I was looking forward to using this app again but it is awful. It keeps hanging and crashing. Pages are very slow to load (if at all). Everytime it hangs i have to force close the app and restart it. It is too buggy and honestly just does not work. (I am using the Android version). It also does not work well offline (e.g. on a flight). I have deleted, reinstalled it multiple times - it STILL does not work! It is now July 2026 and the app still does not work, and no changes are happening!

The app worked well on my phone but wanted a bigger screen so today I bought a tablet. Should have read the other reviews first. The tablet version is unusable. Slow to download if it will download at all, visually very poor, much harder to navigate than the phone app, no proper indexing eg the contents is just a few pictures; worst of all for me no puzzles section and no sudokus (now called Mindgames with much reduced content). I think I will cancel my subscription.

Very poor and doesn't function on mobile phone. This app is fine on my tablet but on Samsung S24 Ultra it does not work. It downloads the edition and then fails to show any articles. Therefore it does not meet its primary usecase of being able to read the news and hence is useless. Most disappointing and I will not be subscribing long term until this is fixed. (I have restarted, reinstalled, cleared data and cache, changed font sizes and screen resolutions and all makes no difference).
