The Saturday Paper for Android
An excellent way for consumers to pay for media. I used to routinely clear my cookies to bypass the paywall because I couldn't afford a one off subscription payment. Since discovering the app I am really happy to pay $3 for a single issue, it's a small impost and I get the satisfaction of supporting independent media in a way too few organisations facilitate. Kudos to whoever designef this system, hopefully it will ensure The Sat Paper prospers well into the future.
Very high quality journalism, but as a subscriber I'm sick of dealing with having to delete literally hundreds of images after each issue is downloaded. It's now reached the point where I will now only access TSP from a desktop device. Please fix this and host the images locally, or provide an easy solution to delete images once an issue has been read. Fix the problem and I'll reinstall the app.
The files the app downloads clutter up my downloads folder. Can you not put them in their own folder or sub folder somewhere?
I signed up for 30 day free trial. I lasted 30 minutes, then I had to buy an issue $2.99 or subcribe to read further.
Fixed crash on Android 6
Galaxy Tab 2
It would be good if I could read already downloaded issues when I don't have a network connection.
Works awesome :)
Great read but app very slow to open. It gets slower as time goes on with an increasing number of papers.
I love The Saturday Paper, however this app does not allow me to read it! It won't let me past the opening screen.
I really love the interface, very easy to use, and easy to read...except if i am lying down. The app will always rotate the screen even if i have set my phone not to rotate. Very frustrating when you are trying to read in bed. Others have mentioned this in reviews, but no responses have been posted by Schwartz Media. Will this be addressed in future updates? Edit 12/5/15 i love that it is much easier to read in bed now. Thank you
Enjoy the app. Very clean and readable. Thanks.
Brilliant content, intuitive app.
I've been using the app for about 2 months now and have it installed on two android devices. On my phone (LG G3 lollipop it crashes all the time when resuming from another app or device lock). I've reported crashes via the crash report but have seen no updates or responses). It's fine on my samsung note tablet.
Several months in, the app still doesn't obey system orientation setting: i.e. phone is set to not rotate, but TSP turns to landscape anyway, making reading in bed difficult.
Because app only does 1 thing: crash!??? Moto g 2nd gen 2014 4.4.4
I'd love to see some better font size options. Large is not a lot larger than normal.
Just simply not working.
Whilst not particularly intuitive, this app is off to a decent start. Biggest gripe is that it doesn't obey system orientation setting: i.e. phone is set to not rotate, but TSP turns to landscape anyway, making reading in bed difficult.
Love the paper..hate the app. Have installed/uninstalled etc etc numerous times but it just keeps crashing. I'm on a Samsung Note.
Yes my internet is switched on, but this app will not see it.
App does not load up. Keeps asking me to connect to the internet first. I am connected via WiFi, which is how I downloaded the app and am writing this very comment. Unlucky!!
Crashed twice on startup in the first few hours of use. Menu that gets you to most of the content is hard to find - took me quite a while to find it
On my Nexus 10 tablet, dies not keep my screen rotation locked as per my Android settings, which is annoying.
The best app I have ever used.
Simple,fast to load, intuitive interface. All good now that the server gremlins are fixed!
Can't open! Keeps on demanding Internet connection, even though 3G and wifi are enabled.
Great to see TSP in a readable online format.
Well worth the wait for this one. Terrific app. Really fast, very user friendly, and has that element of class about it that you'd expect from the Saturday Paper. Can't wait for the Monthly one too
This would be very welcome.
Easy to use, nice layout, much better than some of the other newspaper app's out there
Hi guys, love the paper but after purchasing one issue, the app crashed three times and appears to have caused an issue with the Google play store app. Every time I opened the google play store app, it would tell me that I needed to enable background data and refused to start. Issue resolved after I uninstalled the TSP app. I'm running app on a Galaxy S3.
Crashed twice in the first few hours of use. Most of the paper's content is missing although I'm a subscriber and logged in.
