Nieuwe podcast player is geen verbetering. Mijn pixel stopt de player na x minuten als deze in de achtergrond draait. Hierna weer verder gaan is niet te doen, ik moet de podcast opnieuw openen en naar de goede tijd scrollen Update: probleem lijkt opgelost, heb het eigenlijk maar 1x gezien bij het afspelen van de eerste editie van de nieuwe economie podcast 'zo simpel is het niet'
I've an older Android version (5.0.2 on an Asus tablet). The NRC app worked well enough till recently. It hung completely the Saturday March 5 issue (magazine?). I completely reinstalled it today - a mistake as it now only tells me that it needs an internet connection and I should try again. The tablet has a connection, but it appears the app cannot use it. Please fix this!
Waardeloos... waardeloos...waardeloos...App was al slecht, maar ik kan nu ineens ook niks meer delen (share icoon...de app crasht dan). Slecht slecht slecht. Iedere keer opnieuw inloggen etc etc. Het deleten en opnieuw installeren helpt ook niet. Cache, data deleten..helpt ook niet.. Heb ik het woord "slecht" oh...en "waardeloos" al gebruikt??? Ga aan je werk bij NRC! Stuur de app bouwer goed aan! Stuur de klant niet met een kluitje in het riet...update die nare app! 18 dec: wow.. iets gefixed!
When you are paying for a newspaper you should not have auto playing advertisement videos in the app. I'm here to support quality work and that's why I pay. I don't want to be traced by ads. If it's not enough, please increase the monthly fee. But don't sell my data and play ads.
