Comments on The Argus for Android

★★★★☆ A Google User · Apr 11, 2014

Very useful and value for money Having read the Argus (paper version) for several years previously this app presents many advantages: (a) I don't have huge tons of paper to recycle (b) I can take screenshots and archive relevant articles (much better than cutting out), and tweet them. (c) it is cheaper to buy this app+an android tablet than buy the paper Argus for ... about 2 years (depending on the cost of the tablet). Problems: sometimes the pdfs don't enlarge sufficiently to see small print (e.g. the legend on maps), also the double page spread is sometimes dislocated + they don't send you the occasional pull-out supplements e.g. Festival/Fringe guide.

Malware Trojan found! Had app downloaded and was working fine until I got hit with a trojan by the app. Bold argus newspaper.... BE WARNED!

★☆☆☆☆ Jose Manuel Roche · Dec 30, 2019

Rubbish. I tried to read the newspaper, it asks for subscription login details but no information on how to subscribe. I checked all over the website, and even registered but didn't work. How do you subscribe?

★★☆☆☆ Vic Stevens · Jan 14, 2022

I have purchased a subscription for this app in Play Store. However, when I attempt to access some of the content, I am presented with a screen requesting login. At the bottom of this screen, I am told to restore my purchase, but when I touch the box, it makes no difference.
