Update: The log in issue is getting worse. Lots of people complaining about the same thing. Still not resolved. Waiting days for email to offer solution. The latest update is very frustrating. I have to log in each time to see premium articles. I'm already a subscriber. Also, the amount of ads in this app is overkill. What am I paying for? Impossible to read an article with a new ad every paragraph

the app is completely unusable. Shows nothing but a blank screen with four dots at the bottom and now I can't open the website either as it defaults to the app. I have tried reinstalling, force stopping and turning off my vpn, all to no avail. Don't bother with the app, uninstall it and just use a browser.

Needs work. Having just taken out a subscription, I've reached that point of logging in to access premium content. Who'd have thought that I'd have to log in repeatedly. The app forgets the login after a few hours. I see from other reviews that I'm not unique. Hopefully it's sorted on the next update
