Hate the new layout, there are no images on most headlines and a tonne of content that I now can't hide (opinion pieces, what to eat, what to watch, what to read and on and on). The old layout was so much more concise and nearly all the different content types could be turned off (if required). I can't comment on the opinion pieces or lifestyle related articles, but the news reporting was always detailed and unbiased. Such a pity the new design forces pointless content on users.

The latest update wiped out all my homepage customisations and removed my curated notifications. I'm not impressed that the paid subscription only works on the mobile app. They're trying to force me to pay for another subscription to get rid of ads on pc. There's no way to upgrade or change existing subscriptions, no way to keep user settings when the app updates, just a total disregard for their users.

what have you done with new layout it's awful. Why have you got rid of the easy to read main headlines at beginning?? When I open a news app I want the big headlines first thing, now I gave to go to several different drop down menus to find the important news headlines??? Sadly if it stays like this I will cancel my subscription. Please go back to being a normal newspaper with the days headlines at the beginning.
