Good solid material
Good reads and always up to date
Puzzles not loading
I downloaded the app in the hope that puzzles would reliably load. Unfortunately it has the same problem as a browser on iPad and iPhone that puzzles very often taken ages to load or not at all. This has been happening for months. Why can’t it be fixed, especially as you charge extra for puzzles.
Stop nagging me to sell subscriptions for you!
A pop up asking me to share a link for a subscription pops up every couple of key presses on iPad. STOP IT!

The leading UK newspaper for British Patriots and traditionalists.
Intrusive pop-ups!
The ios app is generally stable and responsive. Mid week content good, though a lot of weekend content is rehashed earlier articles. Recently, you cannot move between articles without constant annoying pop-ups offering to share the articles with a non subscriber. This needs to be curtailed.
Good
The journalism is excellent, but couldn’t justify 200 quid for the year, so I’m glad they offered it to me for 20 quid
Pop ups ruining app
I’ve been using the Telegraph app for a couple of years. It’s largely been good to use and I like the news content. However the Telegraph uses pop ups adverts, which are really annoying. But recently they have started using pop up adverts for subscriptions. They invite me to pass on an offer of 4 months free app access to a friend. These are both repetitive and infuriating. You have actually click on the X to close them. I’ve had them three times this morning whilst reading today’s edition of the telegraph. It makes the app unusable. Paying subscribers should be able to select a ‘don’t show me this offer again’ option rather than be repeatedly bombarded with this unwanted advertising. If it continues I will be seeking a new provider of news/current affairs.

Subscription trap
Once you subscribe, they make it impossible to unsubscribe. Pathetic.
Ukraine Podcast
I have lived and traveled in Britain since the mid-1970s. I have never been particularly impressed by the Telegraph, favoring The Economist and the BBC. When the BBC ended their Ukrain podcast, I did a search and found the Telegraph's. It is excellent. I subscribed to the newspaper in order to support the podcast team.

Great news but problems with the app
I've been a subscriber for years and as a long time reader have tended to download the paper rather than read the live feed. With the latest versions that's changing and I tend to read the live feed.
Today there's a problem which makes it almost unusable annoyingly. You select an article to read (for me it was "my heat pump didn't work") and every minute or so you're thrown from the article to the top headline feed. You then have to scroll down to find the article again, read another couple of paragraphs and get chucked out again.
It makes the live feed almost unusable. Please fix!
UPDATE - this may have been an intermittent problem. It appears to have resolved itself for the time being.

Three years in a row I have tried to cancel my account three years in a row they’ve charged me $325
I don’t know what kind of scam they’re running, but I have canceled my account three years in a row and three years in a row they’ve charged me $325. I am broke and unemployed right now, and I can’t afford this. I am outraged.
Newspaper view
All good apart from fact that I’d like the Newspaper function to look like the physical newspaper
Endless pop ups - negative feedback doesn’t work
I am so sick of the endless pop ups, share this, reward that and so on. I want to read the content and not have to continually click an X to read it. I pay for a subscription. If I want to share I will choose to do so with the existing controls. I dont need this offered after every other article read. Tried to give direct feedback but it came up with an error saying do it manually via email. But no email address, clearly they dont want feedback…..

Way too many adverts
Horrible app. Trying to read an article is a nightmare because the article’s text keeps moving around as adverts are constantly inserted into the story plus most of the adverts contain multiple images so everything keeps flickering. Very annoying. If you pay for a subscription then there should be zero advertising but that is not the case with the Telegraph.

Overall a great app - but nuisance ad links
Recently, I have found it very easy, when scrolling through news articles, to touch a link to an ad which I then opens up. This interrupts the flow of reading and is very irritating.
Comments impossible to follow on busy stories
Good app, use it daily. One frustration: on big stories, comments come in so fast that whatever you’re reading gets pushed down the screen every couple of seconds. You lose your place, scroll to find it, and another comment knocks it down again. A “pause live updates” toggle with a “load new comments” button would fix it — YouTube live chat and Reddit do something similar. Even just keeping the scroll position anchored when new comments load would help. Emailed the app team about this too.

Beautiful App
A really well designed and aesthetically pleasing app.
iPad update is terrible - here we go again
7 June 26: The home page has reverted back to the hugely unpopular and tedious scrolling format. Please leave the app alone and stop breaking it with unwelcome changes.
Original review:Used to love the IPad Home Screen. It is now awful. Please revert back to the previous format which was perfect.
Update: I’m pleased to say the developers have responded promptly to the negative reviews regarding the home page changes and reversed the change which made it so awful to view on a tablet.
