### 3/5 — Very convenient, still basic

*2015-04-08*

Good free basic port of the paper. Thanks for clearing up the fault where past issues downloaded could not be deleted.

### 4/5 — BE CAREFUL!!

*2014-03-08*

This app does NOT allow you to delete downloaded papers, so it continues to use valuable storage on your device. The only way to get rid of the cached papers is to uninstall the app, then install again.

Try this - take off your wifi (or wifi and mobile data if your ipad supports a sim). Now load up the app. As you can see, all the papers you previously download are still accessible (from your valuable storage) while new selections complain that you need to be on the internet to access them.

Developers, please fix this little hiccup. Had it not been for that you would have gotten 5 stars. I do love the app and hope this can be fixed.

### 3/5 — Good but crashes

### 1/5 — Inconsistent

*2024-07-22*

Sometimes you can read the columns and then most of the time you have to pinch and enlarge to read. And sometimes you can’t share the story and other times bupkis.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2020-12-02*

This app does not work well at all and crashes when I try to read the news. I would like to get back the old version please.

### 1/5 — Only available on one device

*2020-03-06*

Can only use on my iPhone only, you guys must be high if you think am only going to use this on one device

### 1/5 — Not working on iPad Air 2 since the last update

*2017-11-14*

No longer works since the last update please fix this.

### 1/5 — Continuously crashing

*2017-05-03*

Since last update app crashes and cant open. Please undo what you did.

### 1/5 — Terrible user experience!

*2016-06-28*

Needs an update very badly!

### 1/5 — Not operating well

*2014-07-10*

This app was good while it was working, however it's no longer working well. It's constantly freezing from the moment I open it it freezes. There is obviously a bug that needs to be fixed.

### 1/5 — No way to clear cache

*2014-02-15*

Ok way to push your media. But how a, I supposed to remove a days print without removing the app? I am at almost 1gb use for this app and climbing.

### 2/5 — App not loading

*2015-04-08*

I enjoy the convenience of reading the newspaper on my iPad but unfortunately this app has always been very slow: to load, use and close. Now, since the latest update, it is unusable as I have not been able to load it at all. If this is not fixed I will have to cancel my subscription.

### 3/5 — Not working for me anymore

*2021-12-12*

I don't know if it is me but the app, which has worked for me is not working again even after deleting  and re-installing.

Very nice, high quality digital papers.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2014-01-26*

Nice design also

### 5/5 — love the interactive features more than a newspaper

*2013-09-15*

Wow, this newspaper is amazing.  its more than just a regular newspaper. there are extra pictures, additional content, and you can email the columnists or even connect to someone who has an ad and put in their email in the classifieds.

### 5/5 — Good

*2013-08-19*

Great app!!!!

### 4/5 — Good app

*2020-10-16*

I’m liking the app so far. My only requests would be a higher resolution splash screen and app-wide dark mode.

### 4/5 — Excellent App and Very User Friendly

*2014-04-24*

App is well done.  Thanks T'dad Guardian for making it so easy to read the newspaper digitally.  However, would be better if the digital news version was available the same time as the online version around midnight and not hours afterwards.  Took a year's subscription because of this app.  Please advise Express as their layout is not user  friendly
