Missing Kicker Panel

On my iPad only the first 3 build up panels show - the fourth one with a kick in it never appears
HHarris3005

On my iPad Pro 12.9 only the first three panes can be seen.

Is the missing final frame systematic, an incitement to pay extra or subscribe to the telegraph?

Doesn’t auto-update

I agree with other comments about it not updating on my iPhone 10. Occasionally I need to delete the app and reinstall. Would be great if it automatically updated, like all my other apps!

Bug

Keep On getting an error message when I Load the app.

Bug

Cartoons are no longer updating in App

Bug

Stuck on same cartoon for almost a month

Bug

It's currently not updating beyond 28th Sep 2021.

Bug

The cartoons on the app are weeks behind the actual paper

Bug

Hasn’t added a new strip for almost three weeks.

Bug

This app no longer works

Bug

The app did exactly what I expected, delivered the cartoon, until about 10 days back when it stopped grabbing the latest cartoon and shows the same one over and over

Bug

Last strip posted was 28th September…and app reports “Error” every time it is opened.

Bug

Seems to have stopped updating. No new strips for over 2 weeks now.

Bug

Works on iPhone but for months now it will not work on iPad!

Bug

Since the upgrade, I have only been able to view the first three slides, the final slide with the punchline is missing.

Bug

Always displaying error messages and not showing full strip in one panel

Bug

Only 3 out of 4 panes showing on iPad

Bug

4th panel is missing on each days comic now

Bug

No longer shows all 4 frames in iOS 14.4; always missing the punchline.

Bug

Used to get all 4 of the pics. Now I can only get three.

Bug

Only screens 1 to 3 are displaying - please fix

Bug

App has suddenly started only showing the first three panels. instead of four.

Bug

Frame missing

Bug

Latest update seems to have gone wrong. Only displays first 3 frames.

Bug

Since upgrading to the new operating system, it will only show three of the screens per day. This is useless, unless you can suggest how I can see the last picture with the punchline.

Bug

iPad Air , now doesn’t show 4th panel

Bug

the app screen is super stretched and difficult to read after apple update

Bug

The app does not work under iOS 14.4, please fix it.

Bug

Excellent cartoon but it appears to have been stretched and no longer fit my screen. IPHONE XR.

Bug

The aspect ratio seems to have been broken by a recent iOS update. But as the app hasn’t been updated for 2 years perhaps it’s not going to be fixed.

Bug

The app now shows a distorted and elongated image since updating to 14.4.

Bug

Since upgrading to iOS 14.4 the app seems to be assuming a much taller screen that possessed by my iPhone SE 2020 so the cartoon frames are stretched vertically. You can scroll down to scan the whole image but not get to the three buttons normally at the bottom because they’re hidden behind it.

Bug

Since the latest “update” I can’t open the app, it just informs me there is a date format error. Please sort it as I miss my daily dose of Alex!

Bug

The app has stopped working for the past week or so....some date challenge.

Bug

Cartoon now officially 48 hours behind...

Bug

Love the cartoon but has it stalled ?
