I often end up deleting the email instead. It is a nightmare and needs fixing. ### 2/5 — Meh *2025-07-11, version 11.6* Lots to f grammatical errors. It seems every article is AI-generated and published without editing. There are several duplicate articles every day. When I first started usingvtjis app, I clicked both to see if one might be an update of a previous article, but found them to be identical. The level of writing is around third form. Some of the ads are offensive. Recently, you are running ads about Obama and Clinton children. I find that disgusting. Draw the line at politicians' children, regardless of age. They did not choose to be children of politicians, and must not be used in ads or gossip columns. That's bad form and should be beneath the dignity of a major British news organization. Decide to be better than a trashy gossip rag. ### 3/5 — Flippin eck! *2025-04-17, version 11.5* I wish the News Briefing Newsletter didn’t flip stories right every time I attempt to scroll. ### 3/5 — Evening Standard - Broken *2023-09-21, version 9.3.7* Apples latest update iPadOS 17.0.1 breaks the Evening a Standard App. The App crashes on opening. ### 1/5 — iOS 17 Crash *2023-09-21, version 9.3.7* Doesn’t work with iOS 17.

It seems every article is AI-generated and published without editing. There are several duplicate articles every day. When I first started using this app, I clicked articles with identical photos to see if one might be an update of a previous article, but found them both to be identical. The level of writing is around third form. Some of the ads are offensive. Recently, you were running ads about Obama and Clinton's children. I find that disgusting. Draw the line at politicians' children, regardless of age. They did not choose to be children of politicians, and must not be used in ads or gossip columns. That's bad form and should be beneath the dignity of a major British news organization. Decide to be better than a trashy gossip rag. ### 1/5 — App *2025-08-21, version 11.6* Awful ### 1/5 — Text too small for puzzles *2024-11-12, version 11.1* The text for the puzzles is so small with the latest update that it is practically illegible. ### 1/5 — Evening Standard Advertising Special *2024-09-23, version 9.7.1* This Paper/Online App is short on content and drowning in advertising material. No longer fit for purpose. Who wants to be drowned in page after page of advertisements? ### 1/5 — Sign-in No thanks *2023-10-05, version 9.7.1* Sign-in for what! Rubbish. Deleted! ### 1/5 — Failed update *2023-09-26* I used to happily use this app on a regular basis. Then it broke when ios17 came out which I accept can happen but it took a while to fix. Now it opens but insists on registering without any explanation as to why they now want your email address where they didn’t need it before. This is a big fail in the user experience for me and I’m not going to provide my email without them at least explaining why they now NEED this. I’ll check back in a week or so to see if they’ve dropped this requirement (from which we could infer all sorts of sneaky intent), and if not the app will be deleted. ### 1/5 — Not an account is required *2023-09-25, version 9.7* Not bothering with that. App deleted ### 1/5 — why log in? *2023-09-24, version 9.7* why do i have to log in? and why can’t i set this up in the app? this is so bad… as soon as you send someone away from the app, why come back? ### 1/5 — Deleted *2023-09-24, version 9.7* You now have to login to use this app. There’s no way I’m doing that so I’ve deleted it. ### 1/5 — Fail *2023-09-23, version 9.7* Not working , app keeps crashing since iOS update :-( Update : iOS app update now makes app operational however now requires a ‘sign-in’ ( create account) prior to accessing any content . Maybe they should now explain why this is the case? , and to what gain unless they’re heading towards a subscription model ??? App content now unaccessible until you create account. Great …. NOT :-/ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — John *2025-11-14, version 11.6* Essential read 4 people living in London excellent paper ### 5/5 — Good news reporting *2025-10-27* ..and still going strong.

I find it very balanced & up to date ### 5/5 — Flips stories when I scroll down *2025-04-03, version 11.5* I wish the News Briefing Newsletter didn’t flip stories so easily when I scroll down to read the one I am interested in reading. ### 5/5 — Love the Evening Standard *2023-06-07* I live in Norfolk now, but before we moved here I'd lived in greater London all my life, so it's great to read the Evening Standard to know what's going on in London and across the country. Also it's one of the few newspaper apps that's accessible with VoiceOver, so thanks for that. ### 5/5 — Good read *2023-04-04, version 9.3.7* Keeps me well informed ### 5/5 — The Four Seasons White Lotus *2022-11-16, version 9.3.7* Wonderful article brought it alive - both the setting and the TV show - an experience just reading it ### 5/5 — Standard *2022-05-26, version 9.3.7* I’m Scottish.. live in Glasgow.. but consider the standard the best newspaper in the uk… --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
