No UX consideration, not worth the price

Long term user and have been paying the subscription and keep getting modal pop-ups to subscribe, don’t get value for money with no difference to the free version in terms of content and now the app is crashing every time I try to open it. Have cancelled the subscription and deleted the app, very disappointing

Should be free with ad’s

Loved the 42 app when it was free. Don’t look at half as much now that u have to subscribe and pay to use it….. bring back the free articles, don’t mind looking at the ads to get this app free

Charging for the app now is ridiculous

This is a dying app after they start charge us for news. I will never be using this app again
