### 3/5 — Aplicacion lenta y llena de publicidad

*2026-07-18*

La aplicacion es pesada y lenta, la publicidad aparece en medio de la lectura de un articulo a pesar de pagar una membresia. Experiencia desagradable, prefiero leer el periodico en la web.

### 1/5 — No funciona el modo offline en iphone ni descargar la versión impresa en ipad

*2026-06-08*

En modo avión no consigo ver los artículos de portada que he descargado ni la versión en papel del periódico. En el ipad, cada vez que intento descargar la version impresa me dice que me haga premium, pero soy premium desde hace años.

Por favor, haced algo con este despropósito de aplicación

**Developer response:** Hola, tenemos una nueva versión de la app disponible. ¿Podrías actualizar la app, por favor? Si sigues teniendo el mismo error, ¿puedes enviarnos un email a contactoapp@elpais.es? ¡Gracias!

### 1/5 — Un desastre

*2026-05-29, version 13.2.0*

Experiencia pésima a todo nivel. Periodismo muy sesgado. Cantidad de publicidad para clientes de pago. Amén de prácticas fraudulentas para renovar subscripciones sin autorización. En síntesis. Una vergüenza por donde se lo mire.

### 2/5 — Nuevo recorte en la suscripción

*2026-05-26, version 13.2.0*

Tras llevar años como suscriptor básico, pagando más de 100€ al año, ahora nos exigen ser premium para acceder a crucigramas, etc. TREMENDO!!!

### 3/5 — Pasatiempos

*2026-05-24, version 13.2.0*

Hoy domingo 24-5-2026 repiten pasatiempos del pasado domingo

### 2/5 — No reproduce vídeos

*2026-05-22, version 13.2.0*

Los vídeos insertados rara vez se reproducen. 

Por otro lado, estoy en una noticia con el terminal en vertical y al ponerlo en horizontal salta a la siguiente noticia. 

Tomad buena nota.

### 3/5 — No permite borrar ejemplares descargados

*2026-05-20, version 13.1.0*

Quienes descarguen ejemplares de edición impresa y, una vez leídos, decidan borrarlo para no ir ocupando espacio inútilmente, no tienen esa opción, de lo más básica en este tipo de aplicaciones. Se ven obligados a deinstalar e instalar de nuevo la App. No es aceptable.
(Actualización: me informan desde El PAÍS que las ediciones impresas descargadas en la App se eliminan automáticamente a los cinco días).

### 1/5 — Laberinto de publicidad

*2026-05-19, version 13.1.0*

El punto final de esta app es llevarte constantemente a la suscripción premium con constantes desvíos a publicidad. Con la suscripción básica prácticamente no se pueden leer artículos interesantes y es imposible ver los vídeos de contenido que te llevan a la publicidad y a una pantalla negra que te pide iniciar sesión para confirmar ti identidad pero que no responde al enlace y la app se queda colgada. 
Se están luciendo en 50 aniversario. 
Me cambiaré a otro diario digital.

### 1/5 — Periódico lleno de mentiras

*2026-05-18, version 13.1.0*

Se nota que este diario está totalmente inclinado a la ultraderecha ¡que asco!

### 1/5 — ¿¿Leer sin conexión??

*2026-05-15, version 13.1.0*

Desde hace un tiempo es imposible utilizar la función de Descarga. Arregladlo ya, por favor
