MARGINAL

Annoying,marginally functioning app!Jerky,gets stuck on a screen etc!

Terrible

This app used to be excellent, but the recent changes have ruined the ease of access to and display if information. The app is no longer useful…the “feedback” tab in settings doesn’t even work

DEC2025 update:
Recent “updates” to this app have only made things worse, if that was possible. Major difficulties loading stories is compounded by the constant ad pop-ups that bump news content…

Terrible

Went from a good app, to whatever this is now.

Just deleted the app - poor readability

Have used this app for a few years but the latest update made it very hard to easily read headlines to select the stories I wanted to read. The largest printed info is how long ago the news item was released - the headline is much smaller, and the photo of the story is too small to easily see what the story is about. Not sure if this is due to the size of font that I have set on my phone/the app but it worked far better before. I have deleted the app.

New update is horrible

Before the update you would not get repeats of the same article. Now the same article from 5 days ago is in 4 places on the main page

Terrible

Double loads. Gets lower and bogged down with time. Half the time you can’t share articles. It’s been like this for long time. I’m going delete it.

So many issues

I can’t believe so many people are having the same issue of pages double loading, not being able to go back to main page, app crashing and a few others but the app has not been fixed. Terrible app

Buggy

Articles double load or don't load at. Share button doesn't work

App doesn’t work!

This app used to work fine but for the last year or so it hasn’t worked. You can read one news article before it stops working and then you have to close the app completely and re-open it to read one more article, and then repeat the process over and over again. It’s easier to just delete this app and not use it at all

Garbage

This app sucks , full of bugs …try updating it once in a while ..gonna delete it permanently

Continuing problems

Still freezing, crashing, double-loading articles — when it loads at all. Get devs who know what they’re doing. I use globe app without problems.

iOS 15 issues

iOS 15 has been out for almost a year and they still can’t figure this app out. That’s just pathetic.

Don’t waste your time

Read the news on this app for years, but it’s become unusable. Glitchy, slow, constant crashes. The Vancouver Sun app actually works and delivers the same news. Developer should just remove this from the App Store.

Glitchy

Used to use this app all the time. Double loads the first story and then freezes. Been like this for months.

Bugs

Useless app, just download news 1130 which is far better and more up to date with news.

Unable to open or read articles

Unable to open after last update . Please fix !

Junk

How are we to follow health orders when the news feed keeps crashing. Help im so scared….FIX THIS GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!

App wont work

The app wont work. The articles wont load. Garbage.

Crashes now

Don’t know what happened but it crashes whenever I click on any story on my iPhone Xs.

I went to update the app thinking it needs to update but there’s nothing to update.

App keeps crashing

Every time I click on an article the app crashes. I used to love the app but had to delete it since it keeps crashing and nothing has changed.
