Factiva Customer Insights

1. Overall very nice experience.Great collection of materials but needs a less convoluted (i.e. in-app) method of favoriting publications, saving lists, etc.Bit clunky and need to re-sign in from time to time using an email-generated code.

2. I would suggest the chance to save the favourites newspaper and also the chances to read an article as a whole and not broken down into several partsGreat content.

3. You cannot browse either because each publication is split into sections that don't align with the actual newspaper.

4. It is very difficult to find a specific article because you cannot filter for the date or publisher.

5. Randomly logs out every couple of weeks just when you need it.

6. The app also crashes frequently.Not entirely satisfied as it's saying something dummy: that I'm logged in from a different device or browser.

7. 👍🏻👍🏻very nice, the business standard news can be added.

8. Read some articles from the app a couple of weeks ago.

9. Not really speaking to the UI but basic functionalities keep breaking now and then.All at one place.

10. Poor browse and search features.

11. Then you need to log in via your desktop VPN to re-log in.
