Review summary

Users appreciate the Liverpool Echo app for keeping them connected to local news, especially those living away from Liverpool. Some find navigation intuitive and comment features improved recently. However, most feedback highlights significant issues: frequent app glitches causing erratic scrolling and article switching, a non-functional comments section, and blocked privacy settings. Content is criticized for being repetitive, inaccurate, and clickbait-heavy. Missing features like search and aggressive monetization via ads and subscriptions further reduce user satisfaction.

Cons

App frequently glitches, including jumping between articles and constant scrolling issues after reading an article.
Comments section rarely loads, showing a constant red spinning wheel, making it unusable for many users.
Privacy settings screen cannot be scrolled, blocking access and use of the app.
Many users report repetitive, incomplete, or inaccurate news content and clickbait headlines.
Lack of key features like search functionality and an over-reliance on ads and subscriptions frustrate users.
