Devon Live Reviews 101

Very poor. Site is difficult to navigate due to the sheer volume of adverts displayed to look like news articles and 90% of the stories are clickbait.

Much like other Reach company news pages.

Always been poor reporting, badly written and impossible to actually read and digest due to the crap adverts between every sentence.
Used to flick through the pages but now they actually want me to pay to flick through their crap, thou jest of course.
You know where you can stick it.
I just don't bother looking now, I hope the paper goes down the pan now it's losing readers, advertisers will be affected and hopefully withdraw funding. Good riddance.

They wanna charge you now for a glitchy devon live app to scroll though with no ad's is a joke. I would pay for such a terrible app snd hope no one else does cause this app and the bad reporting ain't worth 50p let alone 2.99 a month... I don't understand why every news on the Internet wanna charge us for reading the news especially when alot of the news is made up rubbish...

They ban you for speaking the truth

Seems more like a vehicle for scams very disappointing & if you believe some of the stories very dangerous best deleted

Awful. Full of adverts that clog up the screen like a blocked drain. Usually full of articles about iconic pubs that no one cares about. Articles on celebrities farting somewhere in Devon. Articles about single mums or families with children who have autism where there holiday was ruined by something trivial.
AND soon we will see the article again about the razorfish on Paignton beach. THE DAY TORBAY TURNED RED! It happened nearly 30 years ago. THIRTY. Good gravy.

Journalism at its worst. Middle school level.

I would be surprised if they have ever posted anything that's true.

Devons newspapers and the cornishman were taken over by reach media who are awful. Reporting on deaths and naming people before all family are even informed. Pretty scummy thing to do. Will never read their paper again.

Pity I can’t give zero stars. Let’s start passing the message, vow not to click on Devon Live or any of the other affiliated sites. Pop-ups, click bait, every trick in the book to get you to click on something you didn’t want to.
I vow not to use Devon Live ever again.

Can't see anything through all the advertisements, headlines are to get you onto the website and the story is dragged out so you swip passed the endless minefield of adverts

More advertising than journalism.

Complete rubbish. Owners clearly aren't interested in anything except click bait, and happy to use AI as much as possible. Tragic, considering it's the Express and Echo's heritage, and based in Exeter.

I don't know what the purpose of this organisation is as the content is complete rubbish and mainly made up or totally inconsequential

One of their stories was about Broadsands beach near Combe Martin ,they described it as golden sands and the photo showed people surfing and in the background beach huts .This is not Broadsands ,there are no beach huts the sand is a grey colour and you won't see anyone with a surf board because you have to walk down 219 very steep steps ( closed at the moment due to a landslip ) .
This is a stunning place but it's clear to me this story is just made up ,like most of their other badly researched and written content .

It's easy to see why these sites are not used a great deal. With it's constant pop up and block ads, followed by total lock up who the hell would subscribe.

The articles are unreadable as the they keep jumping and sticking, then the screen goes red

Can’t read a story as website crashes then reloads

Given up using the site.. the ads block all but approx 20% of the screen making it horrible to use.

Repeating the same stories .. causing distress to all concerned … making trolling an open forum which could have life changing impact on families especially children of the article… stories sensationalised and not totally factual … lives could be lost through this type of journalism… especially when mental health issues are at the forefront …
