While understandable that the42 went behind a paywall. However, there is a need to give it some criticism too; what annoys us - the readers - is that some articles would be published by agencies such as AP (that very same content can be viewed for free on their website!) and others. It's also a pity they removed the live score centre which was very handy.

Much too expensive now unfortunately. More than happy to go elsewhere. If you're looking for a good scores app, for the football at least, use fotmob.

Podcasts keep playing from paused if I'm trying to record a WhatsApp voice note - the only app that does this. Obviously rarely crops up, but annoying when it does

Only opens if cache is cleared
