Unfortunately not. €144 a year for the sub

caviardreams

That's the Irish Times not the Times, Ireland edition.

I think sharing a sub like that outside a genuine household is poor form when it comes the IT - they are not some massive multinational who can take the financial hit like Spotify might be able to.

IT content is written by Irish journalists trying to put food on the table and they deserve to be paid for it like you or I in our jobs.

For what it's worth I am starting an 𝐈𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 family. For the premium sub, which gives access to the ePaper (an exact facsimile of the paper version) it costs €204 a year, split four ways €51.

Need to have Revolut. PM me if interested.

€1 a month for 12 months.

Actually tried to take it up but they were charging £1 instead of €1

And it being a pound instead of a euro put you off?

yosser hughes

Great value, thanks for the heads up.

Yep , that's why I am on bargain alerts, why are you here?

The offer is now €5 for 12 months , €10 a month after

The difference between a pound and a euro is about 17 cent... There's bargain hunting and there's...

Chiparus

Nice thing is not only did I save 17c per month, I saved another 7€ , so 9 euro over the year.

I signed up for the year's subscription one night when I was drunk. I'm actually making great use of it. It's a bit light when it comes to Irish content during the week, but there's plenty of sport, comment, and decent journalism to keep me subscribed when the trial is over. That said, I'm already subscribed to the Irish Times and The Currency, so can't justify paying another tenner for this.

What happens when I reach month 11? Do I have to go through the torture of having to ring a call centre to cancel, or will they offer another sweetener to keep me subscribed?

Easy Rider

I am an existing member paying 9.99 per month and I just phoned them, just said I want to cancel and they will take your account number.

Eventually they get to ask why and said I want to switch to the €5 euro, which they did no problem. After 12 months they switch you to rolling contract of 10 Euro per month, at which stage you will likely see a new deal and repeat. Number I used is 1800949690, select 2.

Just signed up this evening for €1 a month for 12 months!

Lad GAGA

Was on an existing offer of €5 per month for 6 months and last week they increased it to €10 pm on a rolling contract. As I had done previously I rang up to cancel it and following a chat they have put me on their current special offer of €5 for the year (not per month). Because I had paid the €10 last week they said I won't even be paying the €5. For a fiver for the year it is incredible value.

The old Times 'classic' app seems to have stopped working. It was nice as it was more of an epaper format, especially for the Sunday times with all the additional Irish content. Anyway, a minor inconvenience I guess.

seems to be working fine for me on ipad mini 6

i much prefer the classic - i'm on a trial of the new app that is being developed and while it is good, particularly as it gets "live" updates, it doesn't beat the classic for ease of use, formatting and layout (and as you said, the sunday times).

SOPHIE THE DOG

Stopped working for me a few days ago - but is now back working again OK.

I'm using Android (Lenovo M10) Tablet.

Mine is also back working. Also android, Samsung galaxy Tab A tablet. Relieved as it is a much better app

So the Irish daily section is now no more. What they are now offering is a weekly Irish Sunday times edition. I'm on €5 a month rate and while I was happy to pay this, even though I can get it cheaper now am not so much with the treatment of the 11 journalist. Might just leave altogether.

rf1980

not much point given all the good journalists have left now.

blacksea

Yeah, real sad for the journalists and shame to have lost the Irish daily content.

Their cheap subs probably had something to do with it also. I was in the €5 per month package then they changed it to €5 per annum for new customers.

I don't know but I think it's time to look elsewhere, will probably try Irish Examiner or Sunday Business Post.

ablelocks

i'll be keeping mine assuming the cheap subs remain - outside of the news, the supplements alone make it worthwhile at those prices

such a pity the irish content is gone - which is the exact opposite of what they told me when i renewed in March.
