## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — The app doesn’t work

*2024-11-11*

Don’t bother. Enough said.

### 1/5 — Bring it Back

*2024-06-29*

It is ridiculous how, when you get a notification about an article. It should bring you to the news, not to the place that it features different articles. Also sometimes when you click on a notification, it freaking doesn't even go anywhere except the Vancouver is Awesome splash screen. Fix it now.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-05-29*

This app sucks. It simply does not work and has never worked in the several years have tried to use it since moving to Vancouver. Hard to believe they can’t get it functioning.

### 1/5 — The app in general V.I.A

*2024-04-22*

The app is frozen. Vancouver Is Awesome should be fixed. I won’t allow an app that’s frozen. I wanted local news and BC News. Not happy.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t load

*2024-04-12*

App notifies you of new articles but once you click on it, all you see is the “Vancouver is awesome” intro screen. Useless app so uninstalling it.

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2023-10-09*

App is broken for 3 weeks. In on the SE3 iPhone

### 2/5 — Takes Too Long To Load

*2024-02-19*

I have a few news apps on my iPhone and with the exception of Vancouver is Awesome they load almost instantly. The VIA app often takes minutes to load.  This needs to addressed.

### 3/5 — No landscape mode support

*2022-04-18*

Verging on useless — for me — as there’s no landscape support.

### 3/5 — Font size

*2020-07-10*

This app is so much better than the website! 
Please add a font size setting. Young developers don’t see the need but ask anyone over 50.

### 4/5 — Great app and content, just needs better iPad Support

*2022-02-20*

Being forced to use landscape is one annoyance of an iPad user, Please consider landscape as an option so us with the Magic Keyboards don’t have to tilt our heads <3.

### 5/5 — Love this app :)

*2020-07-24*

I’ve already been a fan of this website so I’m really happy they made an app that’s easy to use and accessible! I love how I can get all up-to-date news on Vancouver in one place. The only glitch I really noticed is that it tends to send the same notification twice, but you can also choose specifically what notifications you want which is great.
