### 2/5 — OK ish for iphone

*2025-11-13*

I live abroad and subscribe to the DT, which I read via the web on my M4 Mac.
Your Say has migrated solely to the app now,
Who ever heard of reading a broadsheet newspaper on a phone? If you’re desperate maybe but otherwise it’s whole better experience on my Studio display.
The app sort of works on Mac OS Sequoia as long as you want to read the Sydney version ?!?!
I have a VPN router which firmly places me in the UK, so it’s not that. 
Of course the DT is not keen on reducing my subscription to account for the lack of access to some features on my Mac, but with the imminent takeover of the DT by foreign interests perhaps it’s time to go elsewhere for News

### 1/5 — Failed for 6 days to Deliver Paper

*2021-04-20*

Was a customer for 7 years until they continually failed to deliver the daily edition in April 2021. After 6 days, I cancelled the subscription, requested a refund through Apple (which was given) and subscribed to the News LTD app for half the price. They had one job....and failed miserably.

### 1/5 — For a communication brand you suck at it!

*2021-04-20, version 4.9.13*

Haven’t been able to download a copy since 14th April. Apparently an issue between supplier and the app provider. But not an email or pop up to tell us anything. Why am I paying for this? How about a pause or extension on this months subscription? You’re a communication company....so communicate!
 Cancelling subscription now.

### 1/5 — Hurry and fix it

*2021-04-18, version 4.9.13*

The app just stopped working. No new editions since 14 April. 
No communications to say why. 
Very annoying when you have paid for a subscription

### 1/5 — My Paper is not being delivered - Hopeless Support

*2021-04-18*

I have been a subscriber for +10years. My last monthly subscription was paid 2nd April but for some unknown reason paper delivery ceased 15th April. I have deleted and reinstalled the app without success. I have made contact with both Apple Itunesstore support and the developer of the App multiple times. Both blame each other and no one accepts responsibility to resolve my issue. I’m done. I’m cancelling my subscription.

### 1/5 — Won’t download paper

*2021-04-18*

It’s been 4 days and have not been able to down load the news paper, yet subscription is up to date. Just a joke 
Rob

### 1/5 — No paper

*2021-04-15*

Sick of finding no paper there you pay for it a digital file shouldn't be hard to upload its not being printed tech support doesn't help  just say they don't have paper who has the guy on street selling the hardcopy????? Paying for frustration at moment

### 2/5 — Terrible

*2020-07-04*

The whole point is so you can download the paper. Sometimes it don’t even come through till later in the day. Not good enough.

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2018-12-31, version 4.9.13*

Unable to download the issue 31 st dec . Still no issue 1st jan , what the point in paying for nothing

### 1/5 — Garbage!

*2018-07-03*

Takes too long to download, interface very clunky, auto delivery doesn’t work, the app just decided one day to begin a restore purchase loop that wouldn’t stop.
Would prefer to battle Sydney every morning traffic to buy a real paper instead of wasting time with this rubbish application.

### 1/5 — Useless just wants to sell a subscription on I store

*2018-04-02*

With 11.3 this is just an add for a subscription. I already have a subscription and could log in before the upgrade to iOS 11.3.
I would rate this zero stars if I could

### 4/5 — Best App for The Daily Telegraph

*2017-11-07*

Can go directly to a page or section by quickly scrolling through pages down bottom of screen. Definitely best app for reading the Daily Telegraph. Just a little slower loading.

### 1/5 — No Sunday papers

*2017-09-10, version 4.9.5*

No Sunday papers.
No response from daily telegraph
No solution to fix problem
No refund
Disgusting

### 1/5 — Sunday paper

*2017-09-10, version 4.9.5*

Can not receive Sunday paper anymore please fix,paying a enough money for this service.

### 1/5 — No Sunday paper again

*2017-09-09, version 4.9.5*

For the second week in a row, no Sunday Telegraph. About to ask them why but wont hold my breath as no response from last weeks email.

### 4/5 — App rip off

*2017-09-03*

Worked fine in trial once paid subscription unable to download paper app is total rip off -simo
This app is great for Monday to Saturday but having a lot of trouble every Sunday to get the paper  yesterday could not get it at   But still paying for it.      Simo

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Telegraph has gone downhill

*2022-09-24, version 4.11.10*

- no daily history page
- no comics
- prolific number of adds
- too much ongoing QE 2

### 1/5 — Auto download doesn't work

*2021-11-12*

You can only download the relevant edition on the day despite the auto delivery function being checked. Sometimes, even that doesn't work on the day

### 1/5 — App not opening

*2021-09-25*

Since updating to IOS15 the app opens and closes straight away. Tried turning ipad off and back on and deleting and reinstalling. 25 bucks a month I want my money back

### 1/5 — 0 stars. Does not work...

*2021-04-27*

Like very one else here, I have been a long term subscriber. A few weeks ago the paper just stopped downloading. Both News Ltd and Apple are saying that each other are to blame......use a different media outlet. They owe me a refund.

### 1/5 — E-paper has stopped working

*2021-04-26*

Same problem as the last two reviews- stopped working on the 15th of April. No support at all! I’ve tried everything.

### 1/5 — Issue with subscription

*2021-04-25*

Seems the suppliers had an issue with the press arrangements for this paper and supply stopped mid April with no notice.  When contacting them they explained the issue but gave no details of a resolve or refund of payments made for the full month of April...no idea if the content will return or not....no one seems to know...☹️

### 1/5 — E-paper stopped working 15th of April

*2021-04-23*

I have been a e-subscriber since the day they started( 13 years I think) and have been a happy reader.
On the the 15th of April it stopped allowing issue downloads and despite numerous attempts to fix it( upgrades, reinstalling app etc) it just does not work.
For six days I tried apple support and the telegraph support help lines and both keep passing the buck to the other and are unwilling to help.
I have been left with no choice but to cancel my subscription and will now change to a new paper. Over 40 years of reading this paper will come to an end.

### 1/5 — Last paper rec’d 14/4/2021

*2021-04-22, version 4.9.13*

No paper downloads since 14/4/2021

Appears there are a number of subscribers having the same problem ... 

Can someone fix this situation ASAP!!!

### 1/5 — No new papers

*2021-04-22, version 4.9.13*

Like a number of other people, no new papers since the 14th April. Rang the Telegraph tech support, they blamed Apple. Contacted Apple, they blamed the Telegraph. Have cancelled my subscription and waiting on a refund. Unable to leave a zero star review.

### 1/5 — E-paper not uploading

*2021-04-21, version 4.9.13*

Last paper received was 14thapril. Subscribed until the end of may

### 5/5 — Discovering Aussie app

*2022-03-21*

Complex knowing app

### 5/5 — Excellent job

*2021-11-25*

Enjoying reading the Telegraph especially when I am in hospital for a week, it keeps me entertained and in touch with the outside world.
Well done guys.

### 5/5 — Can’t get latest papers

*2021-05-09*

Can’t download paper past April and it’s now may and I have a subscription! Terrible app!

### 5/5 — Subscription no longer works app no longer works

*2021-05-03*

I have just cancelled my subscription. No new issues have been available on the app since 15 April 2021. App offers no way of login to your subscription.

### 5/5 — I am about to cancel my subscription

*2015-10-01*

Why? It would appear that I need to save up to buy a new i-pad!

### 5/5 — Idiots need not apply

*2014-07-06*

A tip to all the dolts writing that they thought this was the UK Telegraph app: Don't advertise your stupidity by leaving a review. In your attempts to download the Times don't get New York instead. Oh and The Mirror from Mumbai is not the red top you're used to. This app is fine, even has audio for the poorly-sighted. Certainly doesn't deserve one star reviews from imbeciles.

### 5/5 — Great

*2012-12-19*

Sydney morning herald also does a great app  - love both this and that. Nice to have Australian news in the uk.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2012-09-10*

This App in excellent, it's like reading the paper itself. It's an Aussie paper the opera house gives that away. So any Brits who want the British version of the paper look else where.

### 5/5 — Telegraph

*2012-09-03*

Thank you, a great Aussie paper at last!! Brilliant!!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2012-05-05*

Awesome app highly recommend it
