Redesign makes it impossible to listen to whole edition easily. I cancel my subscription. They go back to the old design. I take out a new subscription. A week later they revert again to a design which makes playing the whole edition impossible. Feel like I've been mugged.

Terrible. The contents page has disappeared. The "listen to issue" has also disappeared. This is so terrible that I have considered cancelling my subscription.
