Subscriber for ma y years

The App does not permit me to search or read

Still one of the worst apps ever

Impossible to delete, mark, or otherwise distinguish which issues you have read. The delete button does nothing. The check mark indicating a downloaded issue pops back within a second.

inferior

1. No way to show a TOC as in the printed version. 2. no search function within articles. 3. a primitive global search function that doesn’t even tell you dates of the articles it finds.

Wish I could buy individual editions

It's such a shame this app doesn't allow you to buy a single magazine. I don't want to subscribe as I mostly don't have time to read the TLS. But it would be my go-to when I do have time... if only I could just drop by the app and buy this week's issue.

Accessibility and Login Issues

Continue to have login issues, issues recognizing subscription, font is tiny. Access to the digital subscription is really hit or miss. As one reviewer pointed out, at least I don’t have to search for my subscriber number!
