User reviews

Frustrating - needs update

I love Granta magazine but this app is desperately in need of an update. I’m constantly asked to sign back into my account and there’s occasions where I can’t access the library at all. Easier just to access through browser.

Why bother having an app?

Unable to restore subscription, even after redownloading the app. The weekly feature has not refreshed since the week I purchased my subscription almost a year ago.

Always logging in

Nice to look at and use. But you have to log in almost every time. Total pain. Defeats the purpose of the app. Simpler to just keep the book near, but reduces my time reading Granta as a result. Shameful product.

:(

just cant use the app. it say that I need to have a connection with the internet but Im already connected and never launch

I can’t read a thing

I have the app for the past year and a half and I have a paid subscription. Suddenly the app has stopped working. I can’t read a thing. It’s a blank screen every time I tap on an article. Please help. Before this it was working wonderfully.
