## Leicestershire Live Reviews in United Kingdom

### *---- "Really!"
This review is about the recent update Sept 2024. Not sure what bugs you fixed. Before this when I went to view comments the page kept moving opening about 5 times, now it doesn’t stop. Basically it feels like my phone is swiping through the pages when it’s not. I can’t read the comments at all. If you are going to update, things should actually improve!!!
-- Doobie39, 2024-09-15

### **--- "Update/clean up"
Why is the Tigers section rarely updated. E.g. not even a mention yet of the new hard coach!
Also, can you clean out old stories I.e. those over 2 weeks old. Some date back to Christmas!!
-- andromicles, 2024-07-17

### *---- "Trash….. and now they want you to pay!!!!"
It used to be ok for free but now you now only get to read 20 stories before you have to pay. If the journalist were competent I’d probably consider it but most are completely illiterate, they just copy and paste complete lies from other websites. I used to read the football column but it’s full of planted trolls who just cause arguments and as soon as anyone react you instantly get your comments removed (the planted trolls never get removed though 🤨).
-- Crossx77, 2024-01-05

### *---- "New Leicester page"
The new Leicester page is awful old news days or weeks old no discovery pages to go on to other areas thinking about deleting it.
-- Not the only complainer, 2023-12-12

### *---- "Leicester Tigers"
I recognise that this paper is owned by a multinational organisation and is in part no longer local….
Whilst there’s articles about local issues, health, politics and awards, the sports page could be improved and in particular the Leicester Tigers page….
The Tigers have been a major part of Englands success over many years. The Tigers as a club side are I would suggest possibly been the most successful English club side.
In the recent World Cup, Leicester provided 12 players across 5 countries, with the winning points in the final coming from Pollard…
Yet look at the Leicester Tigers page….
Coffee shop, located at tigers admittedly…
Bake off contestant
Business awards
Strictly come dancing 
Freight hub
All in some way tenuously linked to the Tigers, but no game reports, no player interviews, seems no reporters, no L Live vision or effort….very weak….
If only the Tigers got half the coverage the foxes get….!
-- Wish I had been Cusworth, 2023-11-17

### *---- "Mr smith"
Sport so bad stop reading the mercury
-- Blackfoot 8, 2023-10-28

### *---- "App doesn’t work after update"
Disappointing
-- Rj opinion, 2023-04-30

### ***-- "Biased reporting"
When the suspect is white, the skin colour is mentioned, when it is not mentioned the suspect is usually BAME!
-- djh1697, 2022-12-10

### *---- "Crashing"
Was all ok but now app keeps configuring and crashes on opening!
-- Stoneyman16, 2022-11-29

### *---- "This one is a big release"
That’s what the latest update starts with. What a pity it now doesn’t work on iPad. When I open the app, it notifies me it’s configuring the app then the first page flashes open for a fraction of a second before the app crashes. I’d sack your developers for lack of testing prior to release. A week since notifying the developers of this app not working, it is still not working on iPad 7th gen using iOS 16 Well IPadOS 16.1 came and the app actually opened. But quickly shut down on at least two links so no better. I know that you rely on advertising, but the extent you include needs to be such that the basics work or the app is useless. This is essentially a news app after all. Keep this up and I’ll go back to buying a paper copy as it’s a joke at the moment.

This app goes from worse to laughable. If you try to open any comments on an article all you get is “oops something went wrong”. The management of this app need to get to grips with its computer coders as they don’t seem able to do simple things.  Perhaps the problem is that instead of being an app that delivers “News” to its users, it has become an app that forces unwanted advertising to such an extent that the people trying to stitch all the different advertising feeds together can’t cope with too many sources using different coding techniques.  Go back to basics and deliver the news well and add advertising back in when you have a better way to deal with it causing such errors.  If you don’t you’re in danger of losing all your users to other apps with better developers.
-- INGLESRA, 2022-10-30

### *---- "Will not open"
Since the last update the app will not open, do they not test these updates?
-- cr**********, 2022-10-29

### *---- "Comment section"
Comment been on the “opps try again screen”

For a very long time.
-- ray635, 2022-10-20

### ***** "Leicester"
Always up to date with news
-- nosydosy, 2022-05-31

### **--- "Still not fixed"
For so long now we haven’t been able to view any comments on this app due to a fault. They just released an update to fix the issue but guess what it has not worked.
-- MTBon55, 2022-05-13

### ***-- "Still not working Feb 2022"
Latest update won’t let you read comments. Login doesn’t work, forgot password doesn’t send email. Developer? Want to reply feel free…
-- Balders3692, 2022-02-03

### *---- "Lack of Leicestershire Cricket coverage"
Can you improve this 2022?
-- Mr Maypole, 2021-12-19

### **--- "Average"
Some content is good and useful for local events but most stories (particularly football related) based on click bait and rehashed from other sources. Most annoying though is trying to open an article it can freeze to a blank screen. Need to force close and reopen but same article keeps freezing. It’s ok, just not as good as some reviews will lead you to expect.
-- hotrod20000, 2021-11-12

### **--- "Glitshes"
Always freezes on a sports story. Then you have to leave the app. Sort this then 5 stars!!
-- Lestafan, 2021-09-09

### **--- "Processor heavy"
By that I mean that it drains my phone battery and causes the phone to heat up to an uncomfortable level. No other app on my phone does that. I can watch live television, a film, listen to streaming music, whilst reading e-mails. Nothing gets the phone as hot as this app. It is even worse after the latest update (26/02/2020). I don’t know if the constant deluge of adverts, which keep repositioning content on the screen is the cause, but the app does not seem to reserve containers for content on the screen. It just resizes as the content comes in. That is most probably the way the back end is written. Apart from that, it is handy having local news and local traffic notifications come in. Comment update 03/11/2020 I’ve just removed a star. After several updates it is still sucking the life out of my battery. Even when in the background. The main reason I’ve dropped a star, is because now, when I tap on comments, it’s pot luck if I can see comments or just a blank screen. In fact just now I went to comment on a news item, I’d typed in around 40 words and the screen just disappeared. It went blank. White in fact. It makes no difference if it’s set to normal or dark mode, within the app. Instead of improving the app they’ve made it worse. Please,’please, please get some professional and competent software writers on to this.

Update: 11/08/2021. I have had a new iPhone for a while and I have to admit that the app worked a lot better on this phone. It was obviously not designed to work properly on older phones. 

However, since to last update 05/08/2021, there is a niggling fault that some pages, when I start to scroll towards the bottom, the whole app freezes, just before the next section of articles come fully into view. The only solution is to shut down the app and then restart it. It will keep freezing on that page until the page changes. Other topic pages may or may not be affected, so it appears that it is the content conflicting with the app. 

As such I will leave my rating at 2 stars.
-- Vladimir Tépès, 2021-08-11

### *---- "Old news"
Far to much old news some of its been up for SIX MONTHS, after reading what I think is the latest news I find it’s three or four weeks old . The only credit I’d give it it’s easily the worst free paper !!
Trying to post a comment is also very difficult because so many words are blocked .......
