Account renewal request renders useless
I thought this app was just fine, especially after the improvement where I could sync my saved stories across different devices
But this morning, I get a notification pop-up to renew and I do but it still persists.
After an hour of troubleshooting with support, I basically cannot use the app because the moment I open it, I get the renewal pop-up again even though I’ve paid for three years subscription!

Poor on the basics
Great on skimming headlines, poor on actually letting you carry on reading what you were reading before. Another commenter made this same point - basic state preservation is absent so if you don’t finish what you were reading before leaving the app, you’ll be dumped back on the Home Screen and have to navigate all the way back to the article you were reading. If this is a briefing from a few weeks back, this will be a pain. This is basic functionality in a news reading app and I am astonished it’s missing. Nearly £400 a year subscription and you can’t just pick up where you left off? Makes the app much less useful for me. Also, auto downloading new issues would be nice.

Too many adverts: subscription cancelled.
Like so many others have noted, the adverts have become intrusive on the app. Subscription cancelled.
AI narration is bad
The AI narration is irritatingly bad, mispronouncing too many words
Audio totally ruined
Audio playback has been ruined with the recent update. Before, you could start playback at any article and it would play it and all following articles in sequence. Now it plays one article and stops. If there is a queue, it will instead jump to the next article in the queue. And there is no way to delete the queue. Audio playback is impossible for me to use.
