Anyone regularly using the PressReader Windows App regularly?
This morning it suddenly locked me out saying Access was no longer available and to contact customer support (which I did).

In the end they said there was a problem with the App and to use a browser which was successful. Has anyone struck the same thing?
My partner used it early morning without problem, but an hour later was also locked out. Re-installing the app/Changing password had no effect.

Much prefer the App to browser view.

I use the Android app. No issues. But not helpful as you are wanting feedback from a Windows app user

I use it in Windows/browser and just checked and it seems fine

EDIT - Installed the Windows app, logged in and could browse The Press just fine.

Browser versions work just fine....... The version from apps.microsoft.com doesn't for me which I've used for over 5 years. I've just uninstalled and re-installed it once again. It won't accept my subscription sign-in. Are you a monthly subscription user?
I'm getting used to accessing it through Chrome now, though it insists I sign in every time.
