You can of course https://www.sandisk.com/ixpandflashdrive

And is it easy to watch content on these on ipads? Or do Apple restrict them?

Those things are a god awful pain in the arse to use.

Why?

Yeh, was hoping it was going to be just like android, appears not....... But Apple don't seem to do easy. One of the main reasons I've never bought any of their products. They sell fantastic (if expensive) stuff but have them way too locked down.

Buy the app nPlayer. It will play any format you like on an iPad. Anyway this is a subject for a completely different thread!!!

Is this still a good deal?

If you're only getting it for the ipad - probably not. But if you want it for the paper too, then I think it was/is a good offer...

Why?

It doesn't add to the native storage of the device. It basically has to swap files in/out

Do subscribers get the ePaper or just an app version of the Times?

Just got my dispatch email from Apple 🙂

Ye,I'm tempted as I tend to buy the Sunday Times most Sundays and its €3 so extra €2 for a full 7 day sub is not bad. Pity expandable storage is a hassle but its not a dealbreaker. One other question-if I sign up,can I access the content on my Android phone?Or is it only the iPad and Apple devices?
EDIT- Sorry,just checked their site and it says "On which device is the app available?Apple iPad, iPhone, Android phone or tablet" So thats another bonus. Is there a limit to how many devices I can access content on?

I have it on android tablet, 2 iPads, 2 android phones and the website on multiple computers, don't think there is a limit

I really like the new updated app, use it on android mainly

I asked before but don't think anyone replied, does anyone find the Irish news a bit bare?
Seems to only have a the main big stories or am I missing a section?

you're missing the whole Irish Times newspaper it would appear.

What do you mean? I only an option for the Irish Irish section on the app and it's pretty small, wouldn't be near the amount of Irish news as the Irish times or the independent

Is there a section that I haven't found?

It's possible you downloaded the wrong app. There is a UK version and an Irish version, you can download either (or both for that matter).

Irish iPad version: https://itunes.apple.com/ie/app/times-sunday-times-ireland/id978384946?mt=8
UK iPad version: https://itunes.apple.com/ie/app/times-sunday-times-daily-edition/id364276908?mt=8

I I don't think so, the app on my galaxy phone says Ireland edition... When I open it, it opens on the Ireland tab, there's about 20 Irish news and business articles followed by about 15 sports ones, they're the only Irish stories I see

Ah. I get the impression (I might be wrong on this) that the phone app has less articles available than the tablet apps, so it could be that?

Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question but is it the Sunday Times and the Times (Irish Edition) or the Sunday Times (Irish Edition) and The Irish Times that is available on the Ipad ?

The former!

This thread, I swear to god

still haven't figured out if i am missing some Irish articles/sections on the app

I've the update on my android phone and tablet, and the old version on the ipad, it hasn't gotten the update yet

But i still dont find it to be nearly as in-depth as say the irish times or independent newspapers, there's maybe 15/20 articles for irish news, similar for irish sport and similar for irish business, then theres the uk section and world news

i'm assuming the app is normal but i expected alot more irish articles, similar to the physical irish broadsheets
