Such an annoying app. Can't access downloaded issues unless you have Wi-Fi.
When are these digital subscription companies going to understand that very few people are going to pay $12 a month for $120 a year for digital access! They sell our habit information. It's sad the magazine is secondary.
It's buggy. When I listen to an article and switch apps at all, it will cut out and I have to go back to the app and only the app to have it play. Even then, sometimes the audio still cuts out. Please dear God fix this.
Poor design and terrible UX on Android. No way to access or even browse the latest In the Dark episodes as only a single past episode appears on the Listen tab, and if you try to listen just from the main page, the playback always stops after a few minutes, but never resumes playback and there is no way to download the recording so it just burns through mobile internet. None of the tabs list many previous articles, so you're stuck with whatever their useless algorithm throws up. Really amateur.

Constant glitches on audio playback. Unable to log in and use the digital part of my subscription. Customer service replied with generic advice that doesn't apply to android or international subscriptions. Didn't seem to even read my message. Edit: I've been in touch with support.
