The Independent Reviews

Still offering a broad perspective

EmmaSitara on

Egypt

Used to read the Independent when I lived in the UK. Have lived in Cairo for nearly 20 years and so happy I can continue to enjoy the excellent writing of my favourite newspaper from abroad. Living in the Middle East, one becomes super aware of biased journalism. With the Independent I know that I will receive news with a broad perspective both in terms of topics covered and views aired.

Indy app

Mshepherd5 on

United Kingdom

Quality writing, and an easy app to use. Would highly recommend the Indy.

Need to sign up!

Xeja2020 on

United Kingdom

Can’t even load the main screen or view a single article without signing up or signing in. I want to read the news and nobody should be required to create an account just to do that. Deleted.

Low Quality

Garyb65 on

United Kingdom

Nowhere near as good as the best newspaper apps. Limited functions, articles and variety. Website much better and user-friendly.

Dreadful app

JohnG56 on

United Kingdom

I subscribed and every time I try to log in I have to restore the subscription ! Doesn’t always work

Not sure….

Eggcentric on

United Kingdom

Being hassled to review something immediately after starting it is not conducive to a positive review. I finally gave up and decided to give a review on the 5th request in 5 minutes. I signed up to the Independent after adverts made even the free articles impossible to read. Now I’m being hassled to give reviews. Unless things improve I will be cancelling and ignoring all Independent content. What I have successfully read has only been of moderate quality, so at the moment it’s not looking worth the hassle.

No advance notice of subscription renewal

china tea on

United Kingdom

It’s disappointing that “The Independent”, still uses a decade old scam of enticing you with an introductory offer and then fails to give advance notice of prior to the subscription being renewed. I am sure that the offer said that advance notice would be given before any funds would be taken from my account. The deduction has come at a bad time. Had there been an advance notice, then i would have renewed my subscription 3 weeks later. It’s a shame as I enjoyed the format and news content

So hard to comment

Indy reader is me on

United Kingdom

Posting comments on stories is a great feature, but so difficult to use that it’s virtually useless. You have to sign out, then sign back in again, every time you comment - by which time your comment disappears and you have to re-write it.

News that really matters.

Monkeys Magic on

United Kingdom

A newspaper that actually prints news items not Sensationalism.

Beware of ‘Offers’

67jmh on

United Kingdom

I downloaded the app and took advantage of the 6 months for £1 offer which popped up when I opened the first page. The paper charged me £99 and refuses to refund as the app came via Apple and I’ve had an Independent subscription in the past. It seems the offer is only open to new customers. I’ve cancelled my subscription and have deleted the app. If I could leave no stars I would. I feel like I’ve been mugged and there’s nothing I can do about it.
