User reviews

Far left propaganda

So unfairly bias. Country crying out for middle ground

Loosest use of word ‘news’

Had this app some years now and sadly it continues to slide from a source of news, to simply a platform for the contributors views and egos. Content is often shambolically presented with an overuse of gifs. Probably I’m now outside target audience, with focus now being on people who would rather be told what to think rather than think for themselves. Comments section can be very nasty.

Update: Aug 25. Deleted. Don’t mind ads so was happy to read without ‘signing in’. Now mandatory that even to read you have to sign in. Not going to happen . They state that“It could allow us to be more commercially viable to advertisers and make it easier for us to bring you a more tailored and useful experience…To be clear, we haven’t yet decided whether sign-ins will be mandatory in the future; we are using this phase to understand and analyse its impact.

Is this the beginning of a paywall?

We at The Journal believe access to quality information is a cornerstone of a democratic community. We are committed to being a source for this kind of vital information and it is why we encourage those who can afford it to consider contributing to our readers’ fund to keep access open for those who need it most…”

Not happening!

Video Ads make app Unusable

This used to be my primary news app. I’m not against advertising on news apps, however I find this forced video advertising to be extremely distracting. It also consumes a lot more data so I am no longer able to use the app if I’m not using WiFi

Gas

No reports on Ulster games or does the gaa only happen in 3 provinces?
Or is it just lazy journalism

Censorship

I was contributor for over 10 years, never rude or broke their rules. But they banned me and likely thousands of others from posting comments that didn’t align with their globalist values.
