## London Review of Books Reviews in United Kingdom

### *---- "Great writing, awful app"
The LRB has some of the best writing in the UK, no doubt, but the app is dreadful - even if you can get it to recognise your subscription number, which will likely involve a battle, it’s very poorly designed. There are no options to increase font size or boldness (the text colour looks very cool, but is not good for those with poorer eyesight), nor any other options that readers might enjoy to make the best use of the technology. It’s still worth subscribing, but prepare to wait a long time for a response from technical support when the app won’t let you sign in.
-- McKuen, 2025-12-08

### *---- "Appalling subscriber support"
The paper is great and the app will s very good, but customer service is appalling. It proved impossible to renew a gift subscription. They charged me three times (eventually refunded). Now they’ve locked me out of the app before my sub has ended.
-- Ron Bianco, 2025-12-06

### ***** "A publication you cannot afford to be withou"
A totally indispensable fortnightly arrival - the breadth of its subject matter never fails to amaze (and instruct).
-- Devotee Westminste, 2025-10-15

### *---- "Not good"
I love the LRB and have subscribed to print edition for 20 years. But app seems pretty useless. Search function is hopeless.
-- crosscrossletfitchy, 2025-01-14

### ***** "Please shorten the app name to ‘LRB’"
Currently the title underneath the app icon cuts off ‘LondonReview…’ as it is too long. I realise this is a niche request, however the issue triggers my OCD.
-- VersedPear, 2024-09-01

### **--- "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.
-- HeartKeynes, 2024-06-25

### ***** "No offline reading"
Please make downloaded content available offline
-- Gaga_not_lady, 2024-06-17

### **--- "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.
-- BobNiemand, 2024-05-04

### *---- "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.
-- zarniwooporiginal, 2024-03-14

### *---- "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
