New App update

Recommended Posts

Fair play, the new app is way way better than before. Even the forum is integrated in the app and not on a separate Web page lol

 

Well done folks 👏

I've got in on my Andriod phone, and also on my Windows PC. There are still a few issues though.

On the phone the chance to comment on stories seems to have disappeared.

On the PC I cannot access any news items - I keep getting directed to a page "about:blank#blocked Anyone else have this and got around it? 

Do we just have to be patient @SouthwellC?

It looks good, I like it.

I don't have the option to comment either.

I seem to have to log back in every hour or so too, so it doesn't appear to remember credentials. Anyone else had that?

Update on the update: everything now seems tickety boo on the Windows PC.

However, still no comments facility on the android and like Capt Canary I had to log in again to read a news item.

One suggestion. Rather than post news first onto twitter, can't something be done so that app subscribers get the information from those tweets or simultaneously? As a paid subscriber I feel I get the news second behind those still using that rancid app.

I like the new design.

Personally, I would hide those top & bottom menu items behind a tidy three line hamburger menu.

I’ve forgotten my password, when I click on to get a new one it keeps asking me for the old one  !

It’s let me log in to here fine, yet when I try to access stories says my user details are incorrect!

It really pees me off when so called upgrades make something worse when it was working fine previously 😡😡😡

The app looks great but is less intuitive to use (comment, stay logged in etc.) on an android device than its predecessor. Needs more work.

Even though you have to sign back in almost every time you open the app to read a new story, it does keep you signed in on the forum, which is now embedded in the app.

EDIT: Just had a new update, maybe it'll fix the need to sign in each time.

Is there a new app - I assume I’m still on the old one …? Does it matter ?

It's just an update to the current one.

I can’t get the shortcuts at the top of the home screen to work anymore. Have to tap multiple times eventually it works.

It’s getting beyond a joke ffs! A service that’s paid for but you can’t use! Come on moderators sort this out or give us a refund! @SouthwellC

A pretty poor show tbf. I have to log in every time I use it, and then have to log in again for the forum.

You do expect better for a paid service.

Absolutely awful, considering it’s a paid for app! Pink Un should be ashamed of it. 
 

I’ve tagged @SouthwellC and messaged him on X but no answer. 
 

If they can’t sort it then go back to the old style of I’m not paying anymore for something I can’t use properly 😡

Did you get the new update last night? That fixed the issue requiring you to sign in each time for me.

The latest version on Android is 10.0.21.

Hi @Baldyboy - I have replied on X, did so last night so hopefully you’ve seen that message. Sorry to hear you’re having issues. We are aware of some teething issues since moving the app over - our IT team is working on a solution. If this persists, email nq-digital.subs@newsquest.co.uk and they’ll ensure to get it sorted for you 👍

Yeah, sadly this latest update doesn’t have the option to comment. I know it’s something the guys behind the scenes are working to get ready ASAP.
