The Japan Times Customer Insights

1. I have a paid subscription however every time I try to sign in, the page flashes content and signs me out again.Add night mode(dark theme) and the ability to save articles for later viewing within the app.

2. Instead, I read free online news sites.Simple to access and the content is good.

3. I PAID for the contents and they still block the content anyway.Decent and helpful app but it would be much better if an article wouldn't reload itself after I went to another app and open said article again.

4. The only reason I rated only 1 star is in hope it will catch your attention and you'll add night mode & save article for later view button within the app.The app always ask me to turn off ad blocker.

5. Worst subscription ever as u cant even access the content.

6. Although I live outside Japan, this allows me to keep up with all news in Japan.Was working fine until at some point stopped loading the news.

7. Looks good on the phone screen and optimized well.Useless unless you have a subscription.
