### 1/5 — Unusable puzzles

*2026-08-26*

I have subscribed for many years; with the Puzzles section often the deciding factor when considering renewing the subscription.  Alas the latest changes render the puzzles unusable on my iPad so I will not bother to renew the subscription this year.  I trust whoever commissioned their 14 year old nephew to create such a ridiculous abomination considers it money well spent.

Having cancelled my subscription I find I have lost access to the remaining months of my current subscription.  They then sent an email offering a reduced rate to re-subscribe. I have deleted the app and am rid of the laughably inept buffoons who seem to be running things these days - or perhaps it’s all down to the AI 🙄

### 5/5 — Excellent reportage

*2026-07-10, version 4.0.13*

I have always enjoyed the independent’s clear and balanced reporting and shal continue to do so

### 5/5 — Good quality reporting

*2026-07-08, version 4.0.13*

The i paper does a great job in highlighting real life and world issues in such  a focused way! Good reporting and thoughtful and timely comments. Without bias in many cases!

### 4/5 — Mr John Pierre

*2026-07-05, version 4.0.13*

Concise and unbiased reporting

### 1/5 — Poor

*2026-06-29, version 4.0.13*

The only reason I buy it is because it’s cheap and a five minute read. Too often yesterday‘s news, lots of guest workpieces to fill copy and page, very much a woman’s newspaper-3/4 always women’s columns and photos very difficult to read. I imagine if you are colourblind (which I’m not) because so often, copy is coloured with illegible font. But what the use of complaining no one reads or takes any notice of complaints on this paper

### 5/5 — Family favourite

*2026-06-27*

I have been reading the weekend for over a year. I find it’s more concise than the larger papers not as many adverts. And i consider it to be a truthful paper.  Doesn’t seem to have much rubbish or exaggerated news in it. 
Only extra i would add is the family puzzles.  There are not any child friendly puzzles on the app. Well for younger children. My grandaughter loves to come on a Saturday just for the puzzles.

### 5/5 — Quality journalism that’s affordable

*2026-06-14, version 4.0.12*

Excellent news coverage from around the world and they don’t mind treading on toes. Compared to the Apple version, 10 times better at less than a fifth of the cost, can’t recommend highly enough.

### 3/5 — Ipaper online

*2026-06-12, version 4.0.12*

Great but I didn’t get a World Cup schedule pull out poster

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-06-09, version 4.0.12*

Fantastic unbiased journalism that the media in this country so desperately needs

### 4/5 — News content is good, but a bit click-baity

*2026-05-22*

The paper itself is great, and the news coverage excellent. I like the impartial stance of the paper which is why I started reading it. I’d prefer a bit less comment and more news. And definitely fewer headlines that are click-bait. On a technical level the app is very robust and works well. In the newspaper layout I’d like to click on an article to read it in a pop up window which would make it easier to read on a smartphone.
