### 3/5 — Needs Updating

*2019-09-25, version 2.4*

Generally ok, although the archive needs improving, a search function to access older content would be good. Overnights tab excludes +1 and in some cases HD in the numbers, a simple update could surely rectify that. You have to close the app down and re-open it to leave the digital edition of the magazine, a ‘back’ button here would be very useful.

### 1/5 — Clunky and slow...

*2018-08-03, version 2.4*

This publication is a key read for anyone in the media in the UK. Not sure how one of our leading media publications can be letting itself down so badly. The app is not smooth or sleek. The landing page seems designed all-by-guess. But the major fail here is the repeated crashing of the app when you try to navigate about. Downloading the next issue is really not easy. Even when you’ve learned where to look for that choice the app crashes, kicks you out and then won’t reboot cleanly. If you can begin the download for reading offline it’s excruciatingly slow. How are we supposed to read our VERY expensive trade subscription in digital form? The worst journal/publication app I’ve used by far.  The app absolutely does not have its finger on the pulse of new media, that’s for sure! Take a look at The Hollywood Reporter App guys, that one works like a dream.

### 1/5 — £260 a year????

*2018-05-21, version 2.4*

Total rip off - massively over priced. Delete delete delete.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2017-09-16, version 2.3*

Useless, have makers not realised it has been crashing for a month

### 1/5 — Crashes on opening

*2017-09-09, version 2.3*

Useless.

### 1/5 — It started crashing on Monday. Can't open it

*2017-09-01, version 2.3*

It's crashing on opening. I reinstalled - that did not fix the problem.

### 1/5 — Crash & Blank

*2017-08-25, version 2.3*

iPhone version now just crashes and the iPad one opens but all the 'articles' are blank - until it's fixed it's sadly total waste of time.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2015-08-28, version 2.1*

£22 for a ONE MONTH subscription? Are you freaking kidding me? It's not like Broadcast is even that good anymore. Complete rip off.

### 1/5 — Dreadful

*2015-04-03, version 2.0*

So much potential but full of sign on bugs and constantly displays 1 in the icon for no reason. Utter rubbish coding.

### 1/5 — Swing and a miss....

*2015-02-24, version 1.1*

Constantly crashes when trying to open the whole magazine and at random points when reading articles, so fairly useless as a news app.
