User Reviews

User reviews focus on reliability and UX problems: the app crashes frequently, ads disrupt reading even for paying users, navigation/scrolling is finicky, login/auth issues prevent subscription access, and device compatibility/offline reading limitations hinder usage. A few mentions of content quality exist, but persistent bugs and performance problems dominate the feedback.
Pros
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and stability problems across devices and after updates.
  • Advertising and data-tracking concerns, with ads disrupting reading even for paying subscribers.
  • Navigation and content discovery issues, including poor content structure and scrolling jumping back to the top.
  • Login/authentication problems where active subscriptions are not recognized in-app.
  • Device compatibility issues and platform-specific bugs (e.g., Android 15, tablets like Onyx Boox) and offline reading limitations.

en pysty katsomaan näköislehteä. aukeaa mutta ei pysy screenillä.

versio 7.73.0 kaatuu muutaman uutisen jälkeen päivän uutisia luettaessa. Aiemmin toimi hyvin. Tähdet paranee, kun bugi on fiksattu. En myöskään tykkää, ettei enää voi ladata päivän hesaria offlineen. Oli hyvä ominaisuus esim. lentokoneessa. Tiedän, että näköislehden voi, mutta sitä on aika hankala lukea puhelimen näytöltä.
