Widget not refreshing

Like the app but seems that the widget doesn’t auto-update even with background app refresh on.

Not much point in a widget if you have to tap on (which opens the app) to get the latest updates 🤦🏻‍♂️

iPad Version

Please bring back the iPad version.

Subscription through Google Terrible Experience

While this is not necessarily a comment on the Age app I didn’t have another better place to leave my feedback and I am upset so forgive my rant.

I paid for a subscription through Google that was never recognised by the app. I had several back and forth messages with the Age customer service that then hand-balled me to Google and I was referred to countless unhelpful ‘help’ pages.

The Age claimed they cannot resolve the issue since it is with Google and Google’s customer resolution journey has been no better to be honest.

Yours sincerely, a very frustrated former Age subscriber.

Why is the app yelling at me?

The Age is great. I don’t appreciate that the app name under the icon is in all caps. At 5:38 am, I don’t want to be yelled at by THE AGE while waking up.

Cookie hell!

Almost every single day that I visit Target Time, I am presented with a screen to accept cookies. You want to give OVER TWO HUNDRED vendors access to my data.
I don’t want cookies. Rather than a simple “reject all” I am forced to scroll down through several pages of options, manually unselecting all the default options.
Yes, I am currently in Europe. Yes, they care about data privacy, as do I. But no - making it painful to reject cookies is NOT ACCEPTABLE. As a new subscriber, I am losing patience.
