The Independent

HIGHLIGHTS

If you are Android owner,you now can download The Independent for free from Google Play. The application is designed for use in English language. It weighs in at only 10MB to download. The new The Independent app version 5.0.8 has been updated on 2014-11-27. The Apple Store includes a very useful feature that will check if your device and iOS version are both compatible with the app. Most iPhone and iPad are compatible. Here is the app`s compatibility information: 1.6 and up

App functions well enough but latest update yet again has barely any features of the website including the section its named after Stories are often old or out of order and saving stories for later reading does not sync between app and website Unable to search or read by author like e g The Guardian app A very poor app has got worse Much much work still needs done with this     Boab Fallon

Fine apart from the fact that live blogs don t load but presumably are trying silently because this new version suddenly eats a vast amount of data Needs more control options in the settings and a way of providing feedback             Alan Watson

Since update better looking app but had drowned 5gb of data in a few days even though I don t watch the videos If that continues I will have to cancel my subscription         Damien Gorson

Only 3 stars and that s only because of the news content The latest uodate has removed the ability to choose which sections to display half of the sections now don t load Very poor update can t see any so called improvements put back the previous version             Andy Marshman

Such a shame that a major newspaper with such excellent articles has an app that doesn t show galleries even though it says they are below and there is no apparent desire to sort this problem out Says update in the corner and you have to click on to update or you lose it Amateurish and shocking     Howard Smith

Some items don t open don t know why a bit rubbish when you re paying     Craydon Proudman

The news is good but the app is not There are problems with updating the contents Sometimes I open the app and it is all up to date other times a small pop up appears at the bottom which you need to tap to update but if you don t catch it in time you are stuck with old news Sometimes there s no way of updating Please add a manual refresh option I ve been using this app for a few months now and this is still happening Is anyone from the Independent actually reading this         Elizabeth Jane

One job failed can not read the news articles I ve paid for I am interrupted every other article in the middle of reading its already downloaded text with the whole article being replaced by the message Oops Cannot load article content this time Oops indeed given the content was already downloaded Even if this were fixed the lack of buffering for offline reading lack of refresh control and lack of search not to mention other sensible features makes this a really crappy news app     Aeron San

the app won t update and is still stuck on July 24th stories on August 11th     Eoin Macdonald-Nethercott

disappointing doesn t update easily I seem constantly stuck with yesterday s news             Lindsay Llewellyn-MacDuff

Finally found a UK newspaper that reports facts instead of reporting the political views of the editor                     Seamus McMillen

Supposed to be independent but clearly left wing editorials         David Richardson

Indy Live worked This app is useless unless you want random news items ordered entirely by time of posting rather than by any kind of category Yes the items ARE given a category but these are not contained in any kind of collection not even chained through links It s just an un searchable tag The description says the content can downloaded for offline reading It can t     John Edwards

I hate the fact that most of the articles listed are locked and require a subscription Also the World News section is gone I used to check the old app multiple times a day Don t see myself bothering with this new one at all Kind of a pointless app now     A Google user

Downloaded this because the website is lousy with annoying autoplay videos and logs me out every day for no reason unlike any other website Don t bother the app won t even let me sign in and even the free content is locked in off unless you subscribe which I couldn t if I wanted to because I can t log in     Stanley Denning

Bad app No notifications about important news no auto updates just pop up with with update button no comments lack of categories that are available on website version and probably more nos As a premium app we expect something better Make it better Independent         Gracjan Deresz

Crashes half the time and the other half it ll take a long time to show empty white pages where content is supposed to be displayed I paid for an online subscription and was expecting rather better Waste of money     Bas van Schaik

What s the point of a news app that is constantly out of date doesn t provide notifications of breaking news and doesn t even appear to have a defined update schedule if you re alright paying for 1 2 day old news then this is the app for you     Christopher Austin

Used to be my paper of choice Not sure whether it s the way it chooses which stores appear top or something else but since it s been online only it appears to just be click bait Quite sad really because it used to have real balance         Ed Stephenson

Search engine doesn t find anything Just appears to keep searching forever Am using an HTC m9 with its latest os     Jamie_ Walker

I use news sites all the time The Indy has absolutely nothing exclusive on offer at all plus they advertise behind the paywall anyway Some die gracefully and some die like this Good riddance Brand avoidance at the print stand too for being so greedy in situations where I am the one with the money where also Reuters and AP will always be free and have news first Poor app offer an insult     Lucas Sutton

A solid but unfussy app giving access to impartial news reporting                     Eryl Bassett

Great content as always from the Indy and a much better app than the previous version                     Daniel Petrie

I admit to be hooked Great paper Suits my needs to be informed and this handy app does the job                     A Google user

Good free news App No problems with access                     A Google user

Easy to use gives interesting points of view                     Sarah Heaney

I guess it had to happen one day You can t have such great content for free forever     MR

Paywall has been brought in It s going I ll use the website instead     Paul Potter

Free news and written well Thanks                     Franco Cargius

Probably the best newspaper website for the uk                 Keith Richard Kirwan

Everything blocked Now useless     Paddington Wood

Good source of news And independent no pun intended                     Jacek Czachura

News should free you can make enough revenue by advertising and not making the adverts intrusive             Colin Brooks

how to change it to in Urdu please reply us                 Zafar Iqbal

It s really interesting                 Muhammad Nafiu Salihu

Independent minds for those who pay     Angelo Orru

A different perspective for a fair price Hoping the current ownership doesn t interfere with its independence             B H

Is there a search engine inside the app I can t find it     Marc Llobet Capardon
