Doesn’t work

I’ve paid the subscription. Deleted and re installed the app but all I get is a picture of deck chairs on the beach. Nothing else.

Is there anyone out there?

I can’t believe that Newsquest is happy to allow this app to limp along. It really is a disgrace and like a previous reviewer has let you know buying into a years subscription is money down the drain.
The bottom line is DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE SUBSCRIPTION.
It would also be good to know if anyone has noted this message and intends to fix it?

Mr K

Paid a years subscription and hasn’t worked since. Think it’s best you you return my money.

Diabolical

Subscribed through the App Store but apparently still need to pay for a subscription to access the content. Utter waste of time & money.

Premium Subscription

It’s the same with me, but I haven’t even found out how to pay for the upgrade. I pay for the newspaper through Apple but can’t go any further. I asked The Argus but they couldn’t help as I have an Apple subscription.

Does not work

After paying the charge for a year I found that the app does not work. Whenever I click a link on the home page for more information about a news item I just get the subscription page which shows I have paid but I can’t go any further. The developers have suggested I try a number of things (clearing caches, reinstalling, etc) but nothing sorts it out. Now they have given up trying to help.

Great paper

And a great app to see it,

Poor after sales service.

Had the app for two years now as it’s a lot cheaper than having the actual paper.
I’ve been trying to find out my password for more than a year now without success. It would be useful if you forgot your password to click a button and they would give you the chance to reset it like every other site does.
Also we often get a few pages missing when we download the paper.
It’s a very amateurish effort at providing a basic daily paper.
I’ve now cancelled my annual subscription and will rejoins again using fresh details. Perhaps then I can sign in my wife on her iPad so she can read it.
We have the Daily Mail Plus online which works perfectly. Why can’t the Argus use the same system.

Ian

What happened to the original app?
This is a subscription app and I only want to know what’s happening with the Albion.
Bring back the original App which was free to download.

Useless

Got slower and slower to open and now cannot open at all.
Had to reinstall once a few months ago. Get a grip!

Rubbish - don’t download

No Argus for 2days so far. Page Suite are blaming the Argus. Argus not doing anything.

Doesn't work for me

Been using the app for a couple of years. It's been OK but needed a few tweaks. They have recently changed the format/provider and it was just problematic until a week ago when it wouldn't load up. Have written to them but no acknowledgement. Jury is out but I don't hold out much hope as the news content itself seems to be on the decline.

Unable to log in after eventual upgrade

Despite the length of time it has taken for the developers to upgrade the app I now find that I can’t access my account. The halp page says that as an iTunes user I should click the restore subscription tab. Guess what, there isn’t one. So despite them still taking my money they seem intent on denying me access. Shameful
