Courier-Mail/SMail Edition for Android
Took out 12m sub with free samsung 12m ago with the intention of downloading paper and reading it on public transport. Yeah right, most days the paper has disappeared from my tablet by the time I board my ride. What a scam, some reputable newspaper needs to report this SCAM way of delivering faulty subscriptions.
This app works well for few days, then it has trouble opening and i have to uninstall and reinstall to get it to work.
App closes for no apparent reason. Takes at least 4 or 5 attempts to download digital editions. Not worth money and in process of closing account.
Constantly fails
Ordinary
CM sold a subscription to a poorly optimisatised app that barely runs on the tablet included. Does not pre load news, does not run smoothly, does not meet expectations. AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Thankfully i decided to look and see if there was an upgrade available prior to giving it 1 star. The upgraded version at least loads the content i am subscribing to with a new quad core tablet. My guess is your database needs optimising and images used need to be less than 100KB each. Other news apps i access on this tablet load much, much faster. Keep up the improvements and ill gladly give 4 stars.
App closes or freezes every second use even after several re-installments.
After a lot of trails I have to say this is the worst app I have tried to use.
Useless. Crashes almost every time I use it. Why don't they fix it?
Digital edition doesnt refresh properly
Will not open on older tablet
Poor
No good for reading. Paper version at least can be used for toilet paper or wrapping fish and chips
Practically every day it freezes on the front page. Recent update to remove bugs had zero effect!
Rip off waste of time never downloads
Used to be able to access Rewards on ap and now I can't. Why?
Often doesn't download all or some of the news.
Pictures dont download to view off line.
Current update worse than previous. Quite an achievement. Update: has to be reinstalled every time I want to download new print edition since last ' upgrade'
The Live News does not load on my new Samsung S7 mobile phone. Customer Service finally responded after my 6th email - too slow to respond and did not fix it!
Not a particularly user friendly or useful app. Crashes, freezes or simply does not download articles on a regular basis.
This has got to be the most unreliable app I've ever used. Unfortunately I'm stuck with it, due to my 12month subscription to the Courier Mail. NEVER AGAIN.
Not for the first time Live news won't load and reinstalling doesn't work.
Stops working all the time and the lift outs often don't work. The call centre is useless.
The only news it will often give you is"unfortunately courier mail has stopped". OK when it works but loses offline editions regularly so they must be downloaded again. Now appears a bit more stable but still a pain in behind having to redownload.
Does not work at all on my sony tablet and crashes regularly on my samsung 5. Ten times in the past week.
Doesn't work. Google should not allow CM to claim it works on Android 4.0 and above.
About as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike. Do not waste your time. Samsung Tablet user.
Crashed totally. Even worse, the Call Centre has very limited knowledge. Worse yet, there is no alternative option when the CC cannot help. Suģgesting YOUR customer goes back to J B Hifi for assistance does not cut it in the world of actual customer service.
Crashes more than it works
The lift outs section doesn't work. Recently it crashes without fail on certain articles.
I have to fully reinstall average once a week to avoid live news from crashing.
Useless!! Will not work on my Samsung tablet.
Can be very frustrating

The Courier Mail (another MURDOCH rip -off)...promotes themselves as being the leaders of NEWS.....WELL....the news IS .....their DIGITAL PRINT REPLICA .....is a total disaster ....fulll of bugs, ...getting to be as costly as a seven day print edition with NO payments to deliverers or newsagents,NO print press costs NO newsprint roll costs ....NO payments to printpress maintenance employees,NO costs of PRINT ink ,and getting news from TV channels who issue news the evening BEFORE they go to press......we are being DONE>>>DONE>>>>DONE....
Very poor. Unable to download. Waiting for the download of the paper now for about 20 minutes
Continually crashes.
by U####:
This app is completely useless. Don't sign up for a subscription unless you like to repeatedly download the same file. Frequently crashes. App seems to get stuck on trying to download old back issues so sometimes you cant even download. Subscription being cancelled today.
