Probably the worst app I have
The DTel always tries to manage me! They have hugely differing prices for subscriptions and refuse to let you overlap. Changing personal details or passwords is a nightmare. Their system "remembers " your old details and makes it almost impossible to change them.
Sad really that a media company can be that bad.

Crashes and sudden appearance of adverts
The app seems to have developed an annoying habit of suddenly resetting, kicking you out of an article and putting you back at the top of the homepage.
Then as you read, an advert appears under your thumb and launches instead of you scrolling down the story (and to make matters worse, when you go back to the article you’re back at that top again)
Would be manageable if it was only once in a while but it’s too frequent

Accessible & Informative
Enjoy having news at my finger tips and articles mainly challenging and thought provoking. Keeps me up to date and the puzzles ensure I’m mentally active !
Travel
Always concise informative and to the best of my knowledge completely accurate. It seems AI is never used to pad out articles and comments etc etc well done Mr Calder keep up the great work. I lived and worked in Zambia for 8 years in the 1970’s They have just great National Parks and things to do and see. Maybe do articles Nation by Nation ??

Irritating interruptions
I enjoy the Daily Telegraph, but the App on my iPad has the very annoying habit of refreshing back to the front page while I am in the middle of reading an interesting article. It seems very difficult to get back to the article to complete my reading it. This happened three times in less than an hour this evening.
My only other complaint concerns article of interest that have to be listened to, a problem to someone as deaf as I am. I thought a newspaper was designed to be read! Sadly I cannot get a printed version as it is several miles to the nearest shop.

Dark mode?
I don’t remember when dark mode was added, but it’s been some time, and it’s literally never worked. Would be a great addition. Puzzles section can also be unreliable to load.
App
Useless, paid I. Apple Pay twice. No paper just keeps sending me back to subscribe?? Given up, says no payment, but have paid twice and still cannot load Times App asking for payment AGAIN??
Dark Theme Do Not Work
I usually read the news at night and want to use the Dark mode under the settings. I tried to turn it on, but it does not switch to Dark at all.
Awful
Tried to access the free trial but told account wasn’t registered and app wouldn’t load. Only noticed a couple of months later that my bank was being charged. Took ages to find a link that worked to be able to reset account and cancel further payments.
So frustrating!
Not at all impressed. This is the fifth day I have been unable to load Puzzles. I have reported this issue several times, with zero response. Very disappointed.
Great, But Repetitive
DT has been ‘my’ paper since I was 10 or so. Hence the move to online was always going to happen. Still enjoy the ‘paper’ but a couple of observations - some headlines are increasingly sensational, and articles are repeated, sometimes two or three times, as one scrolls down the page. Finally, more journalism, less reporting, please.

Great app
News is updated regularly and there is the ability to comment on some news articles.

Impossible to cancel without calling them
Harry and Megan
If you want wall to wall coverage of Harry and Megan then this app is for you. If you want news, then look elsewhere.
I’ve deleted it.

What’s missing is a decent Books section.
It’s a real shame that the DT, so strong in many areas ( politics, sport, fashion, film), has abandoned its once terrific Books coverage. Please bring it back! Hardly any books, esp novels, are now reviewed. Newspapers are read by readers. We aren’t being served.
Good value subscription
When I was a paperboy in the mid 70’s I used to frown on houses which took The Telegraph! The thick broadsheet was far too heavy to lug around, especially at the pay rates paid in those days. It’s great that I can now fit all that pulp into my pocket.!!
On the go
It’s really good to be able to read quality articles when I’m on the go. Unfinished reads can be quickly found and finished
Great content, awful app
Frequently fails to load properly (despite using latest version of app and IOS). Kicks you out of an article back to the main page while reading. Sometimes just doesn’t load at all (white page). Good journalistic content though.
Keeps going to home page
Unstable app that keeps sending the reader back to the home page when reading an article. Even worse it then hides that story as it thinks you have read it.
