There has been big improvement in the app over the updates and it is now pretty good to use and up to date with the news and other stories.One thing I do hate at present is the highlighted links within a story. Im using an iPhone and whilst scrolling through the story, my finger would inadvertently touch one of the link and it would open a different page. I have to keep going back to my original story. The links appear to be very sensitive with the slightest of touch.

I would like to know how many people write essays in a comment but countless times I press to add my comment of 2 or 3 lines & it only shows the first 4 or 5 words! I try to post a comment & it will pop up with the limit has been reached.... but when I look at the app later on 100 or so more people have commented since on the article. I try to up or down vote comments & I get ooops you cant do that. What is going on? I never write anything that would be worthy of censorship but I would like my voice to be heard when I feel passionately about something. I read comments from others that are extremely bigoted, misogynistic, racist, homophobic, rude & attacking to other commenters & these are not censored so why cant I post my views or give my support or not to other comments? Feedback would be appreciated please?

App has improved a lot over time thanks to bug fixes.Why do you insist on putting news of contestants being eliminated from competitions when its literally just been on tv? Not everyone can watch them live and seeing the name of the first person eliminated in the headline is so frustrating. Please stop it - just put the name of the show and that it contains spoilers!! Then people can click on it if they want and not have their viewing ruined. Here goes another 10 weeks of not being able to use the app until Ive watched the episode Ive recorded thanks to your breaking news which is obviously written by someone whos sat and watched the show as it aired. Please sort it out!
Developer Response Hi there and thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear our editorial team has been spoiling your favourite show. In the app there is a feedback section in My Account, you can leave feedback just for the editorial team and raise your issues directly with them. We hope this helps going forward.

September Currently the app is crashing the minute I open it, or shortly when just starting to a read a story. Its been like this for a couple of weeks, it usually happens when an app update needs doing but there isnt one. Im completely unable to use the app. Another issue I had prior to this was with the comments, there were times when reading them the button to return back to the story would simply vanish, resulting in me having to fully come out of the app and have to scroll through to find the story again. Mirror, please sort this app out, its uselessUpdate November STILL crashing! I even went through all the trouble of emailing the developers with a screen recording showing the issue, as Id seen a reply further down on someone elses review recommending this. No reply from them and no reply from the people on here, which I find really rude. Been left with no choice but to permanently delete this app, and use an alternative newspaper.
