Comments on Local News for Android

★★★★★ Kay Hardman · Oct 18, 2022

I really appreciate your efforts and I also appreciate your help, support and advice. Your kindness and education is very much appreciated by myself. I am more than certain that lots of other people enjoy reading the local news stories. It keeps them in track with what has been happening in the outside world. If it wasn't for your kindness and consideration, we would be concerned about how the outside world is being affected. I am very grateful for your support and kindness. Thank you once again

★★★★★ Allan Kinnersley · Nov 6, 2023

Best local news app and if you need news from another area easy to access. Comprehensive coverage.

★☆☆☆☆ Stuart Webb · Oct 6, 2022

Absolute rubbish. When you click on an article the cookies screen apears over the entire screen and won't allow you to click accept or decline. Unuseable.

★★☆☆☆ R Hayes · Jun 5, 2023

Interesting, but for my areas I'm interested in, many links lead to subscriber only stories, so just see headlines.

★☆☆☆☆ Bruce Hawkins · Jul 5, 2023

In my opinion, it is almost impossible to read anything without being asked to subscribe, at that point, what you were trying to read is blocked out. And adverts, adverts, and adverts. I see very little point of a 'news app' where you can't read the news.

★☆☆☆☆ Tezzy Murphy · Jun 18, 2023

I know you need adverts to keep going, I'd rather do a search online than work with an app that has adverted after advert. Taking up the whole screen. Your loss at the end of the day. Not a good app at all. Waste of space on my phone. Useless to be honest.
