What a scam!

So you get the first year for 99p. THEN subscription goes up to £34.99. You cancel subscription and within 5 minutes get an offer to renew for £0.99!! How many ppl get caught out paying the full amount?! Very sharp practice. I won’t renew on principle now.

Atrocious - Impossible to navigate

RT helpfully email articles that they think you might like to read, and sometimes they’re right so you open the article in a browser. But wait, even though you’re a paid subscriber and are signed in the article stays hidden behind a firewall and you’re directed to open the app to read it there instead. Irritating, but fine. But then just try finding the article in the app, completely awful design with no apparent coherent navigation or index system. Will not be renewing my subscription.

Honestly, I don’t get it!

I paid the 99p promo. Nothing to lose. Certainly wouldn’t pay 99p again and as for £35!!!! I’m not sure what it offers apart from editors picks that you can add to a watchlist and TV listings from which you can do the same. Sorry Radio Times, but it’s not worth the 99p! If it offered full listings of what’s on all streaming services, it would make more sense. Then it becomes a useful one stop place to collate what I want to watch.

No tv listings

Useless if you want to see what’s on TV. You have the ability to check what’s on TV ‘tonight’ but it only shows one programme. Nothing before or after that programme.

Confusing

I had hoped this would provide me with a simple way of listing programmes I fancy watching, particularly those I can’t record on Sky+.
The way to do this is not particularly straightforward and there is little help on line.
The only way seems to be to look in the radio times for recommendations and log them on the app using “search”.
Time consuming!
