What are users saying about TheJournal.ie News

'error posting comment'. Modern day censorship of opinion through technology.

N70%
by N####:

Still keeps scrolling to the top automatically. Ye said ye fixed it but ye actually just didn't bother.

N70%
by N####:

Comments will not post off my phone. Using Android.

N70%
by N####:

When scrolling down through the apps news it will unexpectedly go back to the top of the page so you have to start again and scroll down. Really annoying! Please fix!

R70%
by R####:

It used to be my go to Irish news app, but then they scrapped red thumbs - without red thumbs, the comment section is a cesspit which offers no insight into popular opinion. I went from using their app/site 5 times daily to maybe twice weekly.

N70%
by N####:

Great app as it had all the news and quick updates

P70%
by P####:

The main page keeps refreshing itself when I've scrolled down. Very annoying having to constantly scroll down all the time. Same happens to my wife's version.

S70%
by S####:

Nonsensical polls. Stupid sports quizzes. Bring back red thumbs. Since this change was made I have no real interest in this app. I am hoping they change, if not, I will be uninstalling.

N70%
by N####:

Latest update has ruined the comments section, which was the only good thing about this app. The quality of "journalism" remains pathetic, and articles which are not copy/pasted from other sources are amateurish and riddled with basic spelling and grammatical errors.

O70%
by O####:

Used to love it and found collation of news useful, but comments section has become a sewer of among the worst dregs of Irish social and political commentary. Bigotry and ignorance welcome

N70%
by N####:

Red thumbs are gone and they've messed about with the commen9ts that show... 1 star until they're back

I70%
by I####:

Comments, though im not obliged to read them, put this app to shame. But the articles and layout are great!

H70%
by H####:

The Comments section is a forum for the dregs of Irish society. A magnet for the ignorant and intolerant. Awful stuff.

N70%
by N####:

App woke me up to tell me Hugh Hefner died.

N70%
by N####:

Completely ruined the comments section. No red thumbs. Poor journalism. Shocking spelling . Copy and pasted articles. Pathetic.

N70%
by N####:

Good app but widget doesn't update automatically.

N70%
by N####:

Anybody there!!!??? 18/07 ..Why when I post a comment and verify my mobile number it states it is used by someone else !!!????

N70%

Last update has ruined it constantly have to update my feed

S70%

The widget isn't working

N70%
by N####:

Far left tripe. Shockingly poor journalism. People only use for the comments and they're heading south too. Censorship abounds. Total garbage.

U70%
by U####:

Extreme right wing rag, comments section has been taken over by fg supporters.

N70%
by N####:

slow.

T70%
by T####:

Keep deleting people's comments even though most are not offensive in any way.I had issue where I was unable to post comments so I emailed to ask for help, didn't get any response.AVOID!!!!

N70%
by N####:

It's my go to app for news, however, when selecting an article to read the app directs me to a different article. This is getting annoying. It didn't used to do this. Please sort it out.

N70%
by N####:

They got rid of the thumbs down feature, page keeps jumping to the top while scrolling and they are a far-left outlet who close comments on controversial topics and delete comments they disagree with

M70%
by M####:

Its A bit Boring and very Right Wing

N70%
by N####:

Going to delete. Will reconsider when thumb down reinstated.

N70%
by N####:

Great

S70%
by S####:

It's baffling that the issue of the page jumping to the top of news feed has not been fixed after weeks and numerous people pointing out the issue. It is making the app unusable and I'm ready to give up on it.

A70%
by A####:

Shuts down any comments which go against the status quo. Not a news outlet. It is a far-left political organisation with very few original articles.

N70%
by N####:

The comments section is so full of hate and ignorance. I don't want to be associated with those kinds of people.

N70%
by N####:

Edit: The new version is FAR worse than the previous one. Comments don't post, so people post the same comment repeatedly. Bring back the thumbs down, so there is balanced feedback. It's ludicrous to just have thumbs up. Original: Please can you add the following features: allow user to "save" news items to a "favourites" list. Allow user to "follow" items. Allow user to list their own comments. Please stop the app using so much battery and allow the app to be permanently stopped without automatically restarting.

N70%
by N####:

The app keeps refreshing to the top of the screen. If your scrolling through news this is extremely frustrating. You have to repeatedly scroll back to where you were before it refreshed. If you can fix it I will revise my review. Samsung s6

N70%
by N####:

Why so many adds it's just too much and if you want an app full of bugs it's the one for you. Bring back red thumbs. Well done app developers your really earing your money, said no one ever!!!

F70%
by F####:

Getting Worse. News articles are ok. Comments section becoming overrun with far right muppets spreading fear, hatred and misinformation. Absolutely disgusting some of the comments that are allowed.

S70%
by S####:

Used to be a great app but since it removed features such as red thumbs and comment of the week it has become very poor. Disappointing.

P70%
by P####:

"fixed issue where river sometimes snapped to top"...... you have in your arse!
