The app

Now all out for subscription! Used to be the best but not now xx

What bright spark has changed the comments to a light grey box and white text?

Very difficult to read

Used to be good

This used to be a good app for scrolling through for random articles, some completely irrelevant but the odd one that wasn’t to useless. But now all they want is for you to pay for the decent articles and you can only view 15 free articles a week. Deleted and I’ll be better off for it!!

Needs a design refresh

Fresh install, Home Screen shows only Want More header, My News is empty. Only after logging in and selecting topics do I get to see articles. This is bad and most users will just uninstall at that point.

Home Screen still empty except for the 3 live events accessible via the top right button.

UI needs a big refresh, this look feels dated. Fonts feel basic. Spacing are inconsistent and kinda bad. App needs a redesign and a simple design system.

No obvious fancy AI features, overviews, screen readers. No easy reading mode. Bleh.

Let’s give the old 🌮 app some love huh!

Charging to use the app

This app is now a joke taking the piss trying to make people pay for the use of the app no reason other than making money when you used to be able to read all of the news for nothing, so that is why I’ve deleted the app

Money Money Money

That’s what’s killing the world and you’re just joining in!!!

15 story limit

Adding a 15 story limit to the app is ridiculous, it is already littered with ads. I will not pay to read more. Uninstalled.

Gutted!!!

I’ve used the Mirror app for years now and love settling down to see what’s going on in the world BUT after years of using and enjoying your app for free I’m afraid I’m not up for paying a monthly subscription. The 15 free articles A WEEK is a joke, I get through that in a day!!! Absolutely gutted but I’ll be deleting the app now. I thought The Mirror was for ‘the people’ is you’re just trying to screw us over too 🤨

App now deleted

Apparently I can now only read 15 articles a month. Why? I still have to view all the intrusive ads. No thanks. I have deleted the app.

Bye bye

Having just been alerted to the fact that I have reached my weekly limit of “free” access to articles, it is time to consign this app to the bin.
Do you want people to engage in current affairs, or have you simply morphed into a draconian money making, low rent, devoid of moral fortitude group?
Wow, you really do value Nigel Farage now.

APP DELETED

The app has gradually been getting worse with adverts and now, you can only click on 15 articles a week and then you have to pay for more.
APP DELETED

What a shame

I’ve always used the Mirror News app. It would be my first choice of news source but I’ve deleted it today because now I can only read 15 articles and then I’m expected to pay or go elsewhere so it’s time to find a new News app.

Wouldn’t bother anymore

Since update introducing premium there are too many articles you have to pay for, also just got a message that I’ve reached my limit of 15 free articles for the week, this is also after multiple ads all over the App. Deleted now, would recommend getting bbc news instead or anything which isn’t trying to rob you

Not happy

Loved this this app with my morning coffee now you want to charge to read the news, app deleted

Limited view of articles per week

This app was not the best to start with. What with all the ads trying to read articles without the misfortune of swiping an ad midway though to be then taken to the ads page. The new limit of articles to read each week has made my decision easier to delete this app & find a better free unrestricted news source.

Rubbish😡

Since update this app is not as good and many features such as colleens page is no longer available should go bac or I think many will delete and move to a better app

No thanks not paying

Use to love reading the news in the morning but now can’t as your charging for access to this. I’ve deleted your app. I’m not paying for news articles

Manchester local news

I am a Premium subscriber to the Mirror, I have been able to access my Manchester local news feed for years, but now cannot load it, what is the problem with this and can it be sorted, I reside in Manchester and it’s nice to see what’s happening in my local area, please fix this.

Absolutely Ruined

This app constantly takes you back to the beginning after finishing an article you’ve just read, so that you then have to scroll all the way back to where you were in the list. Very irritating. I find I now just close the app after a short while and move onto the Sun or Star

Terrible news

Do not get this app
Very poor journalism
