An excellent way for consumers to pay for media. I used to routinely clear my cookies to bypass the paywall because I couldn't afford a one off subscription payment. Since discovering the app I am really happy to pay $3 for a single issue, it's a small impost and I get the satisfaction of supporting independent media in a way too few organisations facilitate. Kudos to whoever designef this system, hopefully it will ensure The Sat Paper prospers well into the future.

Love the paper but... The files the app downloads clutter up my downloads folder. Can you not put them in their own folder or sub folder somewhere?
Michael Sibley
Didnt get a chance to find out! I signed up for 30 day free trial. I lasted 30 minutes, then I had to buy an issue $2.99 or subcribe to read further.

Great. Fixed crash on Android 6

It would be good if I could read already downloaded issues when I don't have a network connection.

Hi Lachlan,
Thanks for the feedback. This will be addressed in a future update. Apologies, as it is annoying not being able to use that folder!

Hi Michael. Sorry to hear about your problem here. The subscription is tied to your email address that you're signed into your device with. If that hasn't changed, could you try tapping the 'Restore Purchases' button and let us know if you still have trouble by email to developer@thesaturdaypaper.com.au. Thanks! Schwartz Media October 12, 2015
Update: Hi again, a new version has been published and should be available shortly. Please let us know if you have any further problems.
Hi Michael. Thanks for the feedback. Google has introduced some changes that indeed causing problems on some devices. An update is in the works and will be released this week. Schwartz Media October 13, 2015
Hi Ian, I'm sorry you're having trouble, could I get you to update to the latest App Version and try again. We've made a few different changes that may help. If you're still having issues, could you email developer@thesaturdaypaper.com.au and let us know at what screen the crashes are occurring. That would be really helpful, thanks. It would be good if I could read already downloaded issues when I don't have a network connection.
Schwartz Media September 27, 2015
Hi Powell. This should be possible. With no connection the app should load up in its previous state, with all downloads remembered. Could you shoot an email to developer@thesaturdaypaper.com.au and we'll see if we can figure it out? Great app if you're sitting up I really love the interface, very easy to use, and easy to read...except if i am lying down. The app will always rotate the screen even if i have set my phone not to rotate. Very frustrating when you are trying to read in bed. Others have mentioned this in reviews, but no responses have been posted by Schwartz Media. Will this be addressed in future updates? Edit 12/5/15 i love that it is much easier to read in bed now. Thank you
Schwartz Media May 10, 2015
EDIT: Hi again Larry. We've released version 1.1 of the app which fixes this annoying bug! Update and let us know how you go.
Hi Larry,
Thanks for the feedback. We are aware of the rotation issue, and it will be fixed in the next update (we love to read the paper in bed also).
Any other issues please feel free to contact us.
Freezes on the first screen I love The Saturday Paper, however this app does not allow me to read it! It won't let me past the opening screen.

Hi Ruby,
Sorry to hear you're having this issue. When it freezes - does your device allow you to 'Send a bug report to the developers' or similar? This would be very helpful in isolating your problem and including a fix in the next update.
In the interim, updating your phones Android version from 4.0.3/4 may assist (if possible). Ray Buck Great read but app very slow to open. It gets slower as time goes on with an increasing number of papers.
Schwartz Media September 6, 2015
Hi Ray,
Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you're enjoying the paper. We are working on a backend improvement to speed up the loading times of the app. Should hopefully see some quicker times soon. Crashes on 50% of my devices I've been using the app for about 2 months now and have it installed on two android devices. On my phone (LG G3 lollipop it crashes all the time when resuming from another app or device lock). I've reported crashes via the crash report but have seen no updates or responses). It's fine on my samsung note tablet.
Schwartz Media May 10, 2015
EDIT: Hi again Adrian. We've released version 1.1 of the app which fixes many crashes, including those noticed on your device. Update and let us know how you go.

Hi Adrian,
We've been reviewing the crash data and have an update in the works now to sure it up on the devices that are experiencing problems. Thanks for reporting them. Will not open - asking for internet connection App does not load up. Keeps asking me to connect to the internet first. I am connected via WiFi, which is how I downloaded the app and am writing this very comment. Unlucky!!

Hi Darren,
Thanks for letting us know. We're experiencing a server issue this morning that is stopping the app from loading correctly. We're working on a fix and it should be up shortly.
Thank you for your feedback. Content menu not obvious Crashed twice on startup in the first few hours of use. Menu that gets you to most of the content is hard to find - took me quite a while to find it
Schwartz Media September 29, 2014
Hi David,
I believe we responded to your email - thanks for sending that through, please let us know how you go. We are investigating the crashes. For reference there is a help page available in the top right ‘three dots’ menu explains how to interact with the app. Swiping right and left will take you to previous and next articles. Very nice app Simple,fast to load, intuitive interface. All good now that the server gremlins are fixed!
Terrific app Well worth the wait for this one. Terrific app. Really fast, very user friendly, and has that element of class about it that you'd expect from the Saturday Paper. Can't wait for the Monthly one too
On my Nexus 10 tablet, dies not keep my screen rotation locked as per my Android settings, which is annoying.

Hi Andrew, Thanks for the feedback. We are aware of the rotation issue, and it will be fixed in the next update (we love to read the paper in bed also). Any other issues please feel free to contact us. Good stuff, great app Easy to use, nice layout, much better than some of the other newspaper app's out there
Don't know Because app only does 1 thing: crash!??? Moto g 2nd gen 2014 4.4.4

EDIT: Just an update Gendun. We've released version 1.1 of the app which fixes many crashes, including those noticed on your device. Update and let us know how you go.
Hi Gendun, We've been reviewing the crash data and have an update in the works now to sure it up on the devices that are experiencing problems. Thanks for reporting them. Schwartz Media May 10, 2015
EDIT: Hi again Ronson. We've released version 1.1 of the app which fixes many crashes, including those noticed on your device. Update and let us know how you go.
Hi Ronson, We've been reviewing the crash data and have an update in the works now to sure it up on the devices that are experiencing problems. Thanks for reporting them. OK, but I'd love to see some better font size options. Large is not a lot larger than normal.
Schwartz Media February 15, 2015
Hi Chris, thanks for the feedback. We'll be adding a range of readability options, including font size options in a future update. The font size options under Androids 'Settings - Device - Display' - Font Size' should also help in the meantime.
Thanks very much. Can't open! Keeps on demanding Internet connection, even though 3G and wifi are enabled.

Hi Mary,
We're experiencing a server issue at the moment that is stopping the app from loading correctly. We're working on a fix and it should be up shortly.
Thank you for your feedback. Great Publication, Bad File Management Very high quality journalism, but as a subscriber I'm sick of dealing with having to delete literally hundreds of images after each issue is downloaded. It's now reached the point where I will now only access TSP from a desktop device. Please fix this and host the images locally, or provide an easy solution to delete images once an issue has been read. Fix the problem and I'll reinstall the app.
Bugs Hi guys, love the paper but after purchasing one issue, the app crashed three times and appears to have caused an issue with the Google play store app. Every time I opened the google play store app, it would tell me that I needed to enable background data and refused to start. Issue resolved after I uninstalled the TSP app. I'm running app on a Galaxy S3.
Schwartz Media September 29, 2014
Hi Sean,
Sorry to hear about the issues. Would you be able to send us an email at subscribe@thesaturdaypaper.com.au with any other details and we’ll investigate this and get back to you. Issues with purchases may be caused by not having an up-to-date version of gPlay Services - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms The Saturday Paper Love the paper..hate the app. Have installed/uninstalled etc etc numerous times but it just keeps crashing. I'm on a Samsung Note.
Schwartz Media February 15, 2015
Hi Steve, sorry to hear about your app troubles, and apologies for the delay in getting back to you. If you could email subscribe@thesaturdaypaper.com.au with your device model number, and when you've experienced the crashes we can investigate further. Also will not open Yes my internet is switched on, but this app will not see it.
