This iPad edition is a vibrant new way of reading the TLS, the leading paper in the world for literary culture. Its combination of fine writing, literary discoveries, incisive criticism and debate make it mandatory ...
The generally excellent content is let down by the poor functionality of the app Everyone seems to agree Why not just get on and fix it                 Fix it RobertCambridge
Why do I keep having to log in with my subscription information with every single new issue It s a nuisance that the app doesn t remember it         Why Touristan
It wont let you share articles And why those fusty little windows you have to click on to know what book is being reviewed     Great pub miserable app NoWayJose34
TLS magazine is superb but the TLS app is awful I am not the first to complain it many subscribers have complained about it However TLS management refuses to acknowledge it and has no interest in fixing it This is very surprising and consumer unfriendly The management needs to wake up                     The TLS App is awful 0ledzepp
I have to re enter my subscriber number every time I log on which send me running for a paper copy to find that number which makes me wonder why I have an electronic version at all     Won t stay logged in Beleaguered Reader
On new monthly plan and can t discern how to log in Why can t my account number be retained like Every Other subscription app I use                     Terrible RFGj
I am a paying subscriber and can find no way to log in with this app it insultingly tells me I am unauthorized A good way to lose subscribers     Unacceptable Duardo99
Still need to have sub number to login and still need to login all the time Award for worst app and for worst help delete and reinstall is not a solution     Still Crap bogart2
Like other reviewers I find I have to login to the app almost every time I use it This has been going on for years but the tech staff at TLS either don t care or cannot figure out a fix for the problem     Fix this App IrkedReader
No thanks log in if you can Terrible                     Bad programming james hardin
The app worked for a bit Then it refused to allow me any access and wants to charge me 2 99 to look at each issue that I already paid for I talked with customer service who assure me they can log in as me with no problem Gee I wish I could be so lucky         Just terrible Sathooni
Download fails more often than not Consumer staff takes two weeks or longer to reply to complaints Deleting and re downloading of the app is time consuming and often fails to solve problem TLS states not their problem                     Continuing Problems Jo@chelsea
App fails to download magazine content due to some kind of authorization service error Customer service claims they are working on it Makes a subscription mostly worthless This continues with Feb 17 issue     App continues to fail tmmcc33
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 won t it stay The iPhone version stays Also after their programmers figure out how to fix that they might consider including the crossword I m keeping the paper subscription solely in order to get the puzzle         Login every time Ale fed
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     Very disappointing You keep saying nickname taken
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 Can t share articles or even excerpts with spouse or friends 5 Unhelpful table of contents makes finding an article again or previewing an issue s content nearly impossible Email support however is outstanding on issues other than the above             Could be much better Youitry
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                     Just go ahead and subscribe Seawisey
If you can t offer a working app to your subscribers go back to the drawing board Requires a password change every login and still doesn t work An embarrassment for a venerable publication     Brilliant publication idiotic app Ongeblozzen
Almost impossible to access one s own paid subscription         App not worthy of its sophisticated content Ongeblozzen
The TLS app is unstable unpredictable and maddening most days Occasionally it will work without a lot of pampering and pleading if the TLS wasn t so important to me I would not use it                     No stars Nedgan
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         Crappy Yog Suthoth
Subscriber via iTunes since 2014 but no issues in 2016 are available to download TLS is unresponsive and meanwhile they ve stolen 9 99 per month from me What s the problem     Money stealing app Unhappy prof
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         Login diminishes great content Ishmael 666
Why won t 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                 Why Fardfx
Pretty awful app Keeps logging me off Pages don t turn smoothly but spastically And the front cover cannot be viewed in full but as thumbnail Who the heck designed this         Pathetic Would be Paris reader
The app is handsome in many respects the quality of the photographs is excellent But it and its sister website are hard to use And if you increase the type size you get something considerably less handsome The app can be hard to sign into             Mixed Feelings Text Problems
I can no longer access my subscription I get an authorisation failed message This has been going on for 2 weeks     Authorisation Failed Levo Dextro
Simply the worst app ever coded A global multinational can do no better than this Incredible     All the bad reviews on here are true Apxt505
Wish I had listened to earlier reviewers Purchased the digital subscription through the TLS web site in mid July They emailed a code with which I should have been able to access current and all past issues through the app But I can only get issues from mid May through the week BEFORE I bought the subscription app wants to charge 3 99 for all other issues So far no response from TLS customer service You ve been warned     You ll lose your money don t subscribe Beppolina
I have cancelled my subscription What follows is the record of a good app gone bad Original review I have not encountered the authorization problem others report The app is working fine for me While I am sure that something could be added to it I am quite happy with it as it is It combines simplicity with function in a fashion that can only be described as elegant The layout results in a degree of readability I have seen in no other iPad app I just wish it were independent of Apple s Newsstand so I could keep it right on top of my iPad home page Update May 16 2015 I have reduced my rating for this app In both this and the previous version the reader could select specific articles from the current and previous issues to be saved and read later But the previous version provided a table of contents for bookmarked articles All the reader had to do was scroll down the list and tap on the article he wanted to read The new version presents a carousel which requires the reader to swipe through every page of each of the saved articles until he gets to the article he wants to read This is tedious It might make some sense if each item on the carousel represented a new article but the carousel displays every page of each article Suddenly a list of 20 saved articles has turned into a carousel of 200 pages with no hint of the location of the article the reader wants to read assuming he remembers saving it Further articles saved under the old version are in the carousel but do not refresh that is you see the title and a blank page So a previously well functioning bookmark feature has been downgraded significantly Further update May 20 Reduced my rating again Since the Scrapbook function has been made less useful I decided to resort to sending articles to Instapaper Oddly the Instapaper option does not appear in all issues of the magazine But it doesn t matter because it turns out that this functionality which existed in the previous version no longer works In addition I had downgraded to the previous TLS app so that I could get rid of the carousel but downloading the current issue seems to have put me back on the current version of the app Further update June 19 2015 I have emailed Support with my complaints and received not even an acknowledgement There goes another star     Degraded app Dead Write
They updated the app to use in app purchases and now I can t access my current subscription that I already paid for last year In order to read the latest versions they want me to pay again even though my subscription is still active Pathetic app where the tech team constantly screws things up     Screwed me on subscription reviewasaurus
A great paper ruined online by constant repeating technical problems                     Technical glitches spoil everything rjhughes
several weeks without being able to ise TLS does not know when it will be fixed     broken not functional Jim O'D
Loved this until it stopped downloading because of authentication service problem which they are either unable or unwilling to fix Customer service is not helpful just says they are working on it Really for 3 weeks I am about to cancel the whole thing and ask for a refund     Loved till 3 weeks ago nhsandy
Same as others keep getting Authorisation Failed when I try to access issues though the app assures me that my Subscription is active I ve emailed customer service three times over past week and no response Very frustrating     Mr Colin Clout

This is an update to a previous review they have fixed the technical problems and everything works well so I am giving it four stars Why four Simpleit just isnt as interesting to read as the TLS on paper less satisfying because not as easy to browse On the other hand immediate access to the longer excerpts that appear in the print edition So I am a very happy customer overall Would give it 45 if I could Earlier review I really want this app to work The few times it has 5 stars The multiple no times no stars No download authorized I am told though my subscription is active Cant be removed from my device why I called customer service on this and they said that there have been problems since March which were supposed to be fixed end of June this is July I heard back on an email sent over a week ago saying things would be dealt with soon Hmmm Okay I have been credited for an extra four weeks on my subscription thank you but what I really want is to be reading Yes you can sometimes hit or miss download by reinstalling the app but the operative word here is sometimes              Waiting and waiting
Consider resolving technical issues out of respect for loyal subscribers How many times do I need to contact technical support with complaints about sign in issues before you fix the problem Regretting subscribing to the works You guys are aholes     Hey TLS
Not that great     Poor UI
This app is very finicky Requires repeated logging in and out activating over and again Wrote to them about it Not much improvement if any Still manageable but could be much better           Needs fixing
Great when it works Usually however one must uninstall and reinstall every time A pain with slow internet     Rarely works twice in a row
Every time a new issue comes out the app forgets who I am and I have to sign in again Deleting and reinstalling app doesnt seem to help Dearth of documentation in Settings Eg no directions for deleting issues Also no indication that American subscription numbers have an extra digit so that when signing on you should only type in the first seven TLS cyber efforts have always been dicey and this is no exception     Signin problems
Wish I had listened to earlier reviewers Purchased the digital subscription through the TLS web site in midJuly They emailed a code with which I should have been able to access current and all past issues through the app But I can only get issues from midMay through the week BEFORE I bought the subscription app wants to charge 399 for all other issues So far no response from TLS customer service Youve been warned     Youll lose your money dont subscribe
Elegant interface The storage of previouslyread issues is a plus it will take a lot of issues to fill up an iPad and a lot of issues of the TLS to wade through is a nice problem to have What marvels will the Basement Labyrinth produce next                 Terrific App
A great paper ruined online by constant repeating technical problems        Technical glitches spoil everything
Simply the worst app ever coded A global multinational can do no better than this Incredible     All the bad reviews on here are true
Great publication but difficult to connect to your paid print subscription           Wonderful publication problem connecting to subscription
A beautifully designed app and the TLS is extremely well edited these days It loses stars because its too much of a bother for me to read I used to be able to download issues I cant anymore it rejects my password It flees from me that sometime did me seek Like some other commenters I can uninstall and reinstall the app That works but not permanently I cant be bothered to do it regularly I can use Safari with my iPhone and read the text in less attractive forms Or theres good old paper I cant believe an obvious bug receiving other complaints hasnt been fixed Cant you bring in the Obamacare team           Great but elusive
there have been lengthy periods where the app simply does not work when you try to download an issue it says authorization failed customer service explains these gaps in service as technical problems it is simply not an acceptable level of service for the price        often doesnt work
As noted by others all you get now is an authorization failure Why am I paying for a digital subscription if I cant get issues     Doesnt work
Every time I try to download I am forced to delete thewhole app reboot and reinstall the app I want this to work Getting an alldigital edition was a big mistake     Utter disaster
App fails to download magazine content due to some kind of authorization service error Customer service claims they are working on it Makes a subscription mostly worthless     App continues to fail
I have a print plus digital subscription and the app almost never works Says I dont have access Can reinstall and sometimes that helps for maybe one issue Theyve been trying to fix this since March Whoever is working in their subscriptiontech dept are a bunch of bumbling idiots However I did subscribe one month directly through Apple and everything worked flawlessly Strange Im going to cancel with TLS     Terrible
They updated the app to use in app purchases and now I cant access my current subscription that I already paid for last year In order to read the latest versions they want me to pay again even though my subscription is still active Pathetic app where the tech team constantly screws things up     Screwed me on subscription
Same as otherskeep getting Authorisation Failed when I try to access issues though the app assures me that my Subscription is active Ive emailed customer service three times over past week and no response Very frustrating     Mr
I too have it Customer service gave me a voucher number but that wasnt the problem They havent responded to me since I reported that the problem was ongoing Glad to know others have it not glad that I cant read the digital version of the paper     Authorisation Failed Issue
Starting with March 18 2015 issue the app stopped working and although it recognizes the subscriber login and acknowledges that the subscription is active when I try to download an issue I get an Authorisation failed error Ive contacted customer service they reproduced the error and forwarded it to management and I was told to keep checking the app and wait till they fix it Now a new issue is available and still no fix I am afraid to delete the app from my ipad because I dont want to lose the other issues but keep deleting and reinstalling it on my iphone Its becoming very frustrating to be paying for a subscription and not be able to access it Please fix the bug Added later At first I also got a voucher number which seems to be the default response when you contact subscription services But voucher number is only for accessing online archive and once you configure your user name its not needed It would be nice if issues were actually browsable like in NYRB or LRB but if you have digital subscription only I dont see how you can access issue contents outside the app Its really frustrating and it seems that TLS is not taking the issue seriously given the lack of response     Authorisation failed BUG
several weeks without being able to ise TLS does not know when it will be fixed     broken not functional
The content of TLS is absolutely fabulous of course And this app is much better than the kindle version of TLS But there are annoying problems Mary Beards blog A Dons Life isnt sized for the screen iPhone 6 plus The lines are too wide and you have to scroll left and right over and over to read it That completely ruins the fun Ditto for the TLS blog The occasional readings audio is also screwed up If you happen to leave the screen when you are playing it you CANT get back to the controls and so the thing just plays on until you kill the app The navigation mini page bar keeps popping up on the bottom of the page It must pop up unwanted maybe 30 50 times as I read through the paper each week And finally Id love it if I could keep my place from reading session to reading session           Needs some obvious fixes
I have cancelled my subscription What follows is the record of a good app gone bad Original review I have not encountered the authorization problem others report The app is working fine for me While I am sure that something could be added to it I am quite happy with it as it is It combines simplicity with function in a fashion that can only be described as elegant The layout results in a degree of readability I have seen in no other iPad app I just wish it were independent of Apples Newsstand so I could keep it right on top of my iPad home page Update May 16 2015 I have reduced my rating for this app In both this and the previous version the reader could select specific articles from the current and previous issues to be saved and read later But the previous version provided a table of contents for bookmarked articles All the reader had to do was scroll down the list and tap on the article he wanted to read The new version presents a carousel which requires the reader to swipe through every page of each of the saved articles until he gets to the article he wants to read This is tedious It might make some sense if each item on the carousel represented a new article but the carousel displays every page of each article Suddenly a list of 20 saved articles has turned into a carousel of 200 pages with no hint of the location of the article the reader wants to read assuming he remembers saving it Further articles saved under the old version are in the carousel but do not refresh that is you see the title and a blank page So a previously well functioning bookmark feature has been downgraded significantly Further update May 20 Reduced my rating again Since the Scrapbook function has been made less useful I decided to resort to sending articles to Instapaper Oddly the Instapaper option does not appear in all issues of the magazine But it doesnt matter because it turns out that this functionality which existed in the previous version no longer works In addition I had downgraded to the previous TLS app so that I could get rid of the carousel but downloading the current issue seems to have put me back on the current version of the app Further update June 19 2015 I have emailed Support with my complaints and received not even an acknowledgement There goes another star     Degraded app
This app is continually denying me access to new issues the digital subscription has been a complete waste of money     Nothing but problems
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 nonfiction books                 Top Book Review
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     Degraded new version
TLS is of course superb But the app must be continually deleted and reïnstalled with reëntry of subscription particulars in order to download anything Terrible nuisance reminiscent of The Economist app when it was new Likely the app designers will eventually fix this bug For now however Ill grin and bear the inconvenience           Have to keep reïnstalling
