Easy to navigate and use, but has poor pixel/resolution feel on the newspaper itself. When zooming in, it feels like a sub-300dpi scan (for the techie folks) and nowhere near as clear as Metro when zooming in to read small font. I still buy the physical paper sometimes as it's easier on the eyes. If the resolution is fixed then I'd definitely give it 5*, but it currently ruins the experience.

I have 2 issues with the online version. When you decide to subscribe you are presented with weekly, monthly and annual options but with no prices. Tap on one to see the price and - boom - you are committed. There should be a price confirmation stage. Secondly if you are even slightly zoomed in you can't change to the next page, you have to move out which is frustrating and unnecessary. Also I think an archive search should be created to discover old articles.

Works well except that they don't edit the paper for the digital environment. Double page spreads are fine for print but in the app pictures and graphics are split across pages, the latter often well nigh unreadable. Oh, and why is jigsawdoku not available as a digital puzzle like the others?

I like having the news on this app but like the Indy website the SW dev is very poor. This app has suddenly decided to crash and continually keep stopping when launching. Poor 1 star.

Needs work. I also get a paper copy so the clunky app layout doesn't really bother me, though it's just like zooming in or out on a photo. Doesn't even work like a Kindle app. My gripe is the interactive puzzles link at the top of the home page disappears regularly. It's no good saying just open the relevant page in the download, because all you can do is look at the puzzles, you can't actually work on them. This maybe a small thing, but if it doesn't work, it might as well not be there.

Really enjoyed the app. A few days ago I started receiving payment declined messages. Using different credit cards as suggested in the Google fix got the same payment declined message. I customer service and Google couldn't resolve the issue. I decided to cancel the subscription and try again. I discovered that a monthly subscription payment had to be made by direct debit and not by credit card. If I had been informed of this change it would have saved much time and frustration for me and Google
