Always Balanced

Amongst all the noise of right wing controlled media the ABC comes through with balance to set the story straight.

KEEPS ME INFORMED

Keep me informed and allows me to choose what I wish to know about.

Confusing

I get ABC notifications with news heading on my mobile Home Screen, which don’t match the story heading once you click on the notification - what’s with that? And then there is a story heading with no apparent story/text or link below it. What is going on? Otherwise it’s fine but please clean up these issues.

Detailed Reporting

Detail without attitude, and personal opinion clearly directed to a point of view.

Current

Good to have the up to date news and current affairs at my fingertips in in

Love the ABC app

ABC is my first port of call for news & entertainment. I read it daily & greatful for its coverage of all sorts of news & arts.

US Sources

Please consider your choice of sources for election interference.

Brennon and Comey, your choice of options as a resource, are about the worst two resources available.

Don’t get sucked into the Kool-Aid of the left.

My go to!!

I always tell my kids and friends if it’s too good to be true check it with three different sources. ABC BBC and sbs news. thanks ABC you’re doing a good job with the funds that you have. Love ABC breakfast you have strikes a good balance

Doesn’t work well with latest iOS 27.2 .

I’ve removed the app because it is fairly useless with the latest Apple update. Wrote to IT support and they only told me to do what I’d already done. Remove and then reinstall, done that 3 times now. Have just deleted the app completely and will get my news from the Guardian as I have no trouble with that app.

More bad news at abc

Looking more and more like mainstream news. News turned into drama, fear, shock and horror

Far left bias

It is disappointing that the public broadcaster is blind to its far left bias.

It’s time

ABC needs to shift to subscription model

Political

You ask in today’s paper how to reduce the tension in politics. It’s you publication that stirs problems. You don’t report the facts you sensationalise the news.

Just poor journalism

I’ve always trusted the ABC for its coverage but it’s becoming bite-sized bits of trivia.
It’s hard to get an in-depth perspective on any of these topics.

Most trusted news source

The best and most trusted unbiased news source

Foreign reporting is poor

How can the ABC intend to report objectively on the Middle East when the correspondent is based in Israel.

Top shelf

Most comprehensive coverage of current affairs

ABC News

Best news service in Australia

Most trusted, but….

Excellent app, most trusted news source in Australia, maybe the world. My go to for current news and events. Article selection, and opinion of most reporters is somewhere between centre/left and left wing. Should be more balanced. Still the best though.

Where would we be without the ABC

The ABC is undeniably the most reliable and most independent news source in Australia.
