Continuous crashing

At first i thought it was my old iPhone 11 storage (nearly) full causing the app to crash when i would scroll or swipe to the next article. I just upgraded to iPhone 18 and thought that would end it. If anything, worse. Reading today it has crashed 4 times in about half an hour. I am in the US so get adverts. Is that it? Even worse, adverts with audio. So scrolling, you don’t see the ad at the bottom of the screen, scroll up and the phone starts talking to you. Not great in the middle of the night when it wakes the wife. Really poor and a lot that needs fixing.

Impossible to sign in

Content is good, however, the app developer should be fired. It is rare to find this many poor reviews about the app and the login process even more rare to see how The Times is completely ignoring the evidence of this atrocious service.

Disappointed

I should’ve read the reviews before subscribing. No access to any articles. No help at all from The Times “support” or Apple. If you enjoy spending money on apps that are functionally useless, I cannot recommend this one highly enough.
