The Times of London for iPad

I always have problems with my subscription via AppStore. They charge me monthly but I can't use the content because "no valid subscription was found"... From time to time they fix it after my complains but for a shot period of time. Please think twice before buy it if you don't became the best friend of their support crew ))

У меня была старая подписка на просто theTimes (а не the London Times), до переноса приложения в киоск. После обновления потребовали еще раз подписаться. Минус лишние семьсот

Чудесная газета, ужасное приложение. "Подписка" - это просто воровство денег! Beautiful newspaper, terrible app!

1. very often articles or photos are impossible to email to members of my family or my album. 2. the Message : this Edition has been updated: is annoying because you cannot see what has been added, changed or deleted. Highlighting changes would be useful.

The app is nice and now includes most of the paper. But you cannot mail an article from it, you cannot tweet or comment, it's a very solitary read

Why, oh why did you have do mess around with a perfectly good app? Months on, the new one is still lousy with just too many problems. The experience is still horribly frustrating. I am often tempted to terminate my subscription and start another one with another paper solely because of the app. Please fix that horrendous app asap.

This specific version of the app is perfect for news reading on the iPad. Bravo The Times, now please leave the app alone. :-)

September 2023 - Oh, my, they really screwed up something that was working fairly dependably. The recent update is slow to load, sometimes doesn’t load the current edition, is quirky to navigate and, basically, screws up something that didn’t need changing. The Times doesn’t have a good track record of updates. Really unhappy!!! The new app is crap! Now on my third day of attempting to use this. When it works, it is very slow. More often than not it crashes, over and over and over. What used to be a pleasure is now a huge chore. I want my Times back! The new app takes forever to load, crash frequently (every few pages), requires 5, 10, 15 or more attempts to reload when it does crash, freezes, is difficult to move from page to page ( you try to flick to the next page and either nothing happens or it page gets stuck half way), and many more problems. I hate that you have to go to Contents to get to the next section (e.g. - to get to Scotland from News) rather than just paging to the next section at the end of the previous one. In the Scotland section today the was no Contents or Editions tab so now I'm stuck in that section and can't seem to get anywhere else. I hate having to separately download "special" sections like Magazine or Times2. After being a subscriber almost from the beginning of the iPad edition, this is the first time that I really can't use my subscription because the current version is so bad. Also, nothing I wanted was added and all the new "features" are either worse than the previous alternative or are unnecessary or unhelpful. You've really screwed this one up!!! Update from 28 Feb - today's tally - 10+ crashes and 4 re-installs and I haven't gone beyond the News section. Crashes occur most often on the "In Pictures" page, which I love but can't view anymore as well as on ad pages. Also had a failure to load today, not uncommon. This app is just junk.

Update: Improved app, but please post all the same sports together. Right now you have to scan through the entire sports section to read all the (say) rugby articles. Very inefficient and frustrating. Nice way to read the times. However, the app and especially its interaction with the online version is very buggy. I experience numerous issues saving articles and fetching online links from within the app. Also, deleting saved articles often takes multiple attempts.

The makers have supposedly made changes after extensive research, although it looks suspiciously like the ‘Live’ version. The sport section used to be sub-categorised so that you could select e.g., Football or Tennis and read each of those articles back to back. Now you need to scroll through as the order may be football, rugby back to football, then F1, then back to football etc. The crossword now has an annoying timer which though can be turned off has to be done everyday. If like me you like to start and then return later to the crossword later in the day, hard luck as now your previous answers aren’t held but disappear. I appreciate real first world problems but frustrating all the same.
