Ratings and reviews

The only options to share articles are Bluetooth and "nearby," which I presume is NFC. Also, ads ads ads. I don't entirely begrudge the banner ads on articles. I get it that newspapers have always relied on adspace for revenue. But the splash screen ads and, worse, auto-playing videos are a step too far. I'm a subscriber, I shouldn't have to wait for a full-screen ad to load every time I open the app. And no one should be subjected to auto-playing videos.

The app is really clunky and not user friendly. You can't copy text and if you exit the app, you lose the article you are on and have to go find it again.

Looks theyve improved the notifications for the Breaking News alerts. But still cant read the articles because it constantly asks to subscribe to something despite already being logged into the app already. I dont have this problem when accessing the website on a desktop. Definitely seems like some kind of money grab eventhough they are already showing ads on this thing.
