Ratings and Reviews
Not good
A few issues with the app.
You can download newspaper, but if you don’t use the app for about 20 mins, it will need to reopen, which you need the internet for. So you can’t read the downloaded paper without internet.
And I like to listen to radio on my phone whilst reading. But reading the newspaper for some reason doesn’t allow outside audio to play at the same time.
Not sure this is an app issue, but about 2 newspapers a day has the menu option of the “wrap” which takes you to the back page, or the first page of the sports section. All other days it has the “sports” menu option, which technically takes you to the wrong end of the sports section.
Text view of paper version
How much longer are we going to put up with the screen changing to the copyable version of the text, merely by clicking on the screen? Why is this version not got to via a button at the top of the screen? Tired of having to put up with this around a dozen times each day. Please amend the method of getting to the text screen.
Room for improvement
Been using for several years now and has improved over time. There is a bug where once you’ve bookmarked an article, if it can’t be found you can’t see anything else you’ve bookmarked. Its most frustrating and requires deletion of the app and reinstall to reinstate, but the the same thing can (and will) happen again.
