So here's my honest take on The Local - News in English. I've tested a bunch of news and lifestyle apps for expats, and this one's up there with the best. The content is really solid and relevant, and the app itself is well-designed and easy to use. And the personalization features are a nice touch too. On the downside, the paywall for some content can be a bummer, and the ads get old after a while. But for a free app, it's pretty darn good. I'd recommend it to anyone living or interested in Northern/Western Europe.

Description

Been using The Local – News in English for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that gives you the latest news and essential guides for living in 9 European countries. Pretty solid if you’re into that kinda thing.

Here’s what you can do – there’s the news section where you can read articles on everything from travel and jobs to visas and taxes. It’s got some cool features too like personalized news feeds and push notifications. And the guides are pretty helpful if you’re moving to a new country – took me a while to figure some of that out but it’s useful.

Look, if you’re an expat or just interested in life in Europe, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the ads can be annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.
