The Times: UK & World News - Latest Quality Issues
Android
Dec 13, 2024
As a Android user there are huge issues with this app. I understand that is not the same experience with the IOS format. My phone has no updates pending, and I have unistalled/reinstalled the app to no avail. The Times IT section take the Horizon Post Office approach "no issues at our end" despite a low approval rating, within the Google app store. Other news outlet apps fare a lot better. I shall await a response on my review, and if there is a continued emu response will cancel my subs

Version 4.6.12
In settings i have selected “keep latest edition only”. However i recently had to delete the app and reinstall as it had stored 12GB of editions on my phone. This setting is clearly not working correctly. Every time I go from the app to the home screen or lock my phone then reopen the app it restarts and I lose the article I was reading. It's quite annoying.

Constantly crashes
App crashes on a regular basis. Seems to be looking for updates. Deleted and reinstalled and behaves exactly the same

Uses too much storage
App takes up over 12gb and no ability to clear the cache. I already have the ‘keep latest edition only' checked but makes no difference.

Bugs
Can't even open the comments section on my iPhone for months. Also takes up over 2GB (my largest app despite turning off save all editions in the settings, no option to clear the cache).

Slipping
There's almost always a technical fault with the app and tbh there's been a real drop off in quality recently. Gone FT!

Doesn’t delete old issues still not fixed?
I have reported this a long time ago, I select “keep latest edition only” in settings, however this app still accumulates large amounts of data. Otherwise a great read - well presented on the app - thank you

What is this app doing with data in the background? In the 20 days of December, it's used 70.3GB. In the foreground it's used 2.17GB. That is ridiculously high and points to a significant problem. To top it all off, the editions don't actually download properly, so when you lose data, you can't read the paper!

Useless. Keeps booting me out and making me log back in again. Subsequently contacted by Times and given advice to uninstall and reinstall. I have already done that multiple times with no effect.
