Ditto the subscription problem

Every time I use the app it tells me my subscription has expired but it hasn’t. After a few hours it seems to remember. An app with dementia, Useless.

Corrupts credentials

The magazine and its content is excellent. However, the app is frustrating. It regularly tells me that I am not authorised to view content or there is a charge. I log into the site via web browser and am able access the same material with my subscription. Logging out of app and back in again fixes the problem. App doesn’t remember where I have got to in reading an article and resets me to the top or front page. Far from the digital experience I’d expect. Tempting to revert to old school paper editions delivered by snail mail. 4 out of 10 - Could do better. See me after class!

New version, same old issues

The already reported sloppy development issues carry on despite various changes introduced, such as a content pop-up, and the fixed news section now finally getting new stories after being stuck with old ones for more than year!

Reading settings such as font size got worse and now are hidden in the app. Text line spacing for text under pictures still too small and no dark mode.

Can’t really understand how the team developing for such an important magazine still get the basics wrong and wrong again.
