InYourArea Customer Insights

1. Cookies are not included in account details, you have to accept them Every Single Time you log in - it's a complete waste of precious time, if you want to add a comment, make sure you save it as you write it, the page is so unstable you can lose it any time.Something wrong... load time slowed down since last update, and also keeps just going blank after a few seconds.This app is a joke it sends me codes to get into the app, I even try to sign in through their email and it tells me the code is wrong! Don't bother with it!!!!I really appreciate "In your area".

2. After filling in the areas I live near, it then gives me literally dozens of intrusive and useless ads and information for places about 50 miles away...... Pointless.

3. However, I found the adverts intrusive and diverting, so I stopped using it for a long time.

4. It has a daily update focussed on my local information, events, politics and news.

5. So full of ads it takes forever to load the page, then it loads all the ads again because you moved the page or clicked on a link.

6. I've returned now, hoping the revision has improved the situation.The app itself is fine but the text is far too small and I can't see any method of enlarging it.

7. Having retired to Bournemouth in 2017 and then moving to the delightful village of Westbourne in 2018 is the best thing I have done.

8. The website keeps me up to date everyday with what's going on so thank you.

9. It's great to get all local news all in one place.

10. It's really well laid out and even a daily competition which, by the way, I haven't won yet !!!!Complete joke of an app.

11. Please can you add an accessibility option so it's possible to enlarge text.
