| 2024-09-17 |  | | Really good app for reading news around my area. Would recommend. |
| 2024-09-10 |  | | My experience when I have wanted to know about things has been local news. I have found out about things that I didn't know that happened, but I Also know of news that local news didn't cover. That is why I only gave it a 4 star rating. |
| 2024-07-16 |  | | Not the best as most items are from the P&J and you need to sign up to them to receive. Not ideal as local news should be available to everyone to open without pass words etc. |
| 2024-07-10 |  | | I really enjoy the reporting of all local news in our region, it's very informative |
| 2024-06-25 |  | | I've been looking for something like this for ages. Local news (configurable to include different areas) and nicely laid out. |
| 2024-02-13 |  | | It is nice to find a program that concentrates on local news rather than the national and international problems that seem to create the headlines. You are also able to find a lot of local items that are simply not important enough to make the headlines in here. |
| 2024-01-29 |  | | Only problem is that certain sources only allow a few views then want you to take out a subscription to read further news items. You are then unable to read the news. The area headings no longer appear. Why ?? |
| 2024-01-16 |  | | I like this app alot for following local news. It needs a dark mode to be perfect and maybe some visual updates. Update: they added dark mode. Perfect for capturing local news. |
| 2023-07-05 |  | | 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. |
| 2023-06-18 |  | | I know you need adverts to keep going, I'd rather do a search online than work with an app that has advert 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. |
