Tried/still trying to put my subscription on my new iPad so I can use that instead of my phone. Support has offered no help other than cut and paste 3 second message that tells me to go figure it out. I once had T3, same nonsense. Future publishing, can you please bring your software updated to modern times, not year 2000? 😞

Absolutely the worst app I have ever used on my phone, and I include Cheetah. The settings page is a joke. There is no Android phone friendly magazine edition. The daily edition seems to be curated by someone whose last job was hidden away in the basement of the British museum. I'm going to try the UK app in the hopes that it's a little better but I have my doubts.

Updated June 24 - unbelievably, this app has got even worse. 90% of the time I can't even open an issue, tapping on it does nothing at all. I love the content but the app is beyond frustrating. Time to stop subscribing. Since the fix a few years ago this has been fine, but now it has started freezing constantly and a random page won't scroll and then the whole thing freezes up. Closing and reopening rarely helps. I end up paying for something I can only read part of.
