Bristol Live

This is easily a five star app. I had been trying to keep updated with local news and this app does that simple and promptly. I have missed so much local news before I got this app.

Please could you add the contents of this app to the Apple News app as well because, quite frankly, this app is about as stable as a giraffe on a trampoline. When it comes to actually using it it constantly & consistently crashes whilst its either updating &/or whilst its being used, thus making it almost impossible at times to actually read it contents. It either needs a major overhaul, to be scraped completely & started again &/or to have its contents also ported directly into the Apple news app under the topic “Bristol Live” so that its contents can at least be read within a more stable environment.

So where do I start?? They re-run story’s every few months as if people have forgotten about the previous 23 times they have said “these are the X restaurants with zero food ratings“. Their proof reading must be done by someone who is completely illiterate or just doesn’t care about their work. Their reporters and writers must be laughing, being paid to copy and paste from various other sources. My assumption was that as it’s called Bristol live it would run local story’s so why run story’s for Wales, Exeter, Birmingham or anywhere that’s got a story you haven’t. Most of the stuff that isn’t re-run isn’t really news at all, it’s filler at best. The app is rubbish, it requires you to sign in every time you want to comment. Do yourselves a favour and just don’t bother, even if you download it there’s no news that’s relevant to your area.

Main issue I have with this app is, when I select the notification of a news story it opens app at the homepage and then you have to search for the story!? Seems to be a bit pointless to me. Can also sometimes requires more signal to load stories as well.

This app is too add heavy making pages slow to load. They often cause problems where you will open a page, and all you will get is the title forcing you to out and back in to get the article. Push notifications are terrible and do t link to the actual article. This is very irritating
