Ratings and reviews

Another review reports they just get a white screen after entering their account details. I also have this problem, unless I change my default browser from Firefox to Chrome. Once logged-in then I can switch my default browser back to Firefox. I would be much more likely to renew my subscription if I didn't have to semi-regularly fiddle with arcane phone settings just to read a news article. Please also improve the proofing of breaking news stories.

I couldn't use it. I installed it and was then required to create an account. Fine. I entered my email address and created a password; the screen then went white and nothing happened. I force-closed the app about 2 minutes later and tried again. Same result. Third time: I created the account on the website, restarted the app and chose the 'LOG IN' rather than 'REGISTER' option. Same result. My next action: Uninstalled the app.

Poor.. On Android, I can never log in, just get a white screen with a whirly wheel.. Uninstalled and reinstalled several times, same result. Update - Developers replied that this had been resolved. Let me tell you, it has not. After reinstalling, tried to login, and still get a white screen. Uninstalled.
