Has lots of interesting articles. Most are unbiased and have sources so you're able to check and do more research if you want. They have photos to go along with the articles too. And they're not just all about the UK, they have international articles.

It's a bit hard to work out what is where and not as good on my not-all-that-old phone than on the computer. But I love the informal style and the enthusiasm of the historians for their subject.

Difficult to set up initial account due to (admitted) bugs in the app. Once going, fine,fast and easy to navigate. Edit After os install to Android 13 (don't know if that makes a difference), I can neither access my account, login or get past the subscription choices page. I have tried all the suggestions from the support service including login through web, uninstalling app, changing password etc. No change. They now tell me I should contact apple store. Cerray not going to pay for this! Edited

The design and idea is good, however there are some bugs in the app. When I save the article and go to my saved articles it does not appear there after refreshing the page. Furthermore, sometimes when I open the app it shows me to buy a subscription although I have bought. If you fix these issues then it would be great.
