### 3/5 — To Lancashire telegraph

*2023-02-05*

Honestly, I love Blackburn rovers. I love to see news on here and it sometimes asks me to subscribe. Why not make it free and have adverts that you can make money from. Other than that this is a great app to get news from Blackburn rovers. Please do something.

### 1/5 — Get with the times

*2022-11-09*

For a paid app its pretty slow and low content 
Make it free and get paid for adverts is the way to go

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you have not been enjoying the app experience. We will review your comments and see if any improvements can be implemented.

### 1/5 — Telegraph App.   Bryan Nightingale

*2019-01-07*

Had the app up until this morning!! Tapped it to get the latest news, It just went to a red screen asking me to log in all my details again. Then came up with a blank key pad?? Have tried again numerous times but keeps telling me that I already have an account then the red screen again. So just given up now. I liked the app when it was working ok. But just not worth the hassle now.

### 1/5 — Awfully slow

*2016-04-21*

I don't see any point in using an app which takes longer to download the content (mandatory to read the latest news) than it would to open Safari, type in the URL and read via the web. Why does content have to be downloaded anyway, when all it would take to make a decent news app is thoughtful navigation and CSS?
Utter rubbish.
