On the eve of our four year anniversary, the team at the Western Plains App is keen to get your feedback about our innovative free news service through an online survey.

From a standing start, we’re proud our digital news service now reaches 25,000 readers a month across the Western Plains - from Gilgandra to Bourke, and Cobar to the Warrumbungles.

“It's a huge area, but we have a lot in common as neighbours and communities facing many of the same issues,” says Lee O’Connor, the App’s founder and Editor. 

“We embraced this technology to overcome the tyranny of distance that keeps our communities apart, by enabling us to send news directly to your phone, wherever you are.

“Over the years the technology behind the app has improved, and the size of our virtual newsroom has expanded so we now bring you regional news on a daily basis.

“As part of our commitment to continuous improvement of our service, we’d like to find out more about how you use the Western Plains App and what you value about it.

The survey is now available online from this link, and will only take a couple of minutes to complete.

“It seeks to find out a bit more about you as a reader and how you use the App,” says Mrs O’Connor.

“We’d also like to know how much you value the service we provide and if you have any suggestions for improvement.

“Your participation will be very much appreciated, as it will help shape our future development.”
