Easy to use app, which allows a clear page view of the wonderful opera articles in good colour and no blips. Once I downloaded this app, by subscription to Opera Magazine has worked smoothly for a number of years. Much easier for busy life's with lots of travel and too much to carry. Great to be able to access old copies as well.
This app no longer recognises my account even after changing passwords etc. completely useless now. I can only view my subscriptions by logging on to the web version. 0 stars if I could
Useless app for reading on a phone. Terrible navigation, no flowing text option and text to speech just outdated robotic voice.
Doesn't seem to optimise magazine for phone, so cancelling subscription
nice seems to work together with library membership which is important
This app still needs work. I have communicated with them about a particular issue but the improvements that followed were minimal. When you do a search you get a list of results. You may not be able immediately to identify the one you want but you look at one that seems possible. If that's not the right one you want to go back to the list but you can't. The back arrow takes you back to the original search page. You can use bookmarks but the results display then isn't as good as the first list.
Appalling. Does not work. Does not recognise.
This app appears to be pointless on a mobile phone, because it lacks a plain text reading option. All I see is an image of the page which is hopeless for a reading the content. This is overcome on the web version which does provide a plain text reading option.

Much improved in recent times make this an easy way to catch up on your reading.... previous glitches and issues seem to have been eradicated....

Latest version 3.8.5 seems to have introduced issues. Latest edition of weekly mag keeps syncing every time I go to read it. Older edition sync ok. Basically means I can not read current edition when offline but can read old ones, which is not fit for purpose. Also will not navigate back to menu of all their magazine offerings, simply goes back the display I was on. Tried reinstalling to no benefit and another device has same problems. So probably back to paper at the end of subscription term.

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
