Echo app

I saw a couple of others had encountered difficulties but I’ve been using the app without any issues whatsoever and enjoy the convenience of it. One thing I would say is that you need to have Apple Pay set up for the app to work properly for your subscription. I couldn’t get it to subscribe at first, and that’s because I hadn’t yet set up Apple Pay.

Avoid Like The Plague.

Awful app. Whenever I try to log in, having paid for a subscription, the app refreshes before I’ve had chance to enter my log in details. Gave up, and deleted the app, after five minutes of trying. Such a shame as I really wanted to support a local publication.

Unable to load

Loading too often sticks at picture of Durham cathedral and fails to enter the paper site proper. There is no way to move on from this picture. Fault is with newspaper site as everything else on my iPad loads without problem. The picture is in any case a daily “nuisance” and totally unnecessary. Wits end reached as no one responds at the newspaper to any enquires on this. Definitely thinking of cancelling my e subscription and would not buy a hard copy either.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you have experienced these problems with the app. Can I please ask you to try uninstalling and reinstalling the app as it sounds as though there may be a cached problem with your install. I will also raise this with our development team and we will investigate

Can’t get rid of subscription page

Paid for an in-app subscription of 1 month recurring. As soon as I click on a news story it takes me straight back to the subscription page where it says I have a current subscription. Tried deleting and reinstalling. Tried restarting my iPhone.
