From fiction to philosophy, religion to politics, social studies to film: TLS readers can decipher, discuss and delve into it all.

The TLS app is free to download and you can access the contents in  the following ways:

## The Times Literary Supplement Reviews in United States

### **--- "Login ugh"
With the new update I get prompted to login in every time I launch the app.  At least I don’t have to retrieve my subscriber number anymore .
-- Fardfx, 2024-04-19

### *---- "Do not let these people have your credit card number"
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.
-- R. Uncle Pennybags, 2023-12-30

### **--- "Not an improvement"
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.
-- Touristan, 2023-07-07

### ***-- "Too big margins and no split view"
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！
-- Jun Chen in May, 2022-11-02

### ***** "Great content"
Diversity and quality.
-- AllanDiBiase, 2022-09-27

### *---- "Aggravating password system"
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.
-- Smothert, 2022-04-05

### *---- "Terrible app, TLS REFUSES TO FIX"
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.
-- Youitry, 2022-02-12

### ***** "Sanity in a sad, sick world"
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
-- SRosenman, 2021-07-07

### ***** "Drop off"
I open the app to an issue, and it keeps closing. Not amused.
-- Gatsby1114, 2021-04-02

### ***** "Time Sink!"
Cannot use this app from day to day without refilling subscription information each and every time. Search for info, copy and paste, hit ok, read—for a bit—repeat endlessly.

———————

Update: does anyone understand why they see the need constantly to login as a desirable feature? What does it to for them?

In my best moment, I realize I should cancel and read via library subscriptions online.
-- Paul Bove, 2020-11-16
