London Review of Books Reviews
Great content
I am disappointed that the app keeps advertising push notifications. In my view, this is exactly the opposite of the ethos of LRB, uninterrupted time for delving into topics.
LBR = 5 stars
Love the simplicity of this app
Buggy and basic
I download back issues and mark favourites and they disappear. I get numerous errors when launching on 4G or if the app is backgrounded for any length of time. Not sure why there isn’t a remote server user profile that stores more about my use and bookmarks than just account info. It’s a shame, the content is magnificent.
No offline reading
Please make downloaded content available offline
Can’t swipe to the next article anymore
It has improved very slowly over the years , but following the last update it no longer lets you swipe right to go to the next article, after reading for a while. Most random, bizarre error. You have to exit the current issue, then try and find the issue again, which isn’t easy, if you’re a little behind. Also, it does not let you load the ToC for some reason. The Back button takes you straight to the list of issues, not the ToC. Very annoying. Usability is down again.
Infuriating keeps failing to work offline
I mainly want to read on the tube. Unfortunately most times you try and open this offline it will either fail to open the feed at all of it will have deleted all the issues you downloaded before.
Needs more work
This app is pretty frustrating - settings are limited, font size, scrolling and other features don’t quite work as you would expect them to
Content good - app currently annoying
Major complaint is annoying inability to swipe between articles once you start reading them. Otherwise works fine.
Good but...
Can you add more colour options for the background, light and dark are too limited.
