HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (1.8 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

call or email to unsubscribe is ridiculous in this day and age.

★★★★★Sep 12, 2026

needs a dark mode! plus this app never opens the article I chose from notifications. also why is the menu not locked to the top of my screen and I have to scroll up through the article to find it. and it keeps opening in an article I read weeks ago, every time. needs a LOT of work.

★★★★★Sep 7, 2026

The app is not reliable and frustrating even to open it, keep returning to log in and still not let me in👎😡

★★★★★Sep 6, 2026

The app used to be very good, but over the last few months we have been regularly logged out and had difficulty logging back in. Have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times, also changed password, and for the last week can't log in at all. So we have had to go back to logging in to the daily paper via the internet.

★★★★★Aug 14, 2026

Every update you have the app gets worse.It doesn't download the editions each day but does in Top Stories. All our devices have the same problem. Some days it's ok then back to downloading problems .We've done all the usual clearing cache, uninstall but no good.Please fix it up because we love the West Papers .
