Love it!
I really enjoy this subscription, but it’s a little blinky. IRight now I can’t figure out how to view any issue except the current one- what happened to the archive?
Update: I searched the question online and see that the archive has a separate web address. So no problems, perfectly happy. I also got a response from the developer on this- they are very helpful.

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.

Please enable immersive reading option
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.

Eye Candy
My eyes are not assaulted by ads. Best reading experience of any news app.
Approve
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.
Great App
I love the LRB. The App is easy to search and find articles and save them. I wish it still had a dedicated space for saving the ones you want to read later.
Great writing, awful app
The LRB has some of the best writing in the UK, no doubt, but the app is dreadful - even if you can get it to recognise your subscription number, which will likely involve a battle, it’s very poorly designed. There are no options to increase font size or boldness (the text colour looks very cool, but is not good for those with poorer eyesight), nor any other options that readers might enjoy to make the best use of the technology. It’s still worth subscribing, but prepare to wait a long time for a response from technical support when the app won’t let you sign in.

A publication you cannot afford to be withou
A totally indispensable fortnightly arrival - the breadth of its subject matter never fails to amaze (and instruct).
Inaccurate App Store Description for In-App Purchases
According to the App Store, in-app purchases are supported, including 1 year subscriptions. Pretty sure that’s not the case. LRB doesn’t seem to have figured out that reducing friction is good for business…
Can’t access my subscription
I paid for a subscription but keep getting a message that I don’t have a subscription. I’m going to pursue a chargeback with my credit card company
Larger type please
Make your typeface much larger.
Thanks.
Brilliant! Every issue. Thank you.
Not good
I love the LRB and have subscribed to print edition for 20 years. But app seems pretty useless. Search function is hopeless.
It is always a pleasure to read
I can always count on the writing skill of the reviewers to make reading the LRB a pleasure to read but the more often than not the depth of their knowledge and insight keeps me subscribing
The best periodical
The LRB is my favorite reading material, being more diverse in both its subjects and writers than any other. It has managed to print important work in spite of controversies that intimidated better known journals. I’ve saved more of its stories, both for the content and the quality of the writing, and found that when other publications aged into annoyances, the LRB continues to hold my attention and to satisfy my insatiable curiosity about the only world I inhabit.

Please shorten the app name to ‘LRB’
Currently the title underneath the app icon cuts off ‘LondonReview…’ as it is too long. I realise this is a niche request, however the issue triggers my OCD.
Buggy and basic
I download back issues and mark favourites and they disappear. I get numerous errors when launching on 4G or if the app is backgrounded for any length of time.
Not sure why there isn’t a remote server user profile that stores more about my use and bookmarks than just account info.
It’s a shame, the content is magnificent.
