User reviews

Drains battery, makes phone too hot to hold.

Drains battery, makes phone too hot to hold. Only one of my c.150 apps to do this.

Cheaper and more effective than psychotherapy..

First class insights, a balm for your sense of humour, a magnet for common sense, a trusted lens through which to observe and sift the dross of MSM output.

The best magazine

I love all your British commentary but also American and even the Australian piece on right-wing insurgence à la Pauline Hanson. Keep up the good work!

Not always great

Having subscribed for about ten years I don’t things have improved under Gove, who seems like it as his personal mouthpiece. In addition too often the click bait headlines dont deliver. Otherwise it’s great and I never tire of Liddel, Murray’s, striver et al

Much improved

More interesting than it previously was.
