This app is almost useless, can take an inordinantely long time to open, very unreliable, this is on a fairly new tablet on which other newspaper apps present no problem.

When this app first came out I rated it very highly in 2012, now in 2016 the app is now unusable. It crashes repeatedly after about 2 minutes. It is the same on my wife's tablet which is relatively new so the poor performance cannot be blamed on my original Nexus 7.

Can't always get the current paper in the paper section only the digital section where you can miss articles sometimes. The app feels clumsy. It doesn't felt as smooth as other paper apps. You can't share articles as per other papers. I only use this app because I want to read the Scotsman, not because I enjoy using it. Good do better.

After some problems and re installing the app, it all works well. Good content and access to the 'paper' issue is handy.

It's stopped loading after yesterday's update which is giving me the final jolt to stop subscribing and post a review. Why didn't we get Festival reviews? Why did we get the Friday motoring pages before the Festival and not after? Asside from the crud it publishes, I need local news which I am prepared to pay for. The paper paper runs at a loss so my (and everyone else's) £8 a month must come in handy, so why the disrespect?
