Whoever wrote the instructions really needs a lesson in keeping it simple. I’m giving up and will have to stick to my hard copy. Very disappointing. It’s a good thing that the Met is much better at putting on performances. ### 1/5 — Can’t login *2021-07-25, version 18.3.0* I pay way too much money to not get access to the app. There’s nothing wrong with my account—I can login on my phone browser—but I can’t access any content from the app. ### 1/5 — why oh why oh? *2020-05-16, version 18.3.0* I simply can't understand why this is so complicated and never gets me anywhere...in fact I believe I am no longer receiving my print issues though I check accounts and find I'm paid up...it all makes me tired! ### 1/5 — doesn't work *2020-03-19, version 18.3.0* Crashes every time I try to log in ### 5/5 — Finally! *2014-07-22, version 7.7.1* So glad that I am finally able to read Opera News on my iPad. ## Frequently asked questions about Opera News ### What is Opera News?
