The Times Literary Supplement App Reviews

New issues are failing to appear for download. Links to app support are broken. Very tiresome.

Why wont this app remember a subscription? Every time I download a new issue I have to re- log into my account with a subscriber number. A nuisance.

The content is terrific, of course, but having to dredge up my sub number every time is a hassle. Please learn to recognise me, TLS app!

Subscriber via iTunes since 2014 but no issues in 2016 are available to download. TLS is unresponsive, and meanwhile theyve stolen $9.99 per month from me. Whats the problem?

Requires constant re-authorizing. No obvious way to delete downloads. Poor customer service response. TLS gets a very generous C-minus for this ill-conceived effort.

The TLS app is unstable, unpredictable, and maddening most days. Occasionally it will work without a lot of pampering and pleading, if the TLS wasnt so important to me I would not use it.

Almost impossible to access ones own paid subscription.

If you cant offer a working app to your subscribers, go back to the drawing board. Requires a password change every login and still doesnt work. An embarrassment for a venerable publication.

The new version of this app has degraded crucial features. It is no longer possible to send more than a picture of the first page of an article by email. What a shame. Now there is yet a new version and it still does not allow readers to send and share articles. All you can send is still just a snap of the page the article starts on. What a shame that the app remains a disappointment. All similar apps (NYRB or LRB) allow this. Why not you?

The Times Literary Supplement offers me a quality and style of commentary I otherwise cannot find anywhere else. Treat yourself to a delicious dessert of ideas that have consequences. Bloomington, Minnesota, USA

1) Too high a ratio of trivia to important matters; 2) Too many articles by second-rate leftist academics; 3) Too often I have to sign in again despite having a continuing subscription; 4) Cant share articles or even excerpts with spouse or friends; 5) Unhelpful table of contents makes finding an article again or previewing an issues content nearly impossible. Email support, however, is outstanding, on issues other than the above.

I paid a lot for this app but their crazy verification system means I could rarely access it during the past year. I had to keep rewriting this negative review because they refused multiple nickname attempts. Will not renew

The app itself is wonderful. I just loaded it a week or so ago and love it. But I have to log in again every time. Why wont it stay? The iPhone version stays. Also, after their programmers figure out how to fix that, they might consider including the crossword. Im keeping the paper subscription solely in order to get the puzzle.

This app is terrible. I am now re-installing it and it is still only halfway after two hours. This after a month of problems accessing content and half a dozen emails and two phone calls.

I must delete the app and reinstall for every new issue. Messages to app support have yielded nothing beyond auto-responses.

My issues will not download for the last several days due to problem with authorization service. If not corrected in next two days I will set renewal to off.

Newstand apps are generally improving in design, but the TLS is the best in terms of effortless usability. The price is a significant over the airmail edition. Wonderful to be able to read it here in Japan.

A very useful way to be informed on new and selected Books.

Works great for me, accessing old issues isnt slow like with the LRB App

The TLS is the most respected international book review. The app is well designed and is a must for anyone who wants to read scholarly reviews of the best new fiction and non-fiction books.
