### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2025-09-20, version 9.5.7*

It's so difficult to actually read an article on this app. The article is segmented in amongst a ridiculous number of ads. Avoid - get the news elsewhere!

### 3/5 — New update but still articles that are 2 years old or more

*2025-07-10*

Poor content and very old content. Lots not relevant to North Wales. Needs a shift away from English news and keep it wales.

### 1/5 — Out of date stories

*2025-01-21, version 9.4.1*

It might be worth on the next update to add a feature that deletes some of the stories that are several years out of date.

### 1/5 — Get it right … please!

*2024-07-12, version 9.3.1*

Yet again after an update it’s lost my preferred ‘channels’
Not only is there questionable journalism, a severe lack of geographical knowledge of where North Wales is but now, the app developers can’t code correctly.
Poor, poor and thrice poor

### 1/5 — My sections not refreshing

*2024-04-23, version 9.2.4*

Having to delete the app and reinstall to get local news very disappointed old version worked better

### 1/5 — Can’t add as widget anymore

*2024-03-21, version 9.2.3*

After the latest update, you just get a blank square in the news section where this used to be. Tried deleting and re-adding but no option to add it back.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2024-01-24, version 9.2.1*

The change  to f north wales news is rubbish

### 1/5 — Padlocks

*2023-12-27, version 8.3.5*

Why suddenly do some articles have padlocks on them and when you click on them the app closes!

### 1/5 — Why can’t you scroll between articles now

*2023-10-28, version 9.1.1*

Why is it with all trinity mirror apps you can no longer scroll between apps.
Can this be fixed for iPad and iphone

### 1/5 — New look, but still hopeless

*2023-10-12*

Brand new look which is very smart, but the content is still severely lacking. Why have a ‘click here to view content” button if you then get “this browser is not supported”?
Also, they have ‘live updates” on a breaking story which, if it does get updated doesn’t have a time stamp, so you have no idea if the incident is on going, or if you no longer need to avoid the area.
Today (Oct 2023) I found an article in the what’s on section describing the new Castle jail in the I’m a Celebrity camp. In Abergele. In 2021. Gosh! Such new news!
It has its uses, but don’t expect much. Caveat emptor.
