Anyone else’s have this problem Len?

Times Live no longer usable

I had a problem with the Times Live App on my iPad as it started to crash when changing pages and was very unstable. I deleted and reinstalled the App but now the problem is that when clicking on an article it often goes to ‘share this article’ and freezes. Then I have to exit the App and open again but the same thing keeps happening. I have deleted and reinstalled the App several times, to no avail.

My iPad is 8th generation running OS version 26.5. The Times app is version 12.5.0.

Glitch

I’m being driven to distraction by the constant redirection to my browser of adverts. I can barely read any article without being constantly forwarded to unwanted advertisements. Come on Times. Sort it out

Ads opening themselves

The recent update seems to have given the (awful) ads free reign to seemingly open themselves ! Makes trying to actually read the articles almost impossible as every few seconds an ad opens in the browser. I am not clicking on them.
