What users say

Latest reviews, United Kingdom Google Play.

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026

App fails to open after latest update. Still can't open even after uninstalling & re-installing. Please fix. Other apps like CNA working fine, so it's not a mobile phone problem (Samsung Galaxy S26).

★★★★★Oct 8, 2026

regularly crashes my entire device requiring a hard reset to resolve. At this point I suspect that the app harbors a virus

★★★★★Oct 5, 2026

Newer version is not user friendly, performs more like website than a proper app experience. Recently keeps crashing and hanging and it has nothing to do with my phone.

★★★★★Oct 4, 2026

Not efficient search function. Type in key words seen on paper version and the app version uploads old news.

★★★★★Sep 29, 2026

Updates worsening, zero reading pleasure, after last update, 28th Sep, apps continue to return to lst page after reading less than 1 minutes. 21st Sep 2026 apps keep returning to 1st page after reading for less than 2 minutes since last update.

★★★★★Sep 28, 2026

work slow and full of ads
