### 1/5 — Don’t bother downloading

*2026-07-06, version 4.134*

The worlds most useless app. Nothing works.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-03-28, version 4.115*

Awful to use doesn’t show whole page, for credits so impossible to claim for errors, amending very slow and tiresome.

### 1/5 — Typical Smiths News

*2025-12-02, version 4.114*

Updated the app, it logged me out and now won’t sign back in. It’s like you take pleasure in making our lives harder. Sort it out.

### 1/5 — App update

*2025-12-02, version 4.114*

Have spent most of the day trying to login and no matter what i do after filling in mu ID and password the login button does nothing. Realised the updated the app yesterday and now it does nothing work. Rubbish app

### 1/5 — After latest update, app does not work

*2025-12-02, version 4.114*

I can’t even get beyond the login screen to access the app. Nothing happens when pressing login. Have tried to re register , still nothing.

### 1/5 — Update failure

*2025-12-01, version 4.113*

Logging on today 1/12/25. I am asked to download the new urgent update. The download button does not work. I looked on the App Store and fin I’m on the latest update.  Open app again, again asked to download urgent update. 
Report to Snapp at 11.30  at 17.00 all still the same!

### 1/5 — COME ON SMITHS!! SORT THIS OUT!!

*2025-03-27, version 4.110*

It’s time Smith’s got this APP sorted once and for all. It’s always been glitchy and hard to navigate but now I can’t even open the APP to use it. Back to calling India I suppose!
Doesn’t even deserve 1* It’s a pity Smith’s have the monopoly in this business as I’m sure most customers would go elsewhere had they a choice! Is this why Smith’s can’t be bothered to update their APP? Like it or lump it! Where else are you going to go folks?

### 1/5 — Developed by amateurs

*2025-02-18, version 4.106*

The title says it all. I have been using the app for many years now and it would seem that having been coupled together by some amateur developers or even beginner students, Smith’s News have not seen the need to significantly update the app.

Navigating from one page to the previous page is so cumbersome that it beggars belief that such a multimillion pound company could get it so wrong. You would mostly be sent back to the Home Page.

Submitting your preference to opt for paperless weekly summary invoice is as dead as a dodo. Trying to get to the tech dept is another war on its own.

From the look of things, the only reason Smiths News put the contraption they call an app together is to increase their shareholders’ dividends and nothing to don with making life easy for their customers. We are all just their cash cows, simple.

### 1/5 — Impossible back sing in

*2024-02-14, version 2.87*

I forget my pin try reset it wont let me sing in make me mad😡😡

### 1/5 — Developers need to go back to the basics

*2023-12-17*

It’s one of the most irritating apps one can come across in the field of newspaper distribution.

In most cases one can not make claim for missing credits via the app. You are either allowed to claim for zero credit or no credit at all. It didn’t use to be like this. 

The app is also agonisingly slow to load up pages.
