Occasionally I need to delete the app and reinstall. Would be great if it automatically updated, like all my other apps! ### 4/5 — Cartoons are no longer updating in App *2021-10-23, version 3.0.0* Last cartoon available through app is Sept 28th 2021. I know that The UK Govt of which Alex is an important member has a policy of ‘Lets do nothing and see what happens!’ but I am disappointed to see him follow suit quite so enthusiastically. Is there something the British Public is not being told? We need Alex to make a statement in the Commons. ### 2/5 — Stuck on same cartoon for almost a month *2021-10-22, version 3.0.0* Tried uninstalling and reinstalling on both iPhone 11 and iPad Mini 4. The cartoons are funny and entertaining…but this is clearly a development issue. The website updates … why doesn’t the App? When it works, this is a simple app worth 4 or 5 stars. But it is actually pointless loading it at the moment. ### 4/5 — It's worth 5 stars for the content, however... *2021-10-20, version 3.0.0* It's currently not updating beyond 28th Sep 2021. Not sure if there's a problem or the App is being phased out 🤷‍♂️. It also usually has a message 'Error' when opened, which you have to OK through 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ ### 4/5 — All great until… *2021-10-14, version 3.0.0* 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 ### 2/5 — No strips posting *2021-10-13, version 3.0.0* Last strip posted was 28th September…and app reports “Error” every time it is opened.🤷🏻‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Rubbish app *2021-03-19, version 3.0.0* Always displaying error messages and not showing full strip in one panel ### 2/5 — Only 3 out of 4 panes showing on iPad *2021-03-15, version 3.0.0* .....but works fine on iPhone. ### 3/5 — Only 3 Panels since update *2021-03-13, version 3.0.0* 4th panel is missing on each days comic now ### 3/5 — Great cartoon, pity about the App *2021-03-05, version 3.0.0* No longer shows all 4 frames in iOS 14.4; always missing the punchline. Surely someone QAed this before release? ### 2/5 — What happened? *2021-02-26, version 3.0.0* Used to get all 4 of the pics. Now I can only get three. No a lot of fun. ### 3/5 — Only screens 1 to 3 are displaying - please fix *2021-02-25, version 3.0.0* As stated ### 1/5 — Hopeless *2021-02-23, version 3.0.0* App has suddenly started only showing the first three panels. instead of four. The app support link just takes you to the app so no way to get a message to the developer. After years of use will now have to uninstall. ### 1/5 — Frame missing *2021-02-22, version 3.0.0* +1 on the final frame missing. ### 1/5 — Missing frames *2021-02-19, version 3.0.0* Latest update seems to have gone wrong. Only displays first 3 frames. ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-02-19, version 3.0.0* 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. ### 1/5 — iPad Air , now doesn’t show 4th panel *2021-02-13, version 3.0.0* The stretchiness was ok, but no 4th panel punchline is not ok ### 2/5 — iOS 14.4 *2021-02-09, version 2.2.2* The app does not work under iOS 14.4, please fix it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Missing Kicker Panel *2023-07-30, version 3.0.0* On my iPad only the first 3 build up panels show - the fourth one with a kick in it never appears ### 1/5 — On my iPad Pro 12.9 only the first three panes can be seen. *2022-06-10, version 3.0.0* Is the missing final frame systematic, an incitement to pay extra or subscribe to the telegraph? ### 1/5 — Fails to show last panel of each strip *2021-12-27, version 3.0.0* Fails to show the final panel of each days strip ### 1/5 — Error *2021-10-24, version 3.0.0* Keep On getting an error message when I Load the app. ### 1/5 — Behind! *2021-10-20, version 3.0.0* The cartoons on the app are weeks behind the actual paper, what’s going on ? ### 1/5 — Gone wrong? *2021-10-19, version 3.0.0* Hasn’t added a new strip for almost three weeks. I am wondering if the app has stopped being supported. When it is operational daily updates are sporadic and it is difficult to swipe through the various screens ### 1/5 — This app no longer works *2021-10-17* It only shows the cartoons up to 28 sept. Don’t bother ### 1/5 — Stopped working? *2021-10-10, version 3.0.0* Seems to have stopped updating. No new strips for over 2 weeks now. ### 1/5 — Useless on iPad *2021-06-11, version 3.0.0* Works on iPhone but for months now it will not work on iPad! ### 1/5 — Only three slides visible *2021-03-26, version 3.0.0* Since the upgrade, I have only been able to view the first three slides, the final slide with the punchline is missing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Screen issue *2021-02-09, version 2.2.2* Love Alex been reading for years - however the app screen is super stretched and difficult to read after apple update ### 5/5 — Doesn’t fit any more. *2021-02-08, version 2.2.2* Excellent cartoon but it appears to have been stretched and no longer fit my screen. IPHONE XR. ### 5/5 — Love the cartoon but has it stalled ? *2019-09-02, version 2.2.2* Hello, guessing that Alex is back from holiday but app has stuck on Wednesday. Hope this is only temporary, as I really enjoy the strip and how it’s rendered in this app. ### 5/5 — ALEX APPreciation *2018-09-11, version 2.2.2* It’s great that I can now receive the daily adventures of Alex without waiting for my secretary to put the Telegraph on my desk. A great innovation and simple design at its best. ### 5/5 — If only..... *2018-09-04, version 2.2.2* If only the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Governor of the Bank of England understood the opaque world of the City half as well as Alex does, we'd all be saved..... ### 5/5 — Insightful *2018-09-03, version 2.2.2* Alex has been chronicling the City for more than 7,000 episodes and has gently teased out the ironies and inconsistencies of City life. This app is a must have. ### 5/5 — Alex App *2018-09-03, version 2.2.2* Nick the PR Man writes: Alex has been a key part of City life since the 80s and he just gets better and better. Like me! Charles and Russell are bona fide geniuses. Which is why I’m in there along with Dominic McGargle and Mark the Wine Merchant... ### 5/5 — Unique, insightful and very funny *2018-09-03, version 2.2.2* The creators of Alex have managed to make fun of, and keep up with, one of the most mysterious industries in the country. They have kept up with the changes from long lunches and lavish hospitality to the rather grimmer world of restrictions of personal indulgence, the introduction of American management and the spectre of an Orwellian compliance culture. The personalities have stayed true to form with the hapless Clive and the perspicacity of Alex. A welcome daily chuckle. ### 5/5 — Masterley App *2018-09-03, version 2.2.2* Brilliant! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2018-07-10, version 2.2.0* Brilliant new app. I love getting the push notification reminders so I never miss a cartoon. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
