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.

I have complained about previous updates for several years but the app remains substandard. It is currently failing to provide any new editions for this year despite reinstalling the app and being logged in. And the report an issue function has no email address attached to it making reporting impossible.

Content continues to be great, especially coverage of multiple viewpoints. The app, on the other hand, fails to load content leaving me staring at a lot of white space when I go to a new page in the app mode. So frustrated I may just cancel.
