  1. 1/5Can no longer access my subscription

    After the recent update I can no longer login to my subscription. If I look on Apple, subscriptions, my subscription is valid thought April 9 and renews monthly. I also received a message that my subscription ended on as of today. So much for improving the app.

  2. 1/5Same lousy app but with ads now

    Another step backwards. The new app doesn’t improve on the (bad) old one, but now rams ads down your throat in the middle of each article practically. This is how you lose paying customers …

  3. 1/5Can’t login with my subscription

    One of the worst reliable apps I,ve used. Glitches and it tells me I have no subscription when I’ve paid.

  • 7.0.5

    Following extensive user research, we have decided to completely rebuild the app in order to provide a more stable and maintainable product, long term. We’ve replicated the old app as closely as possible so you can continue to enjoy our award-winning journalism in the way you want to; curated editions that you can carry with you. We've also made improvements so the app is quicker, less likely to crash and includes additional images and video content within the articles. It’s the Classic app you love, now built to last.

  • 7.0.7

    This update contains various fixes and enhancements to improve your experience including: - A fix to the 'Editions' ribbon so editions are only ungreyed when fully downloaded to your device and hence available offline - Added a note to the 'My Articles' ribbon to clarify you need to be logged in to sync your articles - Amended the double tap zoom accessibility feature so it also works consistently on the Top Stores navigation pages (and can double tap to zoom back out) Our next update will include: - An update to give you the option to optimise our images to speed up edition download Thank you for subscribing and please contact us at [email protected] if you need assistance or have any feedback on our updated Classic app.

  • 7.2.0

    This update contains various fixes and enhancements to improve your experience including: - We have fixed a bug which required some users to log in to the app every day. - We have now added an option to disable high resolution images and revert to standard resolution images. This can be found under Settings>Data Management and is especially useful on older or less powerful devices as it will speed up edition download and minimise storage. Thank you for subscribing and please contact us at [email protected] if you need assistance or have any feedback on the updated Classic app.

  • 7.2.1

    This update contains various fixes and enhancements to improve your experience including: - We have added additional monitoring to help resolve the frequent log in issues some users have reported - We have resolved some issues with missing images when offline - We have fixed a number of crashes The next major improvement will be adding support for Background Refresh. This allows the app to download the edition early in the morning (assuming it has enough battery and connectivity) and means the edition will already be downloaded when you foreground the app first thing each day. We are hoping to have this available in the next couple of weeks so please bear with us while we work on this. Thank you for subscribing and please contact us at [email protected] if you need assistance or have any feedback on the updated Classic app.

  • 7.2.2

    This update contains various fixes and enhancements to improve your experience including: - Added a new setting to manage the double-tap zoom feature. This can be found under the 'Text size' setting and is now disabled by default. - Increased the size and tappable area for the close button in image carousel. The next major improvement will be adding support for Background Refresh. This allows the app to download the edition early in the morning (assuming it has enough battery and connectivity) and means the edition will already be downloaded when you foreground the app first thing each day. We are hoping to have this available next week so please bear with us while we work on this. We are also working on the frequent login issue some users are experiencing and should have a resolution next week.
