### 1/5 — 20 free articles to 7

*2026-05-06, version 26.4.8*

As it says, they have changed the amount of news you can read from 20 to 7 a week. I could read 7 in a day let alone a week.

### 1/5 — Problems with subscription

*2026-04-28*

I paid the annual fee so I could unlimited access but  after a little while it doesn’t recognise  my membership until I sign out. I can then sign in again to make comments but after a while same again. Very frustrating

### 1/5 — Disgraceful

*2026-03-09, version 26.2.5*

Can’t even read about the mighty boro anymore as I’ve apparently used my free 20 articles this week, funny it’s been saying that message for nearly a fortnight.
A joke, deleting 😡

### 2/5 — Poor

*2026-01-24*

Used to be a decent app for local news, unfortunately no more.  Too many ads at start up and breaking up articles.  Now you have to subscribe to view more than 20 articles a week - why bother?  App and account deleted.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-11-08, version 9.5.8*

Just like the actual paper, the app is rubbish. Keeps crashing, uninstall, reinstall, same happens. Apps/software needs regulating.

### 1/5 — iOS iPhone 2020se - Compatibility

*2025-09-16*

Dear Reach plc, since the latest update of the Teesside Live app I have faced annoying issues when attempting to leave comments on Middlesbrough FC forum news. After writing a few words the page frame disappears below the type line making it extremely difficult to complete the comment. Can you please advise what I need to do to keep the frame open and accessible whilst typing. Is this an Apple iOS issue?

### 1/5 — Woeful

*2025-07-11, version 9.5.5*

To many adverts, spelling mistakes and generally woeful app

### 2/5 — App Broken

*2025-06-06*

Since the last update stories keep automatically scrolling down to the adverts at the bottom of the page. Making it impossible to read to read the content

### 2/5 — Woke paper

*2025-05-27, version 9.5.1*

Lets you comment on but not on black very onesided

### 1/5 — Update please

*2025-03-25, version 9.4.4*

Afraid that the news does not change, no automatic update means that Teesside live seems to offer Teesside yesterday at present, is there a refresh button that I am missing?
