Signed up and am very disappointed in the format and content. I hate the way everything is in one long column.
I thought it was going to be a serious publication but can’t find much in the way of interesting opinion pieces. I think I’ve wasted my money.
Disappointed
I downloaded the app at the weekend and after four days of repeated logins, I have deleted the app without having managed to read a single article. It accepted my credentials and then immediately asked for them again, taking an inordinate time to load and indeed I could not even achieve the page loading through my home wifi - it would only do it at work. Most disappointed.
Content great, hangs a lot
'Nuff said.
Crashy and unloady
Hit and miss loading and crashes.
Needs improvement
A one sided rant of opinions
Years ago I bought this paper when in the UK now have the app and what a biased read. Most stories seem to have an agenda that just leaves you with distrust for the news outlet.
Lay the facts of both sides with equal weight then I may open this app again.
Independent seems like its more dependent these days.
Excellent
Great functioning app with great Independent journalism.
Great news source!
As above, I use it daily. Pity about no comments section on the app page. Mitchell
Independent News
Credible, varied, interesting, non-voyeuristic, relevant, and reliable are all words I describe The Independent reading experience over the past year since I've started reading it. Thank you to all.
A great read
Excellent content. Worth reading every day
Absolutely brilliant
Love the writing. One of the best papers going round. Great app too
