The Independent

The independent is my favourite paper but this app is poo. Sometimes it just crashes. Sometimes when scrolling down a story it freezes and you have to wait an age for it to unfreeze. And if you accidentally move your finger a tiny bit left or right while scrolling it thinks you are swiping to the next page and takes you to the top. Poo. Fix it please!

Truly objective and unafraid

Good

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

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.

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

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

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.

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
