Journal Le Monde App Reviews

On an iPad2 with AT&T 3G, will not complete loading any issues of the journal. I can get a part of the content, but not all of any one. Frustration.

Keep in mind that you have to pay for each issue you want to read, which I did for a while. Not only I takes ages to download but most of the time you cant read the bloody paper as the app wont work at all. Now Ill have to delete the app and lose all the issues Ive purchased. Im French btw but I have no trouble to say that this app is a real shame. Le Monde, you should fire those whove created it, your image is at stake. Amateurs. Update: I gave it another try today...bug again & another .99 p wasted. Whats wrong with you people at Le Monde, arent you just a bunch of "inutiles". Shame on you.

I would LOVE to purchase and read Le Monde through this app - the presentation and content is excellent - but it still will not reliably load content. If I uninstall the app, and then reinstall it, it will download perhaps 1 or 2 issues. PLEASE fix this, so I can be a regular reader of Le Monde! Its unbelievable that such an otherwise excellent app has such a horrible bug. Réparez ce si vous plait!!!

I very rarely have any problem with it. It would be nice to be able to flip to the next page in the text mode instead of scrolling down.

After paying 17 Euros for the subscription on the app store, I try to enter the fields to create the account. After entering the userid and password, I try to enter the other required fields. The app immediately crashes every time. The subscription money is lost; the app, useless. NOT impressive!

You are just purchasing the interface. There is no content that comes with the $0.99. You have to purchase each individual paper / section.

It used to be good when reading on my IPad 2, but I thought with the new IPad 3 and its retina display the resolution would be a terrific boost, but the opposite happened!! It is VERY SLOW in showing a clear image of the pages..... Even tough it is previously downloaded , it seems that it doesnt have enough memory to handle the resolution the retina display has to offer. Plus: it crashes constantly. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Cannot connect to my subscribers account. My info is correct; I just get stuck with the spinning loading wheel, then nothing else happens!!

Its hard to imagine anything being worse than this. The app runs on both iPad and iPhone, but you have to buy each edition twice, once for each device. When you buy an edition, the immediate response is "an error has occurred, please try again later." At first, you could just tap the edition again and it would download. Now the error seems to be permanent. Oh, Im sure the problem will be fixed in a week or two, but I wanted to read todays news TODAY! The problems dont end there. I purchased both the May 1 edition and the May 2 edition, only to discover that they were identical and both dated May 2 in the text. When you go to a new page, it takes forever to display. You have plenty of time to go get a fresh cup of coffee between pages. This also happens when you resize a page or move to a different article. Oh, it also refreshes the page at random times, for no apparent reason. Youll be reading along, and the whole screen will blur-out and the excruciatingly slow display starts all over again ... Kerchunk, kerchunk, kerchunk ... Time to go wash the car or mow the lawn. If that werent enough, the app fails completely at random times. Youll be reading along, and whoosh ... Good bye! The app is just gone. So who did win that presidential election anyway? If this app were my only source of information, Im sure Id never find out.

The new approach by flipping pages horizontally is nice. Jumping from the index on the left hand side to the content is convenient, but please work on the stability of your app. This is a disaster, it crashes permanently. I keep sending reports, I hope someone take them seriously.
