Ongoing improvements and minor bug fixes to enhance your experience.

User reviews

Muddled, repetitive writing.

The title, In short section and opening paragraphs contain much the same information so the reader feels that time and attention has been wasted. The articles then waffle around from expert to expert who repeat the same view but in slightly different ways. The ABC News treats its readers and viewers like Primary School children not educated intelligent people. TheABC as a whole seems to be on a race to the bottom. They replaced the excellent The Drum with Hard Quiz, hosted by cringeworthy supposed comedian with a massive ego whose schtick is to insult his guests at every opportunity. Unsurprisingly the programme finds it hard to get participants, and so at peak viewing times it runs repeats of the same insulting drivel. If you wand decent News coverage in Australia the Guardian Australia is far better. I eatched a reporter on the ABC TV News who seemed overwhelmed by nervousness, said er and um many times each sentence and seemed to be struggling to remember what she was meant to be saying. Even the quizzes often have mistakes, today’s got the penalty difference betweennthe socceroos and egypt wrong. There are many calls from the right of politics to get rid of the ABC and SBS. WherEAS SBS runs a tight ship, the ABC with its low standards, poor quality and excessive political correctness is only fuelling the calls to get rid of it which would be a tragedy for journalism. C’mon ABC, lift ya game!

Fixing filtering

Thanks for fixing filters more.

But I have excluded sport and I still get rugby. Perhaps just include your full list of tags.

Great if you like propaganda

Might as well go get your news from the official CIA website. It’s probably less demented.

ABC is not news

The app works well technically, but the ABC no longer feels politically balanced. Too much coverage reads like progressive opinion rather than neutral journalism. As a taxpayer-funded broadcaster, I expect fair and impartial reporting. Disappointing. Do not download or use the ABC

Poor state news coverage

Oh wow, tapping ‘More WA news’ reveals a whopping one extra article. Do better ABC!
