I’ve had a sub through the app store for some months. But since yesterday, the app no longer recognizes my current sub. When I access a story, I now have to subscribe (which I already have) or restore the sub. When I choose that option to restore, I eventually get a message that says, “Sorry, we couldn’t restore your subscription” after it tries to connect to the app store. Update: Apple tried to help me, but this app simply stopped working in terms of recognizing my subscription. Apple was kind enough to issue a refund, so I’m no longer a subscriber. A shame. I liked the app, but it stopped liking me.
Unable to read offline
I anticipated that if I download the paper at home, I should be able to then read it offline on the bus or train but stupidly, the app wants to reconnect online before allowing you to open the app. Extremely frustrating and disappointing. Why bother having the download feature at all. Please fix.
The Age and Sydney Morning Herald do not have this problem.
Shocking start to the day
Downloaded the app, restarted the Ipad, then did it again, no joy, it kept reverting me back to the down load page. Still not working....
Price Increase? Adios!
Not sure what the logic is behind the tripling of the monthly price--significantly higher than any other comparable e-paper--but I cancelled my subscription this afternoon.
Very disappointed.
Hate the App love your paper
I love to wake up in the morning and read your paper. Wish the app didn't freeze and refuse to down load all the time. Guys fix the bugs!
Most frustrating app ever
This would have to be the worst newspaper app ever, constant crashes, unable to load current newspaper etc. Waste of Money.
Ugly interface, you need an account
Quite ugly and you need an account to view articles. Design - ugly, learn from the sydney morning herald, it's awesome!
Extremely Impressed!
This update is an impressive step up in line with other highly rated magazine type layouts. (Flipboard, Currents & Zite). You only need to download and read what interests you and a 7pm edition wraps up the day nicely. What I really like is the ability to also read the paper in its standard format. The zoom in and read works well. Highly recommend.
Poorly Executed
The authors should look at Bloomberg Businessweek+, Flipboard, and even The Daily for ideas on a better execution. In this case, you should stick with the free website. The app has outdated navigation and content refresh is handled poorly.
