## The Local Reviews in Sweden

### ****- "Stop pushing the upgrades!"
I know about mem+ but can’t justify it now. Every time I try to access a link from one of the email updates I have to log in (every time) and at each stage have to say no to mem+. Once should be enough
-- Marks in the Sand, 2024-09-21

### **--- "Issues with activating membership"
I decided to give this app a go since I was using the local for some years in my desktop.

I have contacted support for my issue but my experience with the app was troublesome. Long story short, I got a membership, the app sees I have a membership but members only content is not available to me prompting me to buy a membership.

Not sure what the issue is but I had a bad first impression.
-- Princetoreador, 2024-07-22

### *---- "wrong membership charging"
Hi,

The contact page on your website is expired, so l posted it here.

On the website, I was charged 10 kr and 59 kr at my first two attemps at the membership registration, but however, neither of them allowed me succesfully login the website with my account. Then I paid another 99kr for a membership, it still didn't work. can you help me refund the membership fee?
-- Tian1989apple, 2024-05-12

### ***** "Love the notification alerts"
Great app, essential for English speakers living abroad!
-- James90182, 2023-12-06

### **--- "Night mode"
Please add night mode to the app… Also I think the app would benefit of a way to sort the articles chronologically.
-- Leoslav, 2023-10-27

### ****- "Wonderful upgrade to the app"
Love the way your app has developed, obviously everything is now on fingertips need not go to browser every time, this was something I was waiting for long time. 

Additionally the new sections you have provided are amazing so we can filter out and read which information or news we need. Another good addition to the app could be adding a bookmark feature so we can easily go back or review the information again.

Thanks once again lovely team of The Local ❤️
-- AB8519, 2023-07-28

### ***** "Great content, now a great app too!"
The app was finally updated and now it works as it should. Notifications send you to the right place, you can scroll through the list of articles, and on top of that it looks really nice! :)
-- lucasgee, 2023-07-14

### **--- "Terrible app and site"
Extremely buggy app... And it has NO search button... Also, some writers and podcast hosts obviously don't have an objective tone in The Local Sweden. They simply have a political agenda. It can be subtle at times but also repetitively suggestive in other cases. They seem to take advantage of situations by stirring up the pot and instigating more drama. I would definitely not be renewing in Sweden... Surprisingly, The Local Spain is quite informative, more neutral and is less focused on complaints by foreigners who always have something to be dissatisfied about.
-- smst123, 2022-11-16

### ***** "UI issue"
Update: given 5 stars back since the UI issue doesn't seem to be a problem anymore.

It's be en months that other users are complaining about the ui issue that prevents us clicking Sweden section since it's blocked by the Member sign out button. Please fix this! I've paid for a year now and can't read all of the news in the app.
-- arthurspa, 2022-05-11

### ***** "Neutral and reliable"
I like The Local. For being quite a small newspaper, they update the site often with unbiased and neutral news and guides for foreigners who would otherwise maybe not have access to information that actually is quite important, as some government information is seldom translated into other languages.
-- hansibraun, 2022-04-24

### *---- "Serious UI bug still open"
The member sign out banner is overlapping with the country section, so it’s not possible to see more news. This bug was reported bu other users during the last two months, it should be solved by now
-- lucarmisk, 2022-04-13

### **--- "UI issues after updating"
The Sweden section is covered by "Member Sign out" banner and as it overlaps i can't click on the country section to read all the news. I am not renewing my subscription until that is fixed.
-- taher435, 2022-02-13

### ***** "App has a serious UI bug"
You can’t even click to see more news from the country you are in. The UI for member sign-in and sign-out is blocking the button behind it.
-- Rafaelcg84, 2022-02-12

### *---- "Error"
Most recently, everytime I open the App, I get sn error ”The content is not loading, check internet connection”.
-- Sjomah, 2019-09-29

### **--- "Uninstalling this"
Every other article redirects to a membership page.
-- reviewerx10934, 2019-09-01

### ***-- "Nyheter eller politisk app?"
Blev glad att det fanns en app med Svenska nyheter på Engelska! Fast, upptäckte att man skriver även personliga uppfattningar och åsikter, som gör att nyhets appen kanske har en politisk agenda? Känns inte bra!
-- Medlem i kyrkan, 2017-02-28

### *---- "Horrible app!"
User interface is ok, but the app automatically selects France on startup, and going back to the list of countries is erratic.
-- cvillalta76, 2016-12-19

### ***** "Jättebra app!"
Funkar perfekt
-- Raz.., 2016-02-05
