    I imagine that's what they're thinking, get more people in. 3 years at €21 myself but I did get an iPad and Bose speaker out of them. Regular purchaser of the Sunday Times before that so...

    Before this app came out , I used to be able to get the Sunday times as an E paper on my ipad.

    Is there still an app like this that I can get with this subscription and can someone post up a link to it if there is.

    Thanks

    search the app store on your ipad - there are 2 apps, one is the epaper and one is the standard app version. look for the ireland editions.

    I have the "ipad edition" subscription for this I think, which is 13 quid a month and that's only for the Mon-Sat papers.

    Is this a different app with a different layout?

    Have you ever read the Irish Sunday Times or the Daily version of the paper? If so, you should pretty much know what to expect in terms of content.

    Fiver a month for this deal along with the membership offers is a no brainer tbh.

    whats the membership offers ?

    2 for 1 tickets to The Odeon each week and various other ones.

    €5 is an absolute bargain. Sure the Sunday Times alone is normally €3.

    That was the clincher for me, used to always buy the Sunday Times but stopped buying a Sunday paper altogether last year. 5 euro a month, bargain.

    Thoughts so far on package. Decent to read on tablet, not so good on phone.

    I want The Times Irish edition. What am I doing wrong?

    At the top go to Todays Sections and click Ireland.

    The best way to utilise your subscription is to download the Ireland edition smartphone app and the Ireland edition app for tablets. The smartphone app includes all the Ireland content on the front page and then the UK content through the menu at the top. The website - accessed either by thetimes.ie or thetimes.co.uk - has an Ireland tab that includes all the Ireland content and then other tabs for other sections - the Ireland tab is at the bottom but you can find it in the menu at the top and if you go to thetimes.ie you will go straight to it. The tablet edition is like an ereader but much better than normal ereaders - it resembles the print Ireland edition and has similar sections but you can click through them and there is video etc - the links to the apps should be in the introductory email you were sent and can also be found by searching The Times and The Sunday Times Ireland

    hmmm

    €16 euro a month saved

    over a 24 month "contract" that's equal to €384

    that's equal to a new ipad to read it on.

    excellent.

    and to think i had decided to cancel

    (mind you, when I call them tomorrow, I'll still tell them the reasons i was going to cancel - the epaper crashes a lot, there's often graphics missing, there's a huge preachiness in the last week or so about drinking and diet, the extent of Irish news coverage isn't as good as they had said it would be, and on the "normal" news app, Irish coverage is non-existent apart from Brexit)

    HI - each day the Irish edition does about 20 Irish news stories - about 8 Irish business stories, at least 4 Irish opinion pieces and about another 10 Irish sport pieces - When you open the smartphone app all of these should be on your front page with links to the UK content at the top? On the website all the Irish content is under the Ireland tab

    Yea - made complete sense!

    (Although, i'll miss the physical product experience: 'man-spreading' the broadsheet across a table, leaving just enough acreage for something from St James' Gate!)

    I buy it every Sunday E3 a week or E5 a month - no brainier really.


    Cheers

    I just checked. I subscribed on the 12th Jan, but it says first payment week be the 19th Jan.

    So it's a week trial. Maybe they invoice in advance for the month.

    'You have signed up for a free trial subscription from Times Newspapers Limited on Google Play. Your trial will end on Jan 19, 2019. You will be automatically charged the subscription cost (currently €5.00/month) at the end of your trial unless you cancel'

    Subscription through the Google Play store is different to subscribing online on their actual website.

    This would explain why the trial is just one week via the in- app purchase.

    Be easier to cancel your subscription through the Google play store, with the other offer you have to ring to cancel your sub.

    Can't check now but I don't remember seeing anything to indicate that the trial was only a week instead of a month when I signed up.

    Thanks OP for this. It's a great deal.

    I had been thinking of getting a paper sub as it's good to read in depth articles but found the Irish Times too dear. Maybe they'll react to this with a better offer.

    in fairness to the Irish Times, €4 a week for full edition epapers with quality journalism is still very good value.

    Hi. The tablet app is only for tablets. It doesn't work on a smartphone. There are two separate Ireland edition apps - one for smartphones and one for tablets - you should have got the links in an email when you joined up?
