This online paper is most likely the most biased and inaccurate read ever... avoid it! it sucks and terribly so... -- Adepss, 2017-03-04 ### *---- "Useless" Article links switch out to browser view instead of displaying within the app -- 三秒坊主, 2017-01-22 ### ***** "Slowly does it" Great content, refreshingly "independent" and "Fisky", with wonderful spread of serious and flip coverage and high-quality reporting. Only two gripes are that it is far slower to log on to than The Guardian, and that when following links in a story any visuals they contain usually do not appear. Many thanks for doing what you do so 95% well ! -- Nic Noname, 2015-06-12 [View all The Independent - News reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## The Independent -
