V7.0.0 update crashes every time you open an article

Do not update until they fix this.

The Irish Times app is deeply disappointing

For a newspaper that was very early on the Internet in Ireland the app is a dud. My biggest complaint is that the front page repeats the same stories multiple times while “hiding” a lot of good material inside. They clearly don’t invest in it. Do better, TIT!

Blank white screen

Nothing opens now other than the black background and a blank white screen. Can't open any articles, navigate, or do anything. What am I paying 11.99 a month for?

As awful as ever

the Irish Times make perhaps the worst apps you will see, not just the main newspaper app, but what possibly wins the title for worst app ever, MyHome.ie. You would think in this day and age it would be possible to make a news app that worked well, with good UX and was stable. Apparently not in the IT’s case!
