News is not getting loaded. It was 2 days before. This problem was there before also. Problem repeating again and again

Was EXCELLENT at first, then came the ads, why does it randomly switch from the article to an ad? I uninstalled and reinstalled..Same, good for a few days and then BAM reading an article then the screen goes to a link for an ad. Sad, but I guess I will have to uninstall permanently...

D70%
by D####:

Worked well for ages, but for some reason it's stopped working. Page loads but I cannot see any text. Uninatalled and re installed still not working. Is it my S6 or is anyone else having the same problem SO NOW IT'S BEEN DISCONTINUED THANKS FOR THAT.

Y70%
by Y####:

Apart from the banner across the top there is just blank space on a nexus 7. Nothing else. - as of Dec 2016 it's fixed. Thank you

D70%
by D####:

Glad this exists, but it's fairly primitive by today's standards. Page keeps resetting as the adverts load, making fast scrolling of articles frustrating. Lacks the ability to share articles!

M70%
by M####:

Worked well for years (Swiss, French and German editions) if somewhat basic UI gave good local news coverage in English. Shame the app stopped loading the news a few weeks ago. Back working, so an extra star. Update Jan 2017, not working again, app starts but won't load news articles.

D70%
by D####:

The app was fixed recently and it was great to have the Local back again but now same thing has happened. Blank screen and no content.

Q70%
by Q####:

Good app with a single purpose that it fills perfectly. In addition the developer opted out of having a long list of unnecessary privileges, for which I have to thank him. We need more devs like that.

Q70%
by Q####:

Except for the bad UI,it's a decent app. I liked, "thelocalnews-Europe" more than this. It had a better Ui and also gets news from multiple feeds.

Makes keeping up with events in Germany so easy.

Q70%

iOS app is a more eye pleasing template. Otherwise it's a concise app with great content.

W70%
by W####:

It doesn't feels like an app, it's like loading the webpage in a different view.

O70%
by O####:

Does the job. Great little app for a great site.

L70%
by L####:

Would've liked the app if I was able to select a different country in settings. Only allows first country in list to be selected. Selecting something different results in the app crashing. Something is broken in country settings. Uninstall.
