EL PAÍS Reviews

I have been a digital subscriber to El Pais for some time and have always been able to access the content from several mobil devices without problem. But since I installed the new update I can no longer access my subscription on my iPad or iPhone. Every time I log in, ELPAÍS immediately cancels my session and kicks me out. This does not happen on my laptop, so the problem is with ELPAÍS and not with the subscription account itself. My subscription right now is worthless since I cannot stay “logged in”. Please fix this problem or explain to your users how revert back to the older version of ELPAÍS .

It is a bit unbelievable that you are about to pay €10 per month and it is not possible to login using Google in both platforms. I logged in web using Google, create an account, pay the amount for the subscription and then in ELPAÍS , no have Google options. If you use your user and password from Google, it says need to reset the password. Received the email, used with ELPAÍS and it asks me again to create a new password. Up to three times the same process. No solution.

It is very frustrating that after signing up for an annual subscription with El Pais whenever I try to access the content using the phone app, I get a countdown of the number of free inquiries that I have left for the month. When I try logging in to my account using my identifier and password on the phone app, I am told that at least one of these is invalid, yet I have no issues using these to login using my PC. Very annoying. Otherwise, the phone app is fine.

Every update worse than the previous one. ELPAÍS kick my email out all the time so I can’t read news or download the Content. If this doesn’t solve immediately I will cancel my membership. I don’t like to pay for something that doesn’t work. It doesn’t work on iPad or iPhone. BAD

Version 4.6.7 won’t open. All you get is a white page with El País at the foot of the page. The accent over the “I” in green is a nice touch, though.

First, it will ask you to memorize a 7 digits pin to connect to your Twitter, after that, the tweet cannot be send because the message is too long. But you didn't wrote one letter. The issue is ELPAÍS : it can't shortened the URL of the article from the newspaper.

Crashes at opening 😕
My 2 cents about the ads. I used to have articles spoken out loud with my iPhone on my car commute. Now reading concludes with every in page ad. I have to manually place the cursor after the ad, which I can't while driving. I know it's ELPAÍS because NYT and LeMonde work still fine.

ELPAÍS offers printed editions of the newpaper but it takes longer than usual time to open and does not allow off line storage to read afterwards. Compared to other newpaper apps, it does not offer the same satisfying experience.

The written content is good, but I would really encourage El Pais to upgrade the mobile platform experience. Audiovisual content needs to be more prominent, and ELPAÍS needs to be more interactive, appealing, and user-friendly.

But please bring back the feature that allowed the reader to highlight a word and touch "define" to go to one's downloaded dictionary. That works on many web site apps and worked on this one until very recently. Thanks.

I like ELPAÍS but when it’s open, the iPhone gets hot and the battery goes down quickly. Could you please check and correct?

With each update it get’s worse
Crushes all the time
Doesn’t open the news section at all
Doesn’t load articles
If you are testing the loyalty of your readers base, soon they are going to leave for good, honestly

Since the last update I have noticed my iPhone 11 gets really hot to the touch. My guess is there’s some background process hogging CPU. I’ve also experienced several crashes

You can't select text so you can't use the iPhone dictionary while reading. This is no good for language learners. Better just to read the newspaper in safari.

This is helping in my learning efforts.

Every time you leave an article there's a popup, absolutely excessive. I am deleting ELPAÍS. It's unfortunate they don't make a good app so I can read Spanish news from the US.

The moment I log in it crashes

I remember running this application on my iPod touch 5 years ago and how I used to love it. Today, gave it another try on my iPhone... Useless!

This new version is really annoying. Ads pop up every time you click something.

Thank you for ELPAÍS and the content. Really good one and free!

It keeps crashing when opening a link. Please fix this. ELPAÍS is useless at this moment.

ELPAÍS isn’t worth it. This newspaper censors every negative comment you make towards the Pedro Sanchez Communist government. Sanchez, a George Soros Puppet, is trying to change Spain democracy and this paper helps a lot to shut voices against him.

Adds start to play loud music, loud talks, and not allowing to close them down. Really trying us to read it!!

Plz help fix it. I can’t read any news

It nice to see the news from the USA.

Can we please get an update that includes support for the iPhone X screen? It’s been almost 3 months since the device was released! I thought maybe the most recent update would include this but it doesn’t look like it did. Thanks in avance!
