comment I’ve been blocked Adeje 1 ### 1/5 — Rubbish as it keeps downloading every couple of seconds *2020-12-22, version 6.6.0* Fed up with the constant shutting down and then reloading. Rubbish and anoying ### 2/5 — Not entirely true *2020-11-25, version 6.5.3* Trusted, unbiased journalism? Not a chance! Only half of the story is ever told, it is as left wing as you can possibly get, it rarely allows comments on sensitive subjects on it's website i.e. anything to do with immigration or refugees committing crime - and the grammar is shocking at times. Only worthy of 2/5. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2020-11-06, version 6.5.1* Every comment you write gets deleted for ridiculous reasons ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rubbish app *2026-02-09, version 26.1.2* One of the worst apps on the internet. Poor reporting by extremely average reporters. Don’t start a story and not finish by say we will keep this story updated and………. Very poor. They are now expecting you to pay for this rubbish. ### 1/5 — Use to be great *2026-01-28, version 26.1.2* Ok, but now you have to pay to read more than 20 ads a month it’s just not worth it, so removed the app. ### 1/5 — Subscriptions *2026-01-21, version 9.5.14* They have made it so that you have to pay to view more articles if you read more than 20. Whilst the app is like this, I wouldn’t not recommend anyone downloads it. ### 1/5 — Not updating *2026-01-09, version 9.5.11* Hasn’t updated the news for 2 days ### 1/5 — No Longer Works *2025-11-09, version 9.5.8* Latest update forces the user to sign in to receive “my news”, even if not wanted. The Home screen is no longer accessible. And “my news” does not work anyway. The App is now useless and unusable. ### 1/5 — Rubbish app *2025-05-27, version 9.5.1* One of the worst apps on the internet. Poor reporting by extremely average reporters. Don’t start a story and not finish by say we will keep this story updated and………. Very poor. ### 1/5 — News Reports depressing *2024-12-22* This news media can only relate to crime and overall depressing news for the City of Hull. Can I suggest that you report on the positive work that volunteers help various charities to create a positive outlook for all In the City. The news is depressing. We are not interested in court cases and pictures of low life people. As an organisation you should be praising the positive news of this city. If in fact there are such positive news. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2024-03-01, version 9.2.2* Too many stories now require a subscription, stories completely covered by adverts and unable to comment on stories. Read it free via PressReader if you’re a member of a local library ### 1/5 — Sports News *2023-11-18, version 9.1.1* I really don’t want news of any sport, how can I opt out? ### 1/5 — You are trying to stop people using it *2023-10-24* I was unhappy when you stopped allowing us to make comments on the articles as I enjoy the opinions of other people. But now when you are making some articles only available to subscribers and only letting us read a few each week makes me think you don’t want us to use your app. What next? Bin the app because less people use it? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Why are stories not removed *2026-04-02* Many articles or well over a week old and are not removed. How do you do this to freshen up the content ### 5/5 — Mrs green *2021-03-01, version 6.6.1* I cannot reply to any of the stories it just won’t let me ### 5/5 — Keeps me in touch *2020-03-17, version 6.2.7* With Corona keeping isolated away from home, the app keeps me in touch. ### 5/5 — Help *2019-02-13, version 4.2.4* The app will not open since the new update plz plz plz sort this problem out ASAP ### 5/5 — Mrs O’neill *2019-02-08, version 4.2.3* I’m on holiday and I’ve been flowing the missing student Libby hoping for her safe return. So I’ve been logging on the HDM app . And it’s been brilliant. ### 5/5 — Hull daily mail *2019-01-17, version 4.2.3* I find the hull daily mail app very good and I find all the news all I want in one place ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2018-12-19, version 4.1.9* Fantastic app keeps you updated with everything going on in Hull 👍 ### 5/5 — Easy to use. *2018-09-20, version 4.1.4* App is fine and easy to use 😊 ### 5/5 — Hull Nail App *2018-08-13, version 4.1.0* The app keeps you up to date at all times, with local news and sport. ### 5/5 — Good *2018-07-24* News as it happens. No adverts. So easy to use. Much easier than trying to read the daily mail. Would highly recommend --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
