App: Top Navigation in the my account section isn't working which makes it impossible to see billig date and cancel subscription. Also can't share the account which is a feature you pay for. Service: No emails about your membership so if you can't track on the app you have no way to see when your cancellation deadline is. Support was unfriendly, made me repeat over and over what isn't working in the app and offered no flexibility whatsoever to cancel and get a refund because of issues experienc

1. I get a "Unable to load today's edition" error near constantly making the app unusable. 2. When I do manage to load a story, the font is stuck in a serif based font. This is a massive no-no from an accessibility point of view and there appears no obvious way to change it to something more readable. (also the case on the Times website) . I won't pay for a subscription that is uncomfortable to read when other news channels use accessible fonts for no charge at all. Rubbish app

All of a sudden the Times Live app just says "Login Failed" on one of our mobiles when we try to use it - we have temporarily circumvented the problem by accessing via Chrome, but not ideal! Any ideas? We have tried deleting the app and reinstalling it, also switching off the mobile - neither solutions work. Any suggestions? Also, the app has started using much more data than usual this month. I regularly have to delete data and cache as all issues are held on the mobile storage - not ideal!
