Too many ads

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!

New update but still articles that are 2 years old or more

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

Out of date stories

It might be worth on the next update to add a feature that deletes some of the stories that are several years out of date.

Get it right … please!

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

My sections not refreshing

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

Can’t add as widget anymore

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.

Rubbish

The change to f north wales news is rubbish

Padlocks

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

Why can’t you scroll between articles now

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

New look, but still hopeless

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.

Trying to remove app

Leaving today as the app is no better fails to load comments time and time again. I’ve tried but it’s beaten me.

It good but a bit slow

Handy little app

A handy little app that keeps me updated with snippets of North Wales news. No in-depth coverage but has enough to keep me interested. Nicely presented and organised but seriously annoying when it cuts out on me, this happening all too often.

Displays wonky on my iPhone SE2020

Always enjoyed catching up on news in North Wales on previous versions of this app, but latest update doesn’t display properly- nothing sized right or centred on screen anymore - real mess - very sad

Too many Comments get disabled

I used to love this app, but for some reason now, any comments made in the comments section frequently get disabled even when no rules are broken. For this reason I have now deleted this app for good.

Comment section never works

I never seem to be able to access the comments sections on any of the news stories.
I would also like to point out that I have often found spelling and grammar mistakes in a lot of the articles.

Not up to standard

Articles have very poor grammar.
Sensationalising non news topics are commonplace.
Serious news topics sidelined for mediocre celebrity news.
Comments section is unfairly edited by admins.
Very anti welsh language.

Unreliable

The reports here do not write the truth and publish stories with little to no knowledge and only one side of the story. This messes peoples life’s up and causing them to suffer from mental health issues and often have suicidal thoughts. These reporters should be ashamed of themselves.

News

I love how fast they post current stuff. Thanks.

Local news for local people.But I do wish reporters would stop calling Police(cops)is it a reflection of their upbringing and have drifted into local reporting.?.I also dislike the adverts before a news item, and when it eventually arrived it’s often dreadful.However all in all a good job.But as my headmaster used to say,(many years ago)always room for improvement.Regards R Pritchard.
