### 3/5 — Block button

*2025-09-17*

Put a freaking block button for blocking the ignorant trolls that just comment to bash players

### 4/5 — Slightly flawed app

*2025-01-20*

Great app for all the latest news and views but my LFC essential hasn’t updated for months which is a bit disappointing as it’s part of  the paid app. Would love to know why as have tried deleting and reloading app and nothing changes.

### 2/5 — Not working well

*2024-08-27*

App is okay. Bought it. As a long time listener of the blood red podcast. They were promoting it a while back. Very rarely update the news on it? Not sure if it’s because I am in Australia. But does not seem to be working well for me. And I paid for the premium version. Not sure what I am supposed to get for that. Still ads, even though the lads were selling it, as ad free. Started off that way. Though quickly become ads within articles and such. Seems like a bit a jib. Just go on to the echo web page. To get the same news for free.

### 3/5 — Good but terrible titles

*2022-09-07, version 8.1.2*

Some great content here, but please can you stop with the awful clickbait titles and actually have titles that reflect the story.

### 2/5 — Can’t comment

*2022-05-06, version 7.1.6*

Not for the first time not only can I not make any comments on any posts but now cannot even access the comments at all on any posts!!! Ridiculous!!!!

### 3/5 — Good when it is uptodate.

*2021-11-23*

It is a sound website with just two shortcomings. One, it is often slow to up date the content. I receive it in my email before it shows in the app. 
Two, some of the content stretches the thinnest of subject matter, mainly to fill the site I suspect. Plus some of the headlines are sensationalising content inappropriately. 

But I still refer to the app on at least a daily basis.

### 2/5 — Great Content Poor Presentation

*2021-08-03*

This may be harsh because it’s so frustrating. The content here is excellent. However, stories don’t load or more often their entirely obscured by the ads. Maybe offer an ad free tier with subscription? Otherwise, clean up the display do we can enjoy the excellent content.

### 4/5 — Only a 4 because of bug that needs fixing

*2021-02-05*

Normally a great app but in last few days my latest news feed has articles from months ago and will not refresh

### 2/5 — Click bait central!

*2021-01-17, version 6.6.0*

TOO often the headline leads to VERY disappointing content.
Treat your subscribers with a bit more respect

### 2/5 — great content but...

*2020-11-25*

Great content, but the actual app is buggy and annoying. Articles continually load blank and live content doesn’t refresh well. and then there is the reach cookie acceptance that means the whole article is greets out until you can finally find the acceptance box.

**Developer response:** Hi, we'd like to apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Could you please message us at mobile_app_feedback@reachplc.com with more details of when exactly this issue happens for you? Does it happen on all types of articles?

If possible screenshots or videos of the issue really help us to understand and fix the problem.

The Live Updates type of article is not completely native in the apps, that means that this section that's often present problems is not made of "app components" but instead is a simple web page (it's basically a website loading inside that window).

Because of that, we have very little (close to none) control of the updates page (the bit above is native and it's totally on us) what makes this not an issue with the app itself as we're just loading the page provided to us.

What happens normally is that some changes are done on the website (from where we get this page) that affects the page loading in the app, so if the page throws an error, for example, this refresh button will appear or the screen will go blank but the page would load fine on a browser for example.

What we do on these cases is contact the team responsible and pass over all the information we have about the issue, so if you could please report to us the articles that are presenting this issue whenever it happens we can report it to the right team and get it sorted asap.

Regards,

The ReachPLC App Team

### 1/5 — Rubbish app

*2020-09-20, version 6.4.1*

Poor quality - the journalists can barely write, the stories are badly-sourced and repetitive, and it’s almost impossible to create an account

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Worse than ever

*2026-07-29*

The app is horrible and they expect you to pay for the privilege. Other superior alternatives are available.

### 1/5 — Not worth using anymore

*2026-01-19*

Nothing but money grabbing premium subscription articles now. All of which are free to read on the browser but behind a paywall on the app.

### 1/5 — Stopped using after Latest update

*2025-09-16*

The latest update made the completely uninteresting.  All my settings disappeared and the news that I read daily is making almost unusable.🤮

### 1/5 — No longer works on iMac

*2024-08-27*

I appreciate that it says it is not guaranteed to work on iMac, but it is always dissapointing for a paying customer when something that did work no longer does because the developers managers don't seem to care about heir user base.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-02-25*

All of a sudden after seven years of use the website says unavailable in your region. Apparently Liverpool fans in the US don’t get to see this now even if they’ve paid for premium.

### 1/5 — To many ads. Makes it unusable

*2024-02-22*

I used to love this AP.  However the increase  in automated pop up ads and video ads has made this AP almost unusable.  Unfortunately it’s time to delete it and go elsewhere for my LFC news.

### 1/5 — App was always poor but now worse

*2023-08-28, version 9.0.4*

The app has never been great, always locking up, plagued with adverts that moved things around but I was happy to live with that for it to fund itself.

Now it is only useful if you pay, no thank you!!

### 1/5 — Some useful stories but……

*2021-08-30, version 7.0.4*

This app tends to publish lots of speculative stories and issues far too many notifications - not sure it is worth having.

### 1/5 — The worst app ever! Reload infinity

*2021-04-15*

Garbage! Trash it and hire someone who knows what they are doing to make an entirely new app

### 1/5 — Grey screen

*2020-10-05, version 6.4.3*

Once again grey screen can’t see any articles. This happens every few days sort it out please.

### 5/5 — Notifications

*2023-09-27*

Great app but why all of a sudden do I not get notifications any help would be appreciated have deleted the app and reinstalled but still no notifications. I have tried in settings to turn on notifications on the app but unfortunately I can’t see the app in my settings

### 5/5 — MR ANTHONY JONES.

### 5/5 — MR David O’connell

*2023-01-02, version 8.2.0*

just a brilliant page to keep up to date with things to do with Liverpool Football Club YNWA

### 5/5 — Useful app but takes up a lot of space

*2022-04-25, version 7.1.6*

I use this app frequently but I have one issue
The app takes 50.7 mb  - not a problem 

The data used is 1.32 gb (on my iPad)
Why might that be and how do I reduce this data?

On my iPhone the data is 682 mb and I am don’t have anything SAVED on either device
