User Reviews

Users praise the journalism and content quality but cite persistent issues that undermine the experience: frequent sign-in and subscription access problems, the app reporting offline status or failing to load latest articles, intrusive ads for paying subscribers, crashes and clunky navigation, and a lack of dark mode and accessibility options. The core content is valued, but reliability and UX are inconsistent, driving frustration and churn. Improvements in login reliability, offline behavior, ad handling, and accessibility would help align the app with its strong journalism.

Pros

High-quality journalism/content.
Reliable content when the app works.
Delivers the core reading experience when not hindered by issues.

Cons

Frequent sign-in/subscription access problems (logged out, subscription not recognized).
App reports offline or cannot load latest articles despite good internet.
Intrusive ads even for paying subscribers.
Crashes, instability and poor navigation/back behavior.
Lack of dark mode and basic accessibility options.

Recent reviews

Nothing loads in the app anymore.

I'd give it another star or two were it not for the constant "You are offline" (rarely the case) screen with a non functional refresh button every time there's a network change. having to force stop the app several times per day to load content does not make for a good user experience.
