EDIT: Whilst my initial impression is still sound, I HAVE found myself drawn more and more to the app, above Apple News+ so it gains a couple of stars. The app generally works well and itâs nice to flick through current news in a decent order. The only bug Iâve found is that is only downloads text for offline viewing - highly annoying. I download todayâs version to read on the train, but when I do the article pictures only show a grey holding image. This could be a game changer for some people. -Re-subscribed to see if I could get a version that was better than that provided through Apple News+ and the answer is... no. I remember loving the old versionâs layout - no constant scrolling, but apart from the puzzles this gives me nothing I canât get elsewhere. So for £25 a month I get the same experience, and the same article layout, that I do for £9.99. With adverts. I subscribe to other digital edition newspapers, and expected the same level of premium experience. If you pay to unlock a service, that service is paid for by my subscription - not revenue from my subscription AND revenue from animated adverts, personalised through cookies. At present, I canât see myself renewing as I canât see the value in paying to access an app for £25, when I can read the same articles, formatted in exactly the same way, with the same amount of scrolling and adverts, that I can get for £9.99. Access to Times+ and puzzles is just not enough.
Good but with faults

For browsing articles, I found the app slick and professional looking, with easy to navigate sections. The content and features included is of a high standard However, a big flaw is that the comments fail to load on my iPad. It says try again in a few minutes but two days, and a reinstall later, the problem persists. Also, the signup screen mentioned a discounted subscription price for a couple of months but on signing up I was immediately charged the full price. Perhaps i missed some explanation why the discount doesnât apply in my case, but something to be aware of if signing up via the app.Edit (22/12): I managed to get the comments section to display. In the âMy Accountâ page in the app, the Name and Screen Name details were blank and the app wouldnât let me edit them without saying something went wrong. However there was another prompt on the page to update my details (sadly I canât remember what it was listed as). That took me to a page to enter four fields: First and Last Names, email address and screen nameâ¦.after doing so, the comments sections started to open without issue. Hope that helps others having the issue.

Good afternoon, we are pleased to hear that you are enjoying the new display of the Times application and find it easy to navigate. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the comment section loading. We are not aware of any current issue with this feature at the moment. We would advise to check the correct application has been installed 'black box with white T icon' and that the device software is upto date. In regards to your billing, we are unsure what discount was displayed to you at the time of subscribing, however we would be more than happy to discuss this further with you and rectify the issue. Please contact us on '0800 018 5177'.We do hope that you have a pleasant day, many thanks.
A retrograde step! Our choice has been reduced. Itâs now one or the other.

I smell a rat! How convenient that when my payment card expired at the end of March, there seemed to be a problem with my subscription and it did not renew. This despite having updated my details in the Apple wallet, and there being no issue with my other subscriptions.My subscription then mysteriously renewed a day late even though I had done nothing further to update my details. Upon renewal I then found that I was denied access to the Live app, but continued to have access to the Classic and e-paper apps. My Live app then updated to the latest edition and I was still unable to access it, although I was able to access the print edition which is now also contained within the new Live app. I am extremely unimpressed with this situation and I have cancelled my subscription of several years standing, which is now due to expire on 2nd May.I have been told to contact Apple for an explanation as to why I can no longer use their Live app, together with the Classic app and the e-paper app. Although I can access the Printed Edition via the Live app. I have a strong suspicion that the days of the Classic app may well be numbered now that the Print Edition has been made available within the updated Live app. Itâs not for me anymore. Iâm out. Subscription cancelled!
Developer Response
Thank you for leaving your feedback - unfortunately, we only have access to direct subscriptions via our Customer Service Team and do not accept Apple Pay for payments directly with us, which does suggest your subscription is with Apple and so is managed by them. Please rest assured, there are currently no plans to retire the Classic or Puzzles app, or even the E-Paper, which has been integrated into the Live App.
Absolute rubbish
harry 589
Instead of side swiping through the pages with the odd full page add which could be swiped through quickly the experience is now awful, side swiping then scrolling down through the article which is littered with advertisements which are always in view when reading the article just the same as free news feeds. We always enjoyed doing the sudokuâs on the old app, but now the way of entering the numbers have been completely reversed making it physically difficult, why ? We have tried to use this new app but have now deleted it and reverted back to the old app. When the old app stops working we will be cancelling our subscription. Is this a case of change for change sake to justify jobs ? and as a subscriber I donât expect to be bombarded with advertising. Not very impressedUpdate after developers response:I have re-download the new app, looked at the e-Paper reading option again not a pleasant reading experience lots of finger pinching to zoom in and out to read articles. Same as free newspapers I get on my Readly app (the independent, the guardian, observer etc)The issue I have with doing the sudokuâs isnât related to my iPad software version.From the response it looks like my issues arenât going to be addressed and the old classic app will be going, as my subscription will be.

Hello Harry. I am sorry to hear you've not enjoyed your reading experience via the new Times app. If you would prefer a swiping motion to navigate around the content, you can check out the ePaper by tapping 'More' in the lower-right corner of the app which will provide an ePaper option in the menu on the next screen. We would like to have a look into the issues you're experiencing with the puzzle section, please contact us on apphelp@thetimes.co.uk and provide your device make/model, iOS version and current app version. Many Thanks.
This update also features performance enhancements, bug fixes, and updates to the design of the app.
