Changes to your Coffs Coast Advocate app experience

As you have hopefully seen by now, we are moving across to a new home under the umbrella of The Daily Telegraph. This will mean changes to our local app.

As you have hopefully seen by now, in coming days we will be moving across to a new home under the umbrella of The Daily Telegraph.

Our commitment to local news remains number one and we are keen to ensure you make the most of your experience.

Remember you will still find us at coffscoastadvocate.com.au - that page will redirect to our new 'home page' for Coffs Coast news.

As part of the changes we will be discontinuing our local news app which has become rather outdated.

Check out all the great features on The Daily Telegraph app.

Instead, we would encourage you to download The Daily Telegraph app which will give you a much faster, and more comprehensive coverage of news from across New South Wales and around the nation and world.

In coming weeks, you will also be able to personalise your news experience, giving greater priority to news from Coffs Coast.

Once you download the app, you can enable notifications to get alerts on your phone when big stories across the state break.

You will also be able to read the digital replica of The Daily Telegraph, including features such as puzzles and cartoons.
