The Telegraph: UK & World News App Reviews

Review

Lots of basics missing to make this a fully functional update app.

UK TELEGRAPH APPLICATION

Could use the array of usual suspects in tool kit.

The Telegraph

The app is practical. I can not subscribe to the Telegraph due to banking sanctions on Iran.

Inherent Instability

The amount of times this app crashes is really frustrating. When it works first time, it great, but that is not often. A number of bug fixes have not really resolved the automatic download function or cycle time that occurs when the app is opened. Please, please make it better

Reading on iPad

If only the IT department at the Telegraph was as good as the newspaper but so frustrating to open and update. When will they read the reviews and fix these issues?

Does not work

Currently does not work. Running current OS. Have tried shutting down the app, deleting it and re-downloading. Cant send a message because that requires the app to work. Even when it did work, the updating was slow and prone to crashing.

Worst. App. Ever.

Dont bother, it doesnt even open.

Unusable!!

Crashes on opening. Unusable.

Too frustrating

The product if it can be accessed it wonderful. The inability to get the app to open is not. My feeling about my $13.00 investment in this app is awaiting resolution of this MAJOR bug....

Love the app, but very fragile

Still buggy as hell when you try to use with no Internet connection. Just refuses to launch.

Disappointing

Slightly better. But still fails to load every time and when it does takes to long to download.

Good design, but still unstable and impractical

This is one app that is just not there yet. Crashes much too often. Always requires an Internet connection, such that downloaded articles cant be read offline. This in spite of a good design and nice touches that cant be found in other e magazines such as nighttime reading (white text on black background).

Good Read

I enjoy being able to read the Telegraph on my iPad but wish it looked more like the paper. Other magazine apps are like reading the magazine. This newspaper app is not quite there. Having said that it is still worth it as it reads well and is fairly easy to navigate.

Good with flaws

A bit surprised at some of the other reviews. Its not lightening fast to load, but if I measured it compared with a walk to the mail box, its ok. Im not sure were getting the full newspaper, which given the price at $150/ year seems a bit off. Good material, Telegraph standard of journalism to the fore. Suggestions. - The "Sunday " content seems very thin. My recollection of the print editions in the UK was a much thicker Sunday edition. Why cant we write a letter to the paper? Would seem to be an easy feature to program and would enable expats to contribute. In summary, a decent app, but dont be short changing the subscriber on content. If you asked the question "are we getting as much as we can or as little as the Telegraph can get away with", were too close to the latter.

Disgruntled

Paying for my subscription through ITunes. But, the Telegraph demands to know my digital Telegraph password and username. Since I registered via ITunes and not through The Telegraph, I am paying for a product I cant access. Emails to their customer "service" yield no response.

Gone downhill since last O/S release

Use this app with a digital subscription but since the last O/S release it hasnt worked very well. New editions dont appear until 24 hrs after publication and the support desk hasnt replied to three requests for assistance. Used to be pleased with my subscription but not anymore.

Zero Stars. To sum up support.

Long time Telegraph ipad subscriber. All was well up until about Sept-Oct this year when one only received the newspaper for the day before - couldnt get todays news. Back in early October reported - response was we know about it, only affecting a few users when the moon and stars align...no so. Repeatable problem. No response. Deleted app and ended subscription. Will turn my interest to my other subscriptions - UK Guardian and The Times. Telegraph was a great paper, too bad about this.

Horrible

Unable to access current days newspaper.

Broken

Once again after an update you break the app so that it crashes immediately on opening. Only this time when I delete the app and reinstall it still doesnt work. When are you going to learn to do thorough testing on an update before you release it.

Great content and presentation.

I love this paper. I just wish the app was more reliable.
