Ratings and reviews

So one could argue about the new app structure, I think it just needs some time to get used to it. But I'm paying already for Spiegel+ and then getting the most ridiculous ads in my face while reading? Full page ads in the middle of the reading experience? And you're asking for another anti-ad subscription on top of the 20€? Oh, and that would only get rid of "most" ads? Seriously? Not "all"? This is beyond ridiculous! If this doesn't change soon I'll have to stop the subscription.

Worst version of app ever released. Almost as if der Spiegel don't want you to use the app. Navigation is unbelievable cumbersome and looks like it's been designed by an imbecile. Still using the app and I don't have any complaints anymore.

Design and usability is decent but the Audio playback stops working in background so it is completely useless. It looks like it's unable to fetch data in background (yes, background data is enabled in Android) so after the buffer is consumed, the audio feed stops. Opening the app again would resume the playback.
