User Reviews

The Liverpool Echo app is praised for its readable interface and strong, real-time Liverpool FC coverage, with broad Reds/Blues reporting that helps fans abroad stay connected. However, the user experience is repeatedly undermined by intrusive ads, including pop-ups and redirects to the App Store, which disrupt reading. Additional issues include frequent crashes and media problems (videos/links not loading), making the app feel unstable for some users despite solid content.
Pros
  • Easy-to-read, intuitive interface that makes articles quick to access.
  • Real-time updates on Liverpool FC news and local headlines.
  • Extensive Reds and Blues coverage with solid journalism.
  • Helpful for expats and distant fans to stay connected with Liverpool and LFC.
  • Fast loading and responsive app experience for browsing content.
Cons
  • Intrusive, persistent ads that disrupt reading and cover content.
  • Ads frequently redirect to the App Store, forcing users out of the app.
  • Frequent crashes and instability, causing articles to close or jump unexpectedly.
  • Video playback and embedded links often fail to load or work.

Lately this app has had a HUGE increase in the number of ads popping up and filling the screen. A lot of them are difficult to close. This makes it almost impossible to read an article. Many times I’ve had to abandon my attempts and close the app. Today I find they want me to pay a subscription to read more than 10 articles. That’s not happening. I’m not going to pay to read news stories I can read free elsewhere. I have deleted my account at the Liverpool Echo and I will be removing the app from my phone. Note to developers - money grabs are a sure way to lose people. Corporate greed may work for a while but eventually will be the cause of your downfall.

Baseline source for LFC info. Easy interface for an older guy. Have to have.

I live in the US and keep my finger on the pulse of Merseyside by reading the Echo app. It saddens me to read the headlines about all the serious crimes, stabbing etc. The abandonment of Liverpool by the Thatcher government and subsequent administrations has left the city to a slow death which you have majestically resisted.
