The Independent Daily Edition App Reviews

Amateur hour

I’ve given up on this. Missing pages, crashes constantly - who’s running this show?

Worst app ever?

This app is a complete waste of time. After watching, it continually crashes. Total piece of-----t

Extremely buggy

When it works, the app is ok, and is more convenient than just reading the paper version. However, its gotten buggier and buggier and at this point I have to delete and reinstall every day. Also, for the price, which is quite high, you only get a small fraction of the stories in the paper. The iPhone version is somewhat better, nd much less buggy. The iPad version is awful,

Waste of $

A clunky failure. Crashed almost every time I tried to access. Im sorry I subscribed for a month. An excellent newspaper but a thieving, embarrassing app.

Unbiased

Its good to know that there are still news reporters and agencies that are not controlled completely, like here in the United States. Thank you.

Dreadful

This is the worst UK newspaper app because even although you have to pay for it there is the same advert day after day which blocks the entire contents so most days you are unable to read the paper. A con!

Unfailingly Sane

Count on The Independent to carry the pertinent news in an unbiased way, and its fun most of the time. Its the paper I buy when Im in London, alas, not often enough!

Reliable News Source

The first and only newspaper I open of a morning.

Ruined a once wonderful app

What an atrociously bad surprise this last update has been! We have the full paid version that is supposed to let us see all of the print edition of the Independent. It used to be wonderful — just like reading the print paper. Now, however, it takes forever to download, and, once you finally waste several minutes trying to get in, it is just an edited series of articles, with full page ads stuffed in between. A lot is missing! Its not much better than the free version, only glitchier and harder to navigate. What the hell have they done, and why did they have to ruin what had been such an enjoyable app? Were disappointed and disgusted. Please Independent, rethink this terrible "update"! Awful!

Disappointing version of one of the worlds top newspapers

New version is disappointing. The Independent is one of the best newspapers for independent unbiased reporting. This version of extracts plans ads is a sad decline

A ghastly mistake

Other than being slow to load, as unlike actually reading a newspaper as one can imagine, having half the print version missing, tarted up with trashy advertisements and a totally unworthy replacement for what was a very good app, theres nothing wrong with it. Perhaps you could rethink this and give us the old one back. On second thoughts, you cant rethink what was clearly not thought about. Just give us the old one - please.

Love the content; app extremely difficult to use

Now that The Independent is only digital, they really MUST make this app easier to navigate. They should have a look at The Guardians app, which is, to me, the dream user-friendly newspaper app.

What a mess.

Now I cant even get it to open.

Easy to use easy to read

Love The Indy and was saddened to hear about its print demise. Subscribed in solidarity and support and have been very pleasantly surprised - I dont really recognize some of the reviews here. Paper is really easy to navigate and everything just works. Theres a lot of great thoughtful content and its all nicely laid out. Really appreciate the crosswords and Sudoko too. Five stars for an online newspaper done well.

Terrible

The app wont open, it just crashes every time. I reinstall it, then it works a couple of times and then goes back to crashing every time. I do pay for this service you know! My iPad has loads of memory left on it, so it isnt my system. Paying a subscription for this is embarrassing. Awful.
