2025-editing this review. I can't believe I maintain a paid subscription for this junk. It barely works. As the papercopy often doesn't arrive I rely on the digital on the weekend. It still barly works. doesn't download or crashes. Terrible. 2023- You wouldn't have thought it would be hard to update a digital version of a relatively small weekly paper... it's a copy and paste job right? I am amazed by the errors, this app manages.

The app works to a point but subscriptions taken via the app are not honoured on the webpage and customer services will not help. The news summaries could use more detail and are very selective in what they bother to include. They only include the biggest deadlines that it's impossible to miss anyway. I won't be renewing.

Updated June 24 - unbelievably, this app has got even worse. 90% of the time I can't even open an issue, tapping on it does nothing at all. I love the content but the app is beyond frustrating. Time to stop subscribing. Since the fix a few years ago this has been fine, but now it has started freezing constantly and a random page won't scroll and then the whole thing freezes up. Closing and reopening rarely helps. I end up paying for something I can only read part of.
