Paying for ‘news!

If you think I am going to pay£3.99 a month for at best sub standard amateurish repetitive tales then you are sadly delusional.
Stories change infrequently and you are obsessed with repeating old stories from years before.
Maybe try being a proper news outlet for once.
You must make enough money from the irritating adverts not to fleece the readers as well.

Bad Design

Constantly dropping out !!

Buggy

Still buggy, tendency to lose the ‘back’ button which means deleting and reinstalling.

Can’t sign into app

I’ve paid for a yearly subscription, yet I can’t sign into the app on either my iphone or my ipad. I’ve tried signing in using my email address and password, and I’ve tried the “magic link”, and neither of these things work. It just keeps telling me that my session has expired and to sign in again! Now I can’t view any of my stored topics or stories that I have saved.

Mr gaz

The civic centre

Rarely up to date

Stories often 2 days old as main story ?!? Thinking about deleting App unless improves

Beyond awful.

Want clickbait news about soaps? This is your place. Local news, look elsewhere. Awful. Truly awful.

Provides local news

Does what it’s supposed to do which is to give you news from your area, in which case the greater Southwest and not just Plymouth. Couple of stars knocked off due to them having estate agent ads disguised as articles and since last update there is now an ad that will show before the app opens.

Buggy

A bit buggy, tendency to lose functions randomly eg back button disappears and comments fail to send.

Why would you pay for subscription

Rubbish app and pointless news definitely will not be subscribing got to subscribe to everything these days and half of it is not worth the money

Ridiculous

Not a very good app anymore. A lot of the stories are either recycled from previous submissions or they are clickbait not even about Plymouth. The rest are ok though.
They have over the last 2-3 months updated it with a premium option which I don’t have a problem with…what I do have a problem with is the fact that if you don’t pay to use the app, you’re limited to only reading 15 stories within a weekly period which is 2 stories a day if you use it everyday. Not only that, but the latest update to the app now locks certain stories behind the paywall meaning if you want to look at some interesting sounding articles, you’ll probably have to pay now. Used to use the website but that became unreliable, and now this app has done the same.

Refuse to pay for the monthly/yearly subscription as I don’t think it is worth it when a lot of the stories don’t even look like that have been proof read, with a lot of grammatical and spelling errors that even a child could pick out.

Will be deleting this app now and I’ll get my news from somewhere else that still allows free news

Ridiculous

We are now being charged 2.99 a month to read this!
No thanks, deleted.
I can go on google for free and read better journalism.
Shocking

Subscribe

Since when did this become a subscription app. Only allowed 15 articles a week unless you subscribe!! Ridiculous.

Awful

So poor, navigation, no stars at all. Who decides theses changes, based upon what? Not to mention quality and relevance of the news. Trainee platform as I assess it. The poor reporting creates the responses.

Misleading

How many times on this app do we see a ‘live’ story of , say a vehicle crash or fire causing road closures etc, only to find the story is 24hrs old, but still there, labelled live’

Very misleading management of the content, if you haven’t got the staff to keep it updated, don’t bother.

Deleted

Will delete what ever they want, no point in wasting your time writing anything about your own opinion, it will get deleted, waste of space

Constant regurgitated stories

Initially liked this app but over the months it has becomes more and more obvious that stories as re-released just plain but on the front page again and again. Just gets annoying after awhile as non stories repeat.

Readings comments

Since your last update there appears to be a problem with replies being duplicated. I have reported this issue but nothing has been done about it . Surely you can see there is an issue

Poor presentation

Poor grammar and spelling. Article on a Care Home had many complaints. Seems common practice, would be ashamed to be on their staff.

Good News

Fantastic updates for 24 hours.
