Appalling subscriber support
The paper is great and the app is very good, but customer service is appalling. It proved impossible to renew a gift subscription. They charged me three times (eventually refunded). Then they locked me out of the app before my sub had ended. Finally sorted out (with an entirely new subscription); hopefully no more problems.

The app works great but with this caveat - When reversing the scrolling direction of Saved articles, The 'Saved' ribbon and the back button appear on top and vanish, once resuming the normal scrolling direction. This affects the reading experience. If the 'Saved' ribbon and the back button will only come up upon tapping or some such control, it would result in a seemless reading experience. Kindly consider to include this feature.

My eyes are not assaulted by ads. Best reading experience of any news app.

Love that the app has a dark mode and zero distractions whilst reading.
Get it. Read it.
Best combination of essays available today on what’s new in books and on what’s new (or old) in culture, in art, and in politics. Endlessly sharp and entertaining.
