Most poorly functioning website

I’ve ever seen. Technical support is non-existent. In fact, it’s worse than nothing because, if you can ever get a response out of them, THE INFORMATION WILL BE WRONG! !
Love the TLS!

I can’t imagine life without the TLS, and the App makes it easy to read on-the-go.

this app seems to constantly lose the login data. To login anew you need the subscriber number which is only found on the printed issue. So if you are away from home and don’t have access to a printed issue, you are unable to read anything. great.
Hostile to the Reader

I subscribed to the TLS, yet am continually asked to buy the issue. There is no clear sign in option. Once it is up and running, navigation is poor - download each separate issue, see what’s inside. It’s print by other means, an archive, not respecting the possibilities of online. Great content, once you get to it.
Smooth app, great content (June 2020)

Easy to navigate & use app, with the best weekly book reviews & essays in the English-speaking world. You can buy individual issues for cheap, or use your TLS subscription to access them. The text font itself is clear and readable. A+.
My access to History of philosophy has limited
Professor Gene
Why? My subscription’s paid up. I have called and emailed multiple times for a rectification, but with no solution. It seems a technical glitch is preventing me from refreshing my familiarity with Western philosophy in the time of coronavirus.
Just provide the reviewed title at the top of the page

To view the title of the work being reviewed requires an extra click, which opens a overlay masking the review. It is a remarkably stupid interface for a periodical/app that is devoted to book reviews. I’m not crazy about the revision to the print versions layout, but it is more useful than this bad design. Why is an icon of a picture frame part of the UX? What did the designers think that means to a reader? The logic of the most basic aspects of the app’s design suggest that no one involved had ever read an issue of TLS, which is probably the case. You do need to login every couple of weeks, which is annoying. Also, the login is unconventional, requiring an account number, but not the account password. I suspect this underlies many of the complaints in the other reviews. The LRB app is faultless in comparison, although it is pretty basic. TLS should study the competition, as it is. I cannot speak more highly of the archive access, through Gale Research, but this is a subscription benefit unrelated to this awkward app.

What a great online version of a great literary magazine. The intellectual world at your fingertips. What could be better than that
