Getting Binned

Well that’s it, binning this app off. Apparently only allowed to view so many articles per week, then have to pay a subscription. No thanks

Not worth downloading

Has been free to read for years. Now being charged a subscription if you want to read full stories, including death announcements, how low can you go. Not worth downloading

Rubbish content rubbish app

Most of the articles aren’t newsworthy or current but regardless of that, even if there is an article that I actually want to read it is very difficult- keeps jumping to the end of the article. I usually just give it up as a bad job

Frustrating

Full of adverts and the site constantly reloads making it difficult to read an article. It must one of the worst news apps out there.

Pathetic Rubbish

Terrible journalism, bad writing, full of typos. Often full of rubbish about strictly come dancing, stuff that has no relevance to Yorkshire. And now they have the audacity to put up a paywall.

Frustrated

Disappointing the fact I have to subscribe to read stories and events. No news is good news

Garbage

I’m sure the owners of Yorkshire Live are trying on purpose to get rid of the app, make it it as garbage as possible so no one uses it.

Can’t believe what they did to this app!

I cannot believe that the most recent update to this app has gone down the same route as the BBC News app did in their recent update!
Did no one at MGN bother to research what happened to that app and the terrible feedback and massive number of deletes after the BBC news app updated?
You’ve made the same errors as they did, and no doubt you’ll get the same response from users - delete!
This is now similarly unusable, so delete it will be.
Just saying…

Not worth paying for

Used this app for a while now and have got used to the poor reporting, use of stock “Google “ photos and the obsession with some little known Yorkshire tv stars but now expecting people to pay for this rubbish is ridiculous. Bye Yorkshire Live

Crap update

I use this JUST to follow HTAFC. Previously it was annoying but usable, now it’s just rubbish.
Can’t filter the content, so just won’t use it.
Congratulations, you’ve lost a user.

Getting worse since the update

The app crashes all the time and shuts down.
“Breaking news” is often hours old
“Top story” can be found half way down the page
Stories don't get refreshed - I get emails with new stories but yet they are not on the app, I have to go to the website to read them.
Keeps logging me out
Ads on stories will cover half the text and move with it so you can not read the story
Alongside the fact that certain stories will have commenting switched off or anything that goes against the view of the paper will be deleted

Unreadable comments

What’s the point of people posting comments if you cannot read them. It’s just comes up with Oops try again. Not very useful.

News

I
Have installed Yorkshire live on my phone so now I can keep upto date on news in my area which is good to know what happening round and about in Yorkshire all the reporters make it interesting to read about local news and events that are happening around Yorkshire no matter where in Yorkshire you live

Doesn’t Work

I downloaded the app because I have trouble viewing articles on my browser but unfortunately it won’t show news stories at all. It just says that Something Went Wrong and to refresh, but that has no effect at all.

Very poor news app

I suspect the reporters are largely young kids doing “media studies” at our ever expanding Kirklees College and the grown up reporter has a fixation for certain pub landlords. As a newsfeed this rag is rubbish and not worthy of even one google star.

News.

Why has York been taken off the App. Yorkshire should include North and North East. Not just South and West Yorkshire

Exiled from Yorkshire!

I was dragged over to Lancashire by my parents when I was a youngster. I still miss God’s Own County so enjoy keeping in touch, but the News from my home area always seems to be so depressing nowadays; so different from when I lived there.

Not coming up with news

I only ever see old news on my app and it says oops something has gone wrong every single time I try and read comments. Given up with it now.

Cannot login with AppleID

Can’t login in with apple social button at all. Come on sort it out, can’t even save articles or comments atm

News

Stories come to an abrupt end, and don’t update them to let us know the outcome. Saturdays are a let down and continue week after week on the same theme which by looking at the comments on these stories people are tired of this. Journalists take their content from other media papers or Facebook, seldom do journalists go out to interview at the scene. e.g. the story of the couple living in their car in Redcar sea front appeared day after day on YL no journalists went to interview them or asked questions where the male drove to every day, then after a week the story ended. The murder trial of Star Hobson, was printed for one day as what was said in court, then nothing. YL used to have a dedicated court reporter covering Leeds and Bradford crown court. Now I have to read live details as it happens on Telegraph and Argus website. A few years ago YL was worth reading, but now no newsworthy stories as you can see for yourself, why is this happening?
