Ratings and reviews

it's great but sure like the paper version more. I use the app when travelling, I don't have a copy on hand, or for searches. Lately have been having trouble with the app. for example the search doesn't work. it still recognises me though so I am signed in. Search works perfectly fine if I find a browser and go directly to the website. Does the app need upgrading or something? Any advice would be appreciated.

I had an issue with Dark Mode on the app but it was speedily resolved so upped my review to 4 to 5 stars. I'm new so still feeling my way around. App is easy to use and I find reading is comfortable both on tablet & even on phone. The sheer mass of content and rapid output is a bit overwhelming at times but as I said, I'm still working it out. As an irregular & at times regular reader of the TLS for 30 years I am glad I have affordable access to the journal.

Routinely logs you out of the app, which then requires that you find the subscriber number you were sent in an email in order to log back in. Logging in via the website often simply results in an error. The slider for changing the font size has too few options: either the text is huge or miniscule. Other minor annoyances.
