User Reviews

Users love Frontline’s high-quality, long-standing reporting and welcomed the long‑overdue app. Repeated complaints focus on app instability and access/subscription failures, lack of a magazine/page‑turning e‑reader mode, dark‑mode image problems, and navigation/usability gaps (swipe, bookmarks, tablet layout). Fixing these would significantly improve the experience.

Pros

High-quality, well-researched and trustworthy content with in-depth analysis
Long-standing, trusted magazine — many long-term readers praise its neutrality and relevance
Dedicated app arrival — users appreciate an app (easier than browser/Magzter) and generally usable on phones
Dark mode availability appreciated for comfortable reading

Cons

App instability and glitches: crashes, persistent "restart the app" messages, loading failures, and bookmark/account token errors
Subscription and access problems: trouble renewing subscriptions or opening premium articles despite paid access
No proper e‑reader/magazine mode: missing page‑turning, swipe‑through reading, e‑copy download or in-app ebook view
Dark mode image bug: photos turn grayscale/unwanted black & white
Navigation/usability issues: poor organization, no swipe to next/previous story and suboptimal tablet layout

Recent reviews
