Leave a Review The Scotsman Newspaper
Great but with a major flow
The app and subscription is generally great. I love that you can access both digits articles and e-paper (‘scan’ of the each issue). I prefer to read the e-paper. However; the major flow is that the e-paper is tiny and very exhausting for eyes when you read it on a smartphone. It’d be great if there was a desktop version of the app to be able to read it on a laptop screen. Another problem is that often you exit the app it resets and you need to find the page you were on again.Show lessada2848sjfbd'!!
Developer Response
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you find the app and subscription generally great. Regarding your concerns about the e-paper being tiny and straining for your eyes on a smartphone, we understand the inconvenience. While we currently don't have a desktop version of the app, you can access the digital newspaper on both desktop and tablet by visiting The Scotsman website and navigating to the e-paper section. This should provide a more comfortable reading experience on larger screens. Additionally, to address the issue of the app resetting when you exit it, you can save articles to "My Library" before closing the app. This way, you can easily find and resume reading from where you left off without having to navigate back to the page manually. We hope these solutions improve your experience with our app. If you have any further questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out.Disappointing to not always be able to see newspaper
I have been frequently disappointed recently at being unable to view the newspaper format even at 8am. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. No joy. Eventually appears much later in the day.
I also find the splitting of the letters pages and the moving of obituaries very annoying.murpheurph
New format.
Looks brighter now with increased use of colour. Layout seems to work - apart from letters page which, having read the first page, one has to hunt through the paper to find the remainder of the letter one was reading. Surely it could be brought forward a page and given double spread pages, as before. Wouldn’t impact on the rest of the layout.Show lessMarjoryJL

Is truely rubbish. You need to continually resign in. The letters you subscribe too such as art and culture do not open without password and then they are littered with adverts despite paying a subscription.
No links are interactive when reading articles. Perhaps they should look at the times digital. They have it so right.Show lesspoppyraj
New format
This new format is so frustrating. Please go back to the last one. It was so easy to use. One could find a page easily without flicking pages one by one. Seriously, progress is not being made.
Hate the new start too. Moving circles !!! Why do we need to change things which work.Quine !
App not working day 2

Not designed for phone medium
I had to buy this to experience it. It’s like a photocopy of hard copy newspaper so very difficult to read. Not user friendly as per other national digital newspapers in which you see headlines and can click on content in easy to read format easily scrollable and easy to navigate between well organized articles.
I am also incensed that despite cancelling within 5 minutes of accessing it, I had to pay for a month’s use that I won’t be using. I feel angry and conned.Show lessRona1403

Difficult to read on mobile
Formatting and layout difficult to read and confusing. Not worth the effortJanetSeguinTX
A Great Newspaper
I started with the Scotsman years ago because of its superb cultural section particularly book reviews. Now I like the range of coverage from Scotland to the U.K. to the EU all in one paper. This is a top flight paper and their subscription rates are far better than the competition.BruceinLoudoun
