Ratings and reviews

Essential reading for it's unique insights, depth of analysis, and breadth of content in politics and the arts. Worth ditching all your other subscriptions for!

Great magazine but terrible app. 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.

A nice simple basic app, but a bit too basic. As others have said it really should remember where you had previously read to in an article. I would also like some more accessibility options, as well as changing the text size I'd like to change the text colour, or at least select a night viewing mode with light text in a black background. In fact on that point this app is not as good as a simple Hermit Lite app pointing at tge LRB website.
