App crashes
After two recent updates to now version 3.58(1) on my iPhone 13 the App still takes a very long time to load, while the App invariably crashes in the middle of displaying an article. It appears to still run in the background, but the reading history is lost. Infuriating.
Slow and buggy
I have NEVER seen a slower app on iOS.
It takes literal seconds for a click to register.
The app resets back to the home screen when you have the audacity to use another app for a few seconds.
The app crashes every time
This is the worst app I have ever used. It crashes every time on my iPhone after a few minutes of usage, despite using the latest version. I never manage to finish an article and I have to finish by reading from the browser.
Poor customer relations
My subscription was canceled without any notice. It is now impossible for me to pay the outstanding invoice to get it back.
Very poor customer experience.
Freezes a lot ; barely usable !
I am long user of the app but recent updates make it barely usable, freezing a lot. Very frustrating. I have an iPhone 13.
Pristine
Excellent content
Afrique et Moyen-Orient
Depuis maintenant plus plusieurs années je trouve, et je vous écris parfois, que vous ne donnez pas assez de place à l’Afrique et au Moyen-Orient
Je comprends que vos lecteurs s’y intéressent peu, car il y a relativement moins d’opportunités d’affaires qu’ailleurs.
Mets l’expérience montre que cette région peut perturber la planète

Shows ads even for subscribers
Paid for subscription and I couldn’t believe that there are also ads within articles!
App closes upon launch
I am on iPhone 15, last version of iOS and the app closes upon launch.
Great but could be greater
Being able to listen to articles is great but if you close the app the queue you spent time building is lost. I wish you could download your queue and listen to it on and off
