Technically, the app works but you can only find limited recent stories arranged by date. At times, there are several news headline categories IF the you can find the categories in setting. Sometimes, the categories can be found in settings but like today, it's nonexistent. My biggest complaint is the lack of being able to search the data base for specific stories previously posted or even a general word search.

This app never works properly. I was listening to the podcast on Spotify regularly and decided to pay for the additional content... Immediate regret. You listen to the premium content on Spotify so you have to use a different app which I downloaded only to find that it still won't play any of the premium episodes anyway even though I followed all instructions. The app itself only let's me read articles. I can't even access my actual account on it, just a blank white screen page after page.

When the new website launched with a font that hurt my eyes, I had to give up on The Local - it's a shame they didn't do more accessibility testing. Then I remembered the app. Which is far easier on my eyes! Unfortunately there's not the same range of articles within the app as the website, but better than nothing. 30/6/2023 - I was really excited to see that more articles would be available on the app! Only they've rolled it out with the same font. And no dark mode or accessibility options :(
