## Church Times Reviews in United Kingdom

### *---- "Unusable"
Looking to get my money back. So tired of articles jumping up to the top when trying to scroll.
-- peter william, 2025-08-15

### *---- "Useless App"
My experience is much the same as others here. It simply barely works, is late  and today refuses to let me in as a digital subscriber.  Son after months of this I will not be renewing my subscription in August. DH
-- Bottled up frustration, 2025-06-27

### *---- "Disappointed"
I am finding it impossible to access through the App. I’ve tried and tried. The previous App was so easy.
-- £loss, 2025-06-26

### **--- "Inadequate"
UPDATED 
June 2025
App seems to have been recently improved and if it works consistently I would upgrade to 3 or 4 stars.

May 2025

Given how much you’re paying to subscribe, this is a very poor experience. 

Church Times is theoretically published on a Friday but who knows when and how the app will decide to download the latest issue.  I have recently got  a new device with up to date os but the experience is the same.

Interface: If you hold your finger even a split second too long on an article it scrolls right back to the top.  

All the job ads say they were published on 1st Jan, regardless of the true date.

I may go back to paper subscription.
-- GarageView, 2025-06-13

### *---- "Sad"
The new app is terrible, I have to reinstall it weekly to read the latest edition. It is harder to navigate and has made me return to the print edition
-- freddifrog, 2025-05-30

### *---- "Why?"
This was a good app but now I don’t get the new edition until Monday, I can’t read the up to date edition straight away, I have to download each section to read everything when I used to be able to pick some and leave others for later without going back through the process. I subscribe to The Tablet and it is there on Thursday, an email lets me know it’s there, it downloads and is available to read like the hard copy. Seems clear to me, use the same system for the CT.
-- bishopproudie, 2025-05-03

### *---- "Illegible"
The decision to change the font from a good, clear option to a cramped, greyed-out one is baffling. It’s not even stylish. Clearly no thought has been given to those with visual impairments. I’m regretting my decision to switch from a print to a digital subscription, which was based on how readable the app previously was.
-- F_D-23, 2025-04-16

### *---- "Latest version of this app is incompetent"
The CT app worked perfectly well until the  &#039;updates&#039; of this calendar year. Since then, each week&#039;s edition will not download unless I laboriously log out and then log back in to my account. This applies to up to date Apple devices that should be compatible with the app, e.g., the latest 2024 11 inch iPad M2. Once downloaded, the app takes much longer to open each edition: the earlier version was much quicker to open. These issues are an example of incompetence and need to be rectified. Users are not currently getting the quality of service for which they have paid. I have now started logging into the CT website in preference to the app. Please correct these issues.
-- Middle aged bloke, 2025-04-14

### *---- "New app unusable"
As others have said, the only way to read a new issue is to delete and reinstall the app. The old version worked ok, the new one is terrible. One lost subscriber here.
-- Harrowsaint, 2025-04-13

### *---- "New app still broken on 4th April"
Still crashes when attempting to read latest issue.  Other issues as well on ipqd OS. 18.3. Useless in its present state
