Not the best. The app hadn't updated content for weeks, despite me having a valid digital subscription. In desperation, I uninstalled and downloaded the app again, to find a shiny new version. Now it tells me that I do have an account, but not a valid digital subscription (the website says otherwise). A help request suggested clearing my cache, which didn't help, I think I'll be cancelling my subscription.

Useless, couldn't log in despite having a subscription which lets me into the web version without problem, using same credentials. Will uninstall. Update - The National responded to my comment saying that if I have a Digital Subscription access should be no problems. Unfortunately no mention is made of this in the supporting info on play store. I only have an online subscription, which I believed was digital enough to get the App going. Clearly not.

Despite my having used the app successfully for many months, it has suddenly decided that I don't have a subscription (I do) and won't let me in. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, to no avail. I continue to get normal access on my laptop 🥴
