User Reviews

Users praise TLS content quality and on-the-go reading, but repeatedly cite login/subscription problems, crashes, typography issues, download/UX glitches, and poor cancellation support as major app drawbacks. The content shines, but the app experience remains unstable and frustrating for many users.

Pros

High-quality, diverse TLS content (strong book reviews and essays).
Clear, readable typography on devices where the font is comfortable to read.
Offline access and flexible purchasing options (downloadable issues, subscription or individual issues).
On-the-go reading supported, with some reviewers finding the app easy to navigate and use.

Cons

Persistent login/authentication and subscription recognition problems.
Frequent crashes and overall app instability.
Font size/readability issues (fonts too small or too large, not adjustable).
Download and navigation challenges (issues with keeping downloaded issues, deleting downloads, extra clicks, awkward UI).
Difficulties with cancellation and support responsiveness.

Recent reviews

Impossible to delete, mark, or otherwise distinguish which issues you have read. The delete button does nothing. The check mark indicating a downloaded issue pops back within a second.

Continue to have login issues, issues recognizing subscription, font is tiny. Access to the digital subscription is really hit or miss. As one reviewer pointed out, at least I don’t have to search for my subscriber number!
