Uninstalled this trash. ### 2/5 — Comments don’t work *2023-10-24, version 9.1.0* Although the app is marginally better than the appalling website, the comments don’t work on it. Although, given how right wing some of the comments are that’s probably not a bad thing ### 3/5 — Good but too many advertising *2023-09-08* The app and articles are good but the advertising is exaggerated, while I’m reading a story, the page keeps moving because of advertising . I can’t even read properly because of that . It’s really annoying. This is why I’m not reading anymore as before. I can understand advertising but this is extreme. ### 4/5 — Like me! *2022-12-07* Like me! ### 3/5 — Why do the videos crash the app *2022-08-29* I like this app, the news stories are good quality and updated regularly. However, every time I click on a video my iphone jusf goes black and nothing works. ### 4/5 — Crashes *2022-07-15, version 8.0.2* Keeps crashing since last update. ### 1/5 — Update not working *2021-10-18, version 7.0.7* Update not working on legacy IOS IPhone 5s. Where or how do you download the supposedly compatible version? Please fix this ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Behind paywall *2026-06-29, version 26.6.10* Used to be decent, it’s now behind a paywall! Better free options out there. Deleted. ### 1/5 — SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED *2026-03-14, version 26.3.6* App is now deleted. Used to be so good but now you get one paragraph before having to pay to read more. Such a shame but no point having it anymore! ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-01-17, version 9.5.11* Nonsense stories not covering the majority of london, mostly just croydon and now have story limits and expect you to pay for these poor filler pieces. Just gonna delete it ### 1/5 — Poorly developed app *2025-04-09* The app is poorly developed, some articles with research questions cannot be fully displayed, you can’t scroll down or up, the app quite often skip parts of the articles and jump down. The overall user interface is very annoying and doesn’t make you want to stay to read the articles because each page of the article is literally temperamental. ### 1/5 — Pity *2024-01-29, version 9.2.2* Now it cost only a few pages free so it’s back to the MailOnline sorry Bye ### 1/5 — Don’t bother, subscription required *2024-01-15* This used to be the best news app, my family and I have used it for years. However the new “15 articles per week” limit has ruined it. I reckon many readers will be lost because of this, because who wants to be paying £20 a year to read something I can read for free on another news app? ### 1/5 — Deleting soon, asking for subscription *2023-12-14* What is with the new update? I can no longer read news and will have to pay into a subscription to see full article? If their articles were professional and not written by primary school level authors; I may have considered. Spelling mistakes, biased news for certain emergency services just to have a catchy heading. I am actually tired of seeing biased news. They always get their date of news wrong. The same news will be all over another platform, a day later Mylondon will report it as it happened just now. It is always with limited or repeated information to make the news article look longer and full in detail. However in reality, the whole page could be fitted into a small paragraph without repeating it all over again. Each news finish with “contacted …… for more information”. But never seem to hear back from whomever they contact because there will be no updates on the actual news. This last subscription option is my sign to delete the app. Goodbye MyLondon, I would be surprised if anyone actually pays into this. ### 1/5 — SUBSCRIPTION *2023-12-13, version 9.2.0* Annoyed that you now get a paragraph or two of an article and now we must subscribe???? Outrageous! Larger named news broadcaster do not do this to my knowledge and local news like this has the temerity to charge us for us to read about the latest crime or upcoming festival in our borough???? RUDE! ### 1/5 — What a load off rubbish *2023-03-28, version 8.3.1* Just a re hash from other news stories, so often it shows no comments and there are actually loads, I’m guessing that the app is funded by the Mayor of London as it only shows TFL and the mayor in a positive light. Time this propaganda app. ### 1/5 — Nothing is truly free *2021-12-22, version 7.1.2* Just saw the amount of tracking and data grabbing this app wants me to consent to. Uninstalling! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — +1:52PM+ *2026-01-29, version 26.1.2* +1:52PM+ ### 5/5 — +1:52AM+ *2026-01-29, version 26.1.2* +1:52AM+ ### 5/5 — London *2023-09-22, version 8.3.5* Fantastic ### 5/5 — Review *2023-05-13, version 8.3.5* Very good aways quick with all news A very good read on a daily basis ### 5/5 — Interesting App *2023-04-04* This app is very useful and gives good and accurate information of the latest breaking news stories and any disruption on the public transport system, which happens several times each day. ### 5/5 — Best news for londoners *2022-05-30, version 8.0.1* Great app, always informed on what’s going on in and around london - highly recommended app ### 5/5 — Très bonne application *2022-04-14* I love this app, it’s very simple and very interesting. I think to be improve would be less crime report and more journalism of new things business, ideas , innovations. Something that will elevate the information and not just overwhelmingly tragic. It looks like london is crime on crime. More « positive » news (developments toward the city) would be great. ### 5/5 — Mr said *2022-02-04, version 7.1.4* Great application news keep working hard thanks ### 5/5 — Contents traditional *2022-02-02* The app is pretty good. The contents is news and not pushing too many agendas use this more than sky. Just leave of all tick toc news trawling ### 5/5 — News *2022-01-31* There is too much small print and to finish the article is real pain. Too many pictures in one page. Too much gore on peoples news --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
