STV News app unusable

Shame this app does not work and has not worked for weeks: “Failed to load section. Failed to load section (HTTP 103).”

No longer working - is there a timeframe to fix it?

It’s long stopped working on iPhone (fine on iPad, and I’d give it a good rating for that). Are there any plans to fix it, or should I just delete it?

Unusable

Doesn’t work. Pity!

Stopped working

App no longer works. Stories will not load. Deleting and reinstalling seems to work for a time before the issue returns.

Problem

I have never had problems with this app
But in the last week the load more button is there but that is all
There is no news there

Delete and download again

Everyday I have to delete and download again as it fails to deliver new news ,

Outdated

This is still ongoing

The photos cannot be zoomed in or rotated to see the content. On a phone this is unacceptable. Even worse for people with failing eyesight. The majority of news apps have this facility why not this one?

Small font still after update.

Could you please look into adding dynamic type sizing back when reading news stories for people that use and need larger font sizes.

It was removed a while back not sure why as everyone could choose the font size that they like best.

Now dynamic font only works on main page on app.

App doesn’t open on iPad

As title says the new app won’t open on iPad. Works on iPhone.

iPad is older model but other aids still work fine and shouldn’t have issues due to this

New update won’t open

Been upgraded to new dark blue app but just doesn’t open, ipad is compatible.

Not iPad friendly as only works in portrait mode!

Not iPad friendly as it only works on portrait mode. Someone said same thing over a year ago and still the same plus adverts all the time! Update! New update on app and doesn’t work at all now on iPad!

Doesn’t work

When a push notification is received, I click on it and it opens the and and says “Unable to connect to STV News”

Has been doing this for months, don’t have any VPN or manual internet settings. No clue how to fix it, the internet browser works no problem

Small font still after update.

Is there any chance you can add dynamic type setting back to the STV News app.

Small font after update.

Don’t know why you have removed the option for larger font sizes after updating app.

Now dynamic type support has been removed and users can’t change the font size when reading any news or sports.

Really poor that you have removed a basic accessibility feature for people that use larger font sizes.

Please look to add this option back and everyone can choose the size of font the like best.

No back button

When clicking on a news item, there’s no way to return to the overview page, means you have to press the region again or crash the app. Annoying

Small font after last update

The dynamic type option to make font bigger has been removed in latest update. Now the font is very small with no option to change size when you read any news or sports story.

Why remove a basic accessibility feature for people that use and need larger font sizes. 👎🏻

Doesn’t work anymore

Crashes on opening

Not available?

Is it just me or is anyone else finding that the STV app just won’t work any more? Has something changed that I’m maybe unaware of? Thanks for any advice!

Keeps crashing

Since the most recent update, the app will not open and crashes. Phone goes back to home screen.
