Diverse technische Probleme. Loginprobleme, Artikel werden nicht korrekt angezeigt oder die Newsletter ist leer. Die Hotline kann dabei auch nicht helfen und sieht den Fehler auch nicht bei sich. Aber ich denke die Bewertungen hier sprechen für sich

Lieber User Pat Tate, wir bedauern sehr dass Sie so unzufrieden sind und das Gefühl haben dass der Leserservice Ihnen nicht helfen konnte. Die Nutzung der digitalen Inhalte basiert technisch einerseits darauf dass wir Nachrichten zur Verfügung stellen, aber andererseits auch davon dass der Leser diese auf seinen Endgeräten empfangen kann.

Zu wenig kostenlose Beiträge. Dafür fände ich auch mehr Werbung okay.

What’s new

Mit der neusten Version 8.1.1 haben wir einen Fehler behoben, der die App zum abstürzen brachte und weitere Performance Optimierungen, die ein flüssigeres Erlebnis innerhalb der App ermöglichen. Viel Spaß!
