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.
Please make downloaded content available offline
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.
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.
This app is pretty frustrating - settings are limited, font size, scrolling and other features don’t quite work as you would expect them to
Major complaint is annoying inability to swipe between articles once you start reading them. Otherwise works fine.
Can you add more colour options for the background, light and dark are too limited.
I always look forward to the next edition of the LRB. Whilst the long-form essay isn’t to everyone’s liking I enjoy the opportunity to read an in depth view, especially on history and the arts Well worth the cost of subscription, especially as you gain access to the digital edition and archive. It would be welcome if the digital edition was available on all versions of kindle rather than just the kindle fire.
I’m not really one for reading anything longer than a tick box menu on an App, and still prefer my real paper LRB. But Royal Mail is HOPELESS at the moment (no delivery for 9 days, and counting) so I couldn’t wait any longer… and it’s proved easy to use, easy to read, and easy to enjoy. I’m converted! But I would still like to see the postman again… please
Unlike other subscribed magazines the LRB has an app bad enough to make you consider cancelling your subscription. If you search for something it kicks you out and asks you to subscribe. It would be inconvenient to out in your details, but don’t worry: this isn’t even an option. Round and round you go. You have to check by edition to find something you want to read. And let’s be honest there’s always quite a lot you can’t be arsed to read in each individual edition. It’s prehistoric and typically LRB. Back catalogue and ability to search and access it. This is the key to subscriber satisfaction in the modern age, guys.
