Ratings and reviews

The app is riddled with adverts even though I have a premium subscription. There are so many that it distracts from the articles and makes it impossible to enjoy the content. Some of the adverts are of dubious content too. I have subscriptions to the Guardian, NY Times and the UK Times and these feel more premium and prestigious in comparison. A story about the tragic death of two teenagers had 12 adverts which is inappropriate. Unsubscribed after a month unfortunately due to this issue.

The app is good. I would love a section devoted to the archives so I could find specific things. I often have to Google the article then it opens the app but if I could search within the app it would be better.

Loved the app before with adverts. However now asking for 10 euros a month for something I look at for less than 10 minutes in a week. Just deleted it. Asking to much money. I don't think it's a great idea to put it on same price plan as Netflix, Spotify, etc... best of luck to them. There is plenty of news source out there that have no payment wall.
