### 2/5 — Intrusive Ads

*2025-11-06*

Was a good app until they introduced an animated bottom banner ad that you can’t close. If I’m paying a subscription fee I don’t expect to have to put up with ads that annoy me while I’m reading the articles.

### 1/5 — Poor and useless

*2024-01-03*

Open the app .. have to login .. but it doesn’t open the account in the App .. every time you want to read an article .. sign in again … utterly pointless App

**Developer response:** Hi, Sorry to hear of your experience with the App, Please contact our support team on 1300 131 095, option 2 or email subscriptionsupport@austcommunitymedia.com.au and they will be happy to assist you with your concern.

### 5/5 — Local information

*2023-08-04*

As a news tragic I read the Age and listen to the ABC every day. As a balance I also read the Addy. This keeps me fully informed of my local area doing’s and happenings.

### 2/5 — New format

*2023-07-29*

I do not like the new like format as it will encourage readers to just read the pages they are interested in. It makes the paper disjointed and nothing flows.
This may work in the city but country people are different.
Keep the format as it was and we the readers will be happy

**Developer response:** The new App is further improved for viewing purposes.  Please contact our support team on 1300 131 095, option 2 and they will be happy to assist you with your concern.

### 1/5 — Keeps locking me out when I am a paid subscriber

*2022-08-07*

### 1/5 — Log in

*2021-11-26*

I have been a subscriber for several years but I keep being locked out from the information.   If this is not brought to a head I will cancel.
