The app is not very good but sort of works and the content of the magazine is not that bad. However, for a digital subscription, while you can easily sign up for a trial on their Web site, you can only discontinue the “trial” and avoid paying for a regular subscription by calling their call center, which does not make clear exactly when you may call. There is also an email address but all they are capable of doing is redirecting you to the call center. It’s obvious that the only reason for it to work this way is to make it inconvenient enough that you fail to cancel even if you do not wish to receive the subscription anymore. This sort of deceptive business practice ought to be illegal.
Completely new design, but you still keep having to re-login, just like before - have your subscriber number handy. The app defaults to highlights, rather than the edition you’re reading and your place in it. If you leave the app open to keep your place, it bounces up and down, I guess to show you what you were reading? Scrolling is jumpy sometimes. The TLS is great, but digital readers deserve a better experience.
I’m using iPad mini 6 for daily reading bz it’s light and compact. TLS on iPad mini 6 makes reading a struggle rather than an enjoyment. Apart from the two problems mentioned in the title, the typeface is either too small which forces my eyes to squint and stare at the screen or way too big which makes a huge wasted screen area and forces me to constantly slide my thumb. It‘s a tiring and painful to use the app despite the content of TLS is really great!
Diversity and quality.
I use the app when I travel, and like to download issues before I go. The app frequently denies access, won’t let my password app supply the user/password, doesn’t like the password, etc. I understand the need to protect intellectual property. But if you can’t make access closer to the experience of picking up the paper and beginning to read, there’s no point in a digital subscription, and it’ll be easier just to throw a few issues in the checked luggage.
Five months and counting of not working.
Fails every to authorize my valid sibscription every month. TLS refuses to fix, tells me to use web version, not iPad app. I’ve given up on TLS and canceled my sub.
Need TLS more than ever as a place of refuge Have been subscribing since 1988 and ever since then my cocktail party chatter has glittered as strangers flock around me to listen to me hold forth as I regurgitate all that I have read that week
I open the app to an issue, and it keeps closing. Not amused.
