Lots not relevant to North Wales. Needs a shift away from English news and keep it wales. ### 3/5 — Handy little app *2022-04-25* 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. ### 2/5 — Displays wonky on my iPhone SE2020 *2022-02-23, version 7.1.4* 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 ### 1/5 — Too many Comments get disabled *2022-01-26* 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. ### 2/5 — Comment section never works *2021-12-29* 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. ### 1/5 — Not up to standard *2021-12-12, version 7.1.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2021-12-09, version 7.1.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Crashes my phone *2021-04-02, version 6.6.3* Good content IF I can read it before it crashes my phone! ### 1/5 — Daily post *2020-09-17, version 6.4.1* This has to be the worst app known to man, u can’t leave feedback, and the news isn’t updated, even when u enter ur post code, I got more information in Brighton’s local paper The Argus about NorthWalesLive than I’ve ever done up here. ### 3/5 — What no search feature *2020-09-07, version 6.4.1* A very good new app, however no feature to search for old or new news items. Massive shame for such a great service. ### 3/5 — Need some decent reporters *2020-07-10, version 6.3.1* The idea and execution are very good, unfortunately the writers are not, repeating the headline 3 or 4 times in a 1 paragraph story is lazy and annoying ### 1/5 — Terrible bias news *2020-05-11, version 6.2.9* I buy your paper every day however I won’t be again!! Same kind of paper as the sun. There should be a campaign to distory this complete rag ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2020-05-06, version 6.2.9* Absolute rubbish app, full of irrelevant ads, ie dating sites.funeral plans, energy companies. Out of date news, same old stories repeated, totally useless ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 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. ### 1/5 — Trying to remove app *2022-06-24, version 8.0.1* Leaving today as the app is no better fails to load comments time and time again. I’ve tried but it’s beaten me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — NorthWalesLive *2022-04-28, version 7.1.6* It good but a bit slow ### 5/5 — News *2021-06-13* I love how fast they post current stuff. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Robin H V Pritchard. *2021-05-15, version 6.6.4* 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. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-03-17, version 6.6.0* Loved it. Great app. Thank you. ### 5/5 — As it happens! *2020-12-30* It’s great to be able to see and read the news locally as it happens. As we know weather can vary within short distances. Always first port of call for latest news. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Wisskid *2020-07-30, version 6.3.1* Top app excellent 10out10👍 ### 5/5 — North Wales Live *2020-06-24* I use it every day. I moved here 3 years ago but was spending more time in Manchester so for its giving me reports on my area and factual ### 5/5 — Police force north wales *2020-03-05* Doing a wonderful job. Please bring our towns of wales back too how they should be may the angels watch over you ### 5/5 — Keeping up to date. *2019-09-18* I am from Wrexham but have lived in Scotland for 30 years. It’s great to have the chance to keep up to date with what us happening in North Wales, particularly the Wrexham area. ### 5/5 — Great *2019-09-01, version 6.0.5* Good information up to date Thanks --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
