Ratings and Reviews
Great content, terrible app
Granta is a wonderful literary magazine but its disgraceful app does the content a disservice. If a magazine offers digital only subscription they should have a properly functioning app and Granta does not.
The app does not honor screen rotation so you are perpetually stuck in portrait mode, not a good thing for a tablet. The images are pixelated and photo features lump all the photographs together in an unscrollable conglomeration. Worst of all, it does not remember reading position and one cannot bookmark one’s location within an article; it’s only possible to bookmark a whole article, which is pointless since one has a table of contents for locating articles.
A glance at the reviews here show that this app has been problematic for years yet remains unfixed. It can’t be that expensive for Granta to put to work a decent coder or two and fix the app.
A breathtaking contempt for the user
Granta has always been one of my favorite publications. However I found the app totally unusable. Not only is it unusable, but Granta refuses to provide any support; emails to support are not answered. This is totally unacceptable. I strongly suspect the app does not work with recent incarnations of iOS 11. If you are considering buying this application don’t do it. It is a waste of money and will be frustrating.
I have rarely seen such indifference from a developer. Maybe it is another example of hostility some in the literary class hold towards technology. It’s too bad.
Does not work on iPad with iOS 11.3 - UPDATE
I was able to use the Granta app on my iPad mini until I updated to the latest iOS 11.3. After updating the app freezes when I access the Weekly and when I access the magazine the pages do not display, only the table of contents. I wish Granta would update the app to work with iOS 11.3.
*** UPDATE, 24 May *** Since my review, Granta has released 2 updates. With the latest version 1.0.13 installed the app appears to be working again on my iPad mini. — Thank you Granta!
