iPad not downloading newspapers

No newspapers download with new iPad with latest operating system since app was updated 2 weeks ago.
No problems before then.
Freezes once header page appears. Support notified many times?

2026 App update big fail

Really bad update. Reading the morning news is no longer enjoyable with this inadequate version - not worth the money.

Recent changes

I used to enjoy your App but the most recent updates leave readers frustrated about the features that used to be there. Please bring back article to article swiping, good organisation of pieces. As a premium subscriber I’d like just those basics!

Annoying you can no longer swipe from one article to the next

Have to click in, and back, and then in to next article- hard going
