User Reviews

Users appreciate the ITV News app's simple, ad-free interface and inclusion of local news and weather. However, frequent app crashes, lack of a dark mode, poor local news accuracy and outdated stories frustrate users. Many criticize repetitive news items, difficulty with cookie controls, and intrusive auto-playing videos that override other audio with no settings to stop this, making the app cumbersome and less enjoyable compared to competitors.

Pros

Clean and simple interface compared to other news apps.
Provides local news separate from national headlines.
No intrusive ads disguised as news.
Good to have local weather videos.
Compact format makes it easy to see top stories.

Cons

App frequently crashes and is unstable on various devices.
Lack of dark mode causes eye strain and discomfort.
Local news coverage is often inaccurate or outdated and doesn't update regularly.
Too many repeated news stories and outdated content not removed.
Auto-playing videos with loud sound and intrusive media player override users' music apps with no option to disable.

App so basic,No settings to customise, when setting local news you get news from all over the UK. It's an extremely poor offering and outdated,Never gets updated at weekends Back to first class BBC news app.
