Difficulty in entering subscription details. I downloaded this to a Nexus5 and a Nexus7. I am already a National subscriber. On both machines when I tried to enter my details I was presented with a part width screen which wouldn't scroll, so I had difficulty in entering Email & Password details. It was worth the effort though and the result is better than reading via a browser. It's particularly good for reading offline. Update: Works fine on Nexus 9. Reading The National, this morning on my Nexus 7 was a joy.

Handy app... I like this app, the pages load faster, can zoom into the pages much better making it easier to read, being able to download and read offline is a godsend, nothing worse waiting on any app loading when your out and about with a slow internet connection or dead spot. Also, handy having a "share" option included... Cheers 10/10

Excellent newspaper. The only newspaper in Scotland and England, which reports news accurately without bias.

Despite having a subscription to the National online the app will not allow me to sign in stating that my details are invalid.

Since joining the Android 17 beta program on my Pixel 8 Pro, I mostly get just the blue screen and then the app freezes / goes no further. Update, I did email the address given about this issue, but didn't receive a reply.

Must be movable to sd. Downloadable apps must be sd movable as they steal internal phone space therefore pathetic excuses as an app. Avoid this app until as movable.
