### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-06-19, version 1.11*

App keeps crashing out. Old app never did that. When you scroll past about page15 or so the app just closes. Please fix this!

### 1/5 — Can’t read

*2026-01-29, version 1.11*

Subscription through

### 5/5 — Great deal-this year

*2025-10-19*

I’m from the US with family in Co Derry, interested in Irish News. I subscribed during IN recent discount. Unless they have the same upon renewal next year, I’m out.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2024-09-30, version 1.9*

This app is Amazing as it provides excellent high quality, up to date news articles. Also I am a blind person and the app is very accessible. I would encourage visually impaired ppl to download this app to keep up to date with the latest news

### 1/5 — Poor value for money

*2024-07-26, version 1.6*

Too many stories are blocked + require a subscription representing poor value for money.

### 2/5 — Expensive

*2024-03-23, version 1.5*

Great paper but much too expensive, especially for someone who doesn’t  always have the time to read it all

### 5/5 — Website

*2024-02-07*

Terrible website keep getting no signed in

### 5/5 — Irish News

*2024-01-30, version 1.5*

Irish News online provides me with news of home and abroad while living in Wales

### 1/5 — Repeated Issues with Downloading

*2024-01-20, version 1.5*

No idea why, but I’ve had repeated issues with issues not appearing first thing in the morning. This never happened under the old app but now happens weekly. Today for example only edition available is the 19th, can’t access 20th Jan edition.

### 5/5 — Dreadful

*2023-12-27, version 1.5*

This new app causing great difficult across my devices.  Always asking to sign in in one of them

Not renewing subscription. I have requested a refund twice
