The Times Of London For Ipad App Reviews

Really works smoothly and is user friendly

Today’s update has made app unusable. Will not open up sections of paper.

Have been using this app for several years. It suddenly stopped working and despite reloading app it still won’t load any content. I have been in touch with The Times support and all they advise is - we are aware of an issue with a recent update please reload the app this will sort the problem. It doesn’t. So after several years have cancelled my subscription.

I enjoy the Times news and reports as a trusted source of information. The app works very well

Over the years I have used this app and when it works it is very good but it often breaks down on Sunday’s it’s as if there is too much information for the app to handle with the multitudes of sections the day of the week brings. Shame

Have been a Subscriber through the App for years. Suddenly the App stopped working so deleted App and tried to reinstall, but now it is impossible to reinstall. Keep getting a bogus message about my Internet speed.

Six bucks a month for this great paper!

This is the one place I always come back to. The London Times. A very happy customer.

The app works seamlessly and the paper is easy to read, saving and sharing articles is fast and easy. The format is clear the breakdown of the sections is exactly like the real paper. I read the London Times daily (one of 6 papers I download every morning to read on my commute to NYC) and find it very well written, informative, entertaining and well balanced. They have some of the best interviews and profiles of any paper I read.

Why can’t the articles saved to PDF remain intact?! You lose lines above and below the page break. Tried saving to that format, mailing them to myself — everything I can think of and still lose content.

I have used the London times did it all app for many years. It has completely stopped working and I am not able to restore it. I have contacted Apple support and we spent over an hour on the phone making sure my iPad was properly configured. Still we could not download the newspaper from the app. We then went to the London Times contact site and sent a message to London Times support. London Times has never responded. So, after at least 8 years of reading the London Times everyday, I reluctantly asked Apple to cancel my subscription and refund my money. It is incredible how incompetent the London Times is. I ran a company in the UK for many years. If I had run my company like the London Times runs Grier business, I would have been fired and the company would have been bankrupt.

Can’t do without the The Times App. Fast download and great content. Crashes occasionally but is frequent enough not to cause an issue. Use it every day of the week.

Excellent journalism and outstanding writing. You know it's good writing when you enjoy reading it even if you strongly disagree with the writer's premise. App works well the vast majority of the time. I subscribe directly through the Times, not iTunes.

It is a joy to read the Times and the app is extremely easy to use. What I like is that it allows me to stay in touch with events in the UK as well as provides relatively unbiased international reporting. It remains a leading news source even in today’s fake news environment on the internet.

I would like if you could add Bluetooth/smart keyboard support to the app so I could use the arrows on my keyboard to flip the pages. This would be handy when reading at the desk or cafe. In a previous review I suggested adding a mechanism for in-app subscribers to access the website and iPhone apps. This was added shortly after my review and works wonderfully! The Times is the best paper anywhere and I can’t think of a better way to spend $6 a month. The news, political, sport, and cultural coverage it outstanding. I really enjoy the soccer coverage from Henry Winter and co. There is no better way to start the day than with a cup of hot coffee and a fresh edition of The Times!

I am reading the Times while my colleague reads The Telegraph. He was predicting britons to vote for Brexit in June 2016 as I was ridiculing him on the basis what the Times was reporting. The rest you know.

I love great newspapers and also read the N.Y. Times and WAPO every day. The Times Of London completes the view I need. Great journalism needs to be supported and nurtured. The consequences can be dire...i.e. the political dysfunction we’re seeing in many parts of the world.The iPad application is great too. Regards, Brian, Southampton, Bermuda

They have streamlined news access. It is a joy to use. Features like asking about downloads and allowing deletion of old issues, while not new are readily seen and used. Downloaded puzzle pages can be saved for use on your ipad or print to take with you. They have thought through what parts of the app they can make user friendly. Content does not overly favor the slant you see too much of stateside-just the news. Journalism is about reporting, not bias. Idealistic and perhaps, naive, yes, probably. Thank you!

Bought subscription by app in iTunes. Won’t give me content or any articles at all. Waste of money.

I enjoy reading the paper and I subscribe to the paper through iTunes in-app subscriptions. However, when clicking on articles in the app that open to a webpage (County Cricket round up for example) I can’t access those articles more than 2 a month. There should be a way to access these articles for users who subscribe via in-app purchase.

I have been charged for weekly subscription but the app keeps saying I have not paid. Pretty poor

Persistent problems renewing my subscription. It says I’ve paid for it then can’t download. As good as it is - not worth the frustration.

What have you done to the Times? The typeface is huge even at its smallest. It no longer looks like a newspaper on a screen, it looks like something you read in an internet browser. Give me back the old format.

The greatest strength of The a times is is brevity particularly when compared to The NY Times. I can whistle though the app and get caught up on all important news items with the flick of the wrist. App sometimes crashes lately but I'm sure it will get sorted.

App is working well. Occasional subscription issues, but each time I contact Times they are right back with an answer. Maybe iTunes fault not Times.

I have never had such an amazing experience reading an online version of a newspaper

I been the times for 8 years or so. It is the best it keep improving with each passing year. I could not recommend it enough everyone should have this digital paper.

I have more problems with this APP than all my others combined. Every time they do an update, you know you won't be able to get the paper afterwards. There have been bugs in this software for literally years. The paper is awesome and the columnists are world-class - otherwise I suspect everyone would give up on them!

Love reading the newspaper! World class writing and in-depth reporting.

All the pleasures of the printed paper without the dead trees. I wouldn't be without it!

I've used been a Times e-paper subscriber for a number of years and seen it evolve over the years to a mature platform that is easy to navigate, share and save articles. I subscribe to a number of e-paper platforms and The Times currently has the best usability.

When people ask "where I am from", I tell them that I "grew up" in Bovingdon Herts. So, from the "Colonies" where I now live I love reading the Times to keep in touch with the country I love AND for balanced, in depth stories. THANK YOU

As a traveling American, I view The Times as providing consistently substantive news and commentaries, that best reflect the thoughts and trends of the UK society. This app has been a welcome addition to my desktop and other Apple utensils. Especially, when I want to prioritize what is “really” happening in the world.

Being able to read the Times whilst living in the U.S is fabulous. It's well worth the subscription money but does take a bit of getting used to, it's not that user friendly, especially for my mum, in her 70's and only just bought herself an iPad. But, all in all, I cherish this app!

The app will no longer download content. Will be calling to ask for for my subscription fees back.

I have been a digital subscriber of The Times since the first. It has been wonderful to see the evolution of the digital format to the great platform it is today! A industry standard so far as I am concerned. A mark for others to reach.

Great

What is going on? I can't see the content I'm paying for. It keeps telling me I need to subscribe but even when I tried to subscribe again it fails. This has been going on for over a week now. How do they not have it resolved?

The greatest newspaper, the best writing, stunning graphics, smooth operation and an unmatched experience!

I live in the US and, after the NY TIMES I turn immediately to THE TIMES for my U.K. and world news. The journalism is excellent, the graphics first class and the delivery unfailingly good.

Been very poor for last two weeks. Downloaded update today hoping it would solve problem instead just frozen on Wednesday edition and won't let me do anything. Will be cancelling

The Times is without question one of the finest journalistic experiences

UK expat: I read it every morning. It's been a wonderfully laid out app for years; the content is voluminous, and it's beautifully accessible via the cleverly done index; far more, say, than the Washington Post.

Very bad, very sad. Have left and gone to The Telegraph. Really upset - this used to be the best and now it is the worst. So sorry. Please test before you launch something like this.

One of my most trusted sources of news. Superb writing and excellent photos. Great sports section too.

Fantastic content. Updated and rich content makes it worth paying for.

I purchased a $19.99 subscription (one month). It worked for about 5 days then it stopped working. I checked by Newsstand App subscriptions, which shows that my subscription is “ACTIVE” and will expire on June 5 (when it will renew). Well, it is only May 10, and I have no access to the London Times. Why? I don’t know. There is no way to get help to fix this. So, my subscription trickles away and I am out 25 days on a 30 day subscription. (Anytime I launch the Times app from Newsstand, I am told that I do not have a subscription. Yet, my account info, from where I manage my subscription, says I do).

Complicated subscription. Just shuts down when it expires without warning. Constantly shuts down while running when are they going to get this right…….

I often share the articles, love Peter Brookes and Morton Morland. It would be great to link the Red Box to the online app too.

terrific app and can scroll easily while the categories are not a "secret" either. straightfwd app which nicely integrates the newspaper attributes via digital without stripping out the former. i do very much miss the separate Sports app which i could access daily. 😢

You won't get your hands d**** and you'll get all the contents of the paper edition and much more. Despite some glitches it usually downloads relatively fast and smoothly. Moreover available 24/7.

Wouldn't give it one star, if possible ... latest version blocks access, requiring update; app store indicates latest version installed, but hitting 'open' returns to demand for an update. The Times charges enough for their content (which they then fail to deliver) ... someone needs to hire professionals for app development rather than trying to save a few pounds by employing amateurs. Could someone at Apple please intervene on behalf of their customers?

Can not access editions. Have been a long time subscriber, but am about to part ways. The subscription is expensive and should not be having these issues.

The iTunes app is not recognized by the times app, for 2 months I have paid a monthly subscription and the times app still says I have no valid subscription. This is fraudulent representation by both apple and the times with no means if gaining a refund or compensation. I expected better of both organizations

i'm still not happy I have to download everything but the response to this is gotten much better and overall this app is much better than it was years ago ago

I love The Times and all the editions. I live in America and wish I lived in England. Apparently. The app is superb. I recommend it.

The very worst app on my iPad. Very unreliable service. Terrible.

Very clever App that opens up access to the paper.

For more than a week now, the issue will not download. Very disappointing. Will be cancelling.

Latest release (Dec 20) won't load any content. @TheTimes - don't set up a paywall and sell content/app if you don't know how to QA your apps. Once you find out a release has failed - roll it back, don't leave it out there. Terrible technology management.

This is the worst app in the world, for the best newspaper in the world.....how sad that no one can resolve all these issues!

The app is updated to latest version, but for months it WILL NOT DOWNLOAD NEW EDITIONS. The Times have no useful way to help, and Apple don't seem to care either. WHAT A COMPLETE LOAD OF GARBAGE!!

Really like The Times - read it every day - Like the supplements too on Fri/Sat/Sun. BUT, I wish I could watch the sport videos - I can't as not in UK.. Really frustrating!!

Easy to use and nicely laid out

The video clips and the chess column no longer function interactively I subscribe to both the daily and the Sunday editions and have informed the times of this situation but have not received a reply

The Times is the best designed and efficiently written paper produced today.

Thanks for providing insights into world news that is unique for this USA reader. I enjoy the entertainment news and the comments too. The Times of London allows for critical thinking as politicians take actions that will impact our daily lives.
