Ratings and reviews

LRB app is a great way to read the magazine on the go - usefully keeps your place in articles between reads,and has an effective search of the archive.

Twice this year it's told me I don't have access despite having an active subscription (days gone by and still no reply to the help request this second time). The search function is also useless.

Great magazine but terrible app. Very poor functionality on the London underground. Issues I have downloaded randomly disappear and I have to redownload them (not easy in the tube). Pages in issues I have previously downloaded disappear. Sometimes the app gets stuck on the splash screen and won't budge (I have to block mobile data and try again). And of course it doesn't remember where you got up to in an article. Needs more work and testing, a terrible waste currently.
