Ratings and reviews

Absolutely the worst app I have ever used on my phone, and I include Cheetah. The settings page is a joke. There is no Android phone friendly magazine edition. The daily edition seems to be curated by someone whose last job was hidden away in the basement of the British museum. I'm going to try the UK app in the hopes that it's a little better but I have my doubts.

Useful for when my physical copy doesn't show up in the post. But a really annoying thing about this app is the thumbnail that is constantly present at the bottom right of the screen, obscuring the text behind it. There is a gap under the thumbnail, allowing one line of text to be seen, so the full article is readable, but its presence is still annoying. Surely it wouldn't be difficult to have it so you could scroll the text further up beyond this thumbnail . Or just get rid of the thumbnail.

1000th review! The download option is intermittent and it's not navigable. You can't listen to the audio version offline and at the end of a sound section (i.e. the typical few minute one, it jumps to a random prior one, but always the same random one for a few hours)
