Irish Times News for Android
Page keeps jumping when you scroll - it jumps beyond the headline and picture so that you don't know what you're reading about. This is annoying on otherwise good app
Am I mad or is the letters page gone from the app?
Great content but the app needs improvement. You need to log out and back in after payment each month. Since the latest update the app will often freeze in online or offline mode, showing only the sub headline.
I cant read any articles, its covered in html references
Great app easy to use
I am sorry to say that I am cancelling my Irish Times app subscription - I have given it over a year so I think I have been fair. The app was never my favourite - downloading articles was slow & updating as well. Recently I updated the app as suggested by Google to version 4.3 & the text became illegible. The technical people informed me that I needed a newer version of android to what I have which is android 4.2.2. In updating there was no warning given to me that the Irish Times would not work with my version of android. It seems the Irish Times is un-interested in its long-term customers. I cannot find an older version of the app anywhere on the web. A case of bad customer relations
Very good app. BUT can you please update the app to remember my credentials. I'm continually being asked to login to read the next article which is most annoying.
I've notifications turned on but when I try to view them the app doesn't remember I'm a subscriber unless I logout & back in. if that could be improved please
Does not work properly on a tablet, HTML references all over each article, making it impossible to read, come on IT I am paying my subscription for this!
Is there a search function in the app? If so, it's impossible to find.
Articles full of html tags. No mention of 20 article limit in the description
Can't read stories like I first got the app then there was a update and now says to subscribe to read rest of story?
Given a paid subscription as a present. Had a few queries but my first message to tech dept. was ignored. My second was answered -all disapointing news. I read on an Android 8" tablet. The size of the font is very small and cannot be enlarged. The crossword is not supported and you cannot contsct the editor in-app, you must email him/her. Altogether the good content is let down by technical deficiencys that I suspect will not be addresses so as to encourahe one to subscribe to the even more expensive e-paper version. Unless some of the above are addressed, I cannot see myself renewing the subscription
No mention of the 20 article limit in description. No article summary so essentially each headline is clickbait designed to push you over limit. Many articles sourced from free services. Poor design.......
Latest update is displaying html tags on each article's page. Impossible to read.
New issue in last month... page keeps jumping when trying to scroll. Really frustrating. Otherwise great app
Turn off notifications on installing! Too easy to use up the tiny limit (20 free articles weekly). I really wanted the IT Crossword and would pay for a decent separate app. Interface is all right, currently better than the ipaper version. Can't yet customise or Search or filter.
The ads will work perfectly of course, but the videos frequently won't start, and rarely, if ever, play through to the end.
This is just another biased right wing fascist propaganda newspaper that pushes views and opinions from racists.
Scrolling issue makes it unusable
Thanks.
Ease up on the push notifications
Should only really push notifications about breaking news but instead this app notifies a few times a day with non news items. And when it does send breaking news updates clicking on them often sends you to the front page with no sign of the news story in question. Other than that, very good for browsing articles and looks great on my phone.
Ads even when you pay for a subscription, clickbaity headlines and app keeps jumping up and down the pages. Will consider renewing my subscription when these are dealt with.
Looks great, but it's slow and push notifications sometimes annoyingly lead directly to the home page. Also it's not possible to filter sports news according to type of sport.
Only some free articles a week, then a subscription is required. Plenty of other free news apps to use instead.
Great content and no technical issues.
Can't get this app updated. When I update and try to open it I'm told 'Irish Times App has ceased working' last time I succeeded in reading I.T. was last Oct. Hope you can help..
Latest news and articles are good but it falls behind in design and usability.
Mighty job
Best newspaper ever.....
I can live with ads - after all the content is great and needs to be funded. But take a look at all the permissions this app needs. I'm not trading privacy for content. Uninstalling....I'll view the content in a browser.....with ad blocking enabled until app developers learn how to write apps that respect privacy. As a comparison, I pay 3eur/month for the Guardian app.
Frustratingly slow app. Using with older hardware but no problems with more content rich Guardian app for example...
20 articles a week limit, rubbish!
It was great but completely unusable now due to adverts popping up. Deleting it now.

Keep getting sent to the Play store for various ads and aps without clicking on any! App is messed up today

Great service

Getting much better. The redesign makes it a much more pleasant browse. Two crucial things still missing: the weather (aren't we famous for talking about it constantly in Ireland) and some way to do the crosswords in app...
