## TimesLIVE Reviews in South Africa

### *---- "Bad reviews"
Do the editor or management even read the one bad review on another…..shocking!!!!
-- hsbshrb, 2024-02-12

### *---- "Sooo difficult to use"
I have subscribed for years. But I regularly am unable to access the Sunday Times due to computer glitches. Now I am unable to access Premium news items. I have no idea why.
-- gluccy, 2023-11-01

### *---- "Poor maintenance"
This App has been inaccessible since the past weekend with absolutely no remedy in sight. 
Despite the ongoing poor ratings nothing is being done to improve the situation.
-- chris Van @007, 2023-09-05

### *---- "App is broken after update"
On both iPad and iPhone, when opening the app there is an error message 'This application service is currently unavailable'. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but no change. This is really frustrating as it was working perfectly BEFORE the latest update!!
-- JhnBrtrm, 2023-09-02

### *---- "You can’t rotate the app on iPad"
Why make an app for iPad if you can’t even rotate it. No one reads articles or books on iPad in portrait mode. I wold give it zero stars if it was possible.
-- Mshonga, 2023-08-31

### *---- "Times Live App"
Slow, cumbersome and clunky. Not at all user friendly.
-- Tony#$*, 2023-05-14

### *---- "Times live"
The app is not user friendly. Of all the apps on my phone, Times Live is the worst. So sad really because I have been an subscriber to the Sunday Times for a very long time
-- Sandsk11, 2023-05-04

### *---- "How do you pay and get premium"
How do you pay and get the premium version
-- zev18, 2023-04-09

### *---- "Awful App"
This app is riddled with bugs.  The app stops scrolling smoothly, then freezes, then crashes, or will need to be restarted… every single time I open it.  It is poorly designed with the back button being black font on black banner, have to guess where to touch to go back to the list of articles. Deleting off my phone.
-- Ashelsss, 2023-03-19

### *---- "Unusable"
The app continually freezes and closes on its own, within seconds of opening it. Completely useless
