Annoying

Why doesn’t the Home button take me to the top of the home page as it used to?

Starving journalist adverts is annoying. Especially with a subscription to this app, why do I have to pay twice?

Not fixed in 3 months

So following on from my review in early January we have had several updates including fixes to the crosswords. Today is the 9th April and the puzzles are still broken. Randomly when select a clue to fill in it fills the screen with yellow so you CAN’T see what you’re typing. This lack of progress coupled with the higher subscription costs has finally lead me to cancel.

Glitchy

I’m a fan of the journalism, but the rush towards animation seems to make the app unstable - it is forever crashing, freezing , buffering or building . I have a current iPhone and the software is up to date. If I wanted audio or video content, I’d listen to an app or go to the BBC …..

Please please fix the crosswords!

Error code 1560. There was a problem downloading the crossword, please check that you have an internet connection (yep) or try again later (nope). Then a massive screenful of 1570: NSValidationMissingMandatoryPropertyError many many times over. This is too frustrating for words. Please take it seriously and fix it. Thank you.
