2/5Faulty
Articles are incomplete; nearly each article requires a separate login. I was forced from UK app to this “global” app but it is unfinished and unusable.

1/5Can’t stay logged in
Unfortunately, this app does not work on iOS. The app logs me out each time I try to open an article. Very disappointing. Not getting the basics of an app right is rather embarrassing for a company of this stature, and to be honest, there are so many sources of news out there that I just can’t be bothered contacting them for a fix to the issue. I’ll read Reuters or the WSJ. Passing on The Times and already contacted The Times to cancel my subscription.

1/5Unusable
Like other reviewers, I also was forced onto this new ‘global app’ and similarly, I have to login for every article I read (and only a part of the article appears). When I contacted support, it appears my subscription has mysteriously been ‘cancelled’ Which I certainly didn’t do and Apple still shows it as an active subscription. All in all this feels Like some pretty sketchy behavior.

1/5Too manny annoying full screen ads
Awful app as there are too many full screen ads which stops you from reading articles even though I’m paying a monthly subscription.

VietB · 31 Jul 2026
1/5Terrible update
The ap has become unusably glitchy at times. Requires endless log ins. Very hit and miss (usually “miss”) functioning of the comments below articles. Strange links that are obviously wrong. Is Rupert Murdoch saving money by going cheap, or relying on Ai, with its software engineers?!

You're charging a £20 subscription for smartphone only access and your app that does not work and constantly crashes. Absolutely abysmal service but also illegal.

1/5
As a long-term Times subscriber & app user, it now annoys me. Comments do not load correctly, you see a name without any text, spend time scrolling up & down and the text finally appears. More annoyingly, replies often appear below the wrong comment. Wait a few minutes, because we have nothing better to do, & the replies suddenly change to ones relevant to the original comment. I have deleted my own replies more than once thinking I have replied to the wrong post. App 12.4.0, Pixel, Android 17

3/5
good points: good content and able to read much offline once downloaded bad point: for the last few months the app has been way too slow to load, both initially and then when navigating between stories and sections.

Morgan Powell · 29 Jul 2026
2/5
App is so slow to load now even with fast broadband and WiFi. Badly needs optimising. And it drains the battery faster than any other app.

Don Bu · 29 Jul 2026
1/5
Same as all the other reviewers - slow loading, logs me out suddenly etc. Now the additional annoyance from the developers who read these reviews - endless requests for info about my phone and whether the app is up to date etc. but never any subsequent improvement. Get a grip and just improve the app please!
