UnHerd

Bad app, won’t allow you to log in at all. Pointless.

I like the journalism. Thought provoking and interesting. The app, however, is terrible. I paid for a subscription but the app refuses to recognise me so I can only read using the website. I don’t understand why the only way to log on is via an email link. What is wrong with a password ? TBH I will probably not renew my subscription due to this hassle.

Why does UnHerd have such a problem with my subscription and password. I’m so fed up with constantly being asked to log in and then having my password refused and am unable to read the articles I have already paid to read. This has been happening for months now in spite of contacting support. Why can’t the emails I get promoting articles send me as a paid up subscriber to the article instead of asking me to log in to read them. Really fed up

Firstly, UnHerd is a great resource for reading diverse opinions on a range of issues. Its international coverage is particularly impressive and shames the likes of the BBC. However, its app does the content little justice. Main problem WHY DO I KEEP HAVING TO LOG ON EVERY TIME I READ AN ARTICLE AND THEN EVERY TIME I READ THE COMMENTS. Rant over, sort it out devs.

Great writers and insights. Please sort out the user experience though - hire a web developer for a few days to sort it out . otherwise brill.

Here I am rating the app. It is a waste of time. It is always asking me to sign in, remembers nothing. This is not a problem I encounter with any other app on my iPhone. A rich man owns UnHerd: he should invest some of his wealth in better app architecture. Otherwise, the content on UnHerd is pretty good.

I enjoy Unherd but the App dev team need sacking. It often fails to recognise me as a subscriber and the comments section makes it difficult to up and down vote comments. In the latest exciting new development it won’t let me comment at all because of some sort of Recaptcha issue. Other publications seem to manage these things perfectly well but it seems beyond the wit of whoever Unherd has given this job to. I don’t imagine that running an app such as this is rocket science in this day and age.

The articles are good if somewhat repetitive but the app will treat you as reading the same article multiple times if you leave the app briefly. Which means that 5 articles a month is more like 2

Used to find the app easy to navigate. Not now. Mad.

No, I don’t agree with all the commentaries, but they are thought provoking and well written. Often they tackle issues ignored by the legacy media, or where only one view is allowed. Freddie Sayers is a great interviewer and everything a leading journalist should be. He restores faith in basic British virtues , not least in those of fair play and excellence. We are better off for UnHerd.
