WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Price and subscription12%

10 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Overpriced, considering release frequency, reaction time to major events, and digital product nature.
★★★★★ No button to cancel subscription.
★★★★★ big scam, I payed with google pay but can't read the articles, vorsicht Betrug!!!
Worse after an update6%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Artikel per Audio vorlesen klappt seit dem letzten Android update nicht mehr - sobald der Screen ausgeht stoppt die Wiedergabe...
★★★★★ Update 12/2024: wir sind immer noch auf diese App angewiesen, um als Auslandsdeutsche die Süddeutsche abonnieren und lesen zu können.
★★★★★ Seit nem Update werde ich regelmäßig an das Ende des Artikels geleitet während ich noch lese.
Login and account problems5%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Ein Beispiel: Unter "Einstellungen | Account und Abo" gibt es mitnichten Informationen zum Abo (wie Art und Umfang, Beginn und Ende, Kündigung oder Verlängerung) sondern "Logout" und "Profil verwalten".
★★★★★ Wenn bloß der Login für die Plus Abonnenten mal sauber funktionieren würde.
★★★★★ Gehe ich auf "Einstellungen| Account und Abo" kann ich in diesem Bereich nichts einstellen.
Crashes and freezes4%

Too many ads2%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Nice app but still see ads depsite having SZ+ 😭

No customer support2%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Zusätzlich gibt es keinen offensichtlich Knopf zum kündigen, und man muss stattdessen den Support kontaktieren.
★★★★★ Which on the other hand should be something the newspaper should support, as it drives traffic and subscriptions.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • should allow to resize horizontally 3★, Sep 30, 2025
  • You could add a pay option for not getting adverts, I just don't want any adverts at all when reading my news. 5★, Oct 2, 2020
  • More than 10 free articles would be great, otherwise an amazing app 4★, Jun 26, 2019
  • Can you please include a dark theme and more international news? 3★, Feb 24, 2019
  • A feature that could save articles directly from the notification would be great. 4★, Aug 21, 2018
  • Constantly crashing and needs a restart at every single start. 2★, Jun 10, 2018
  • Wish your standards and style were much more widely applied world-wide (I live in the US now and the SZ is sorely missed here by a paper print fan) 5★, Nov 29, 2017
  • It would be nice if the app could roll up the various notifications, but otherwise satisfied with the timeliness of the articles and the ease of use. 4★, Nov 26, 2017

Fast2%

6 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Wie in der Süddeutschen Zeitung immer wieder mit der Sprache gespielt und verdeutlicht wird ist schon fast einzigartig im Deutschen Sprachraum, sehr schön.
★★★★★ Mich frustriert allein, dass ich mich auch bei fast täglicher Nutzung der App häufig mehrmals pro Woche neu einloggen muss und meine Datenschutzeinstellungen ständig wieder in Frage gestellt werden.
★★★★★ The app is missing a widget option which shows you the latest news feed for a quick oversight on your phone's homescreen.

What users say

Latest reviews, India Google Play.

★★★★★Oct 3, 2026

Seit der letzten umfassenden Umgestaltung macht die App bei einer langsamen und/oder unzuverlässigen Datenverbindung keinen Spaß mehr: Links und/oder Platzhalter springen hin und her; vielfach öffnet ein Klick auf einen Link (thumbnail + Schlagzeile) einen anderen Artikel - nämlich den, dessen Link darüber oder darunter angezeigt wird; insbesondere thumbnails brauchen oft lange um zu laden. Und trotz Abo: Das Anzeigen insbesondere bewegtbebilderter Werbung wird scheinbar priorisiert und nervt.

★★★★★Aug 12, 2026

unstable

★★★★★Jul 7, 2026

Gute Inhalte, schlechtes UI - die journalistischen Inhalte lese ich immer gerne, aber die App ist frustrierend. Bilder und Layout werden nicht gecached, so wenn man zur Hauptseite zurückgeht muss man immer warten, bis alles erneut geladen wird. Ich finde keine Einstellung, wo dieses Verhalten konfiguriert werden könnte. In Summe: 5 für die Inhalte, 1 für die Gestaltung der App.

★★★★★Jul 3, 2026

Artikel per Audio vorlesen klappt seit dem letzten Android update nicht mehr - sobald der Screen ausgeht stoppt die Wiedergabe... schade.

★★★★★Jun 25, 2026

Voll mit Werbung obwohl man fürs Abo bezahlt. Das ist frech

★★★★★Jun 14, 2026

Wie in der Süddeutschen Zeitung immer wieder mit der Sprache gespielt und verdeutlicht wird ist schon fast einzigartig im Deutschen Sprachraum, sehr schön. Volle Punktzahl... Danke schön.
