less than illuminating
Constant typographical errors, rehashed reporting to add volume to stories. Digital version flooded with ads that obscure the screen - more flashing lights than in a casino, reporting is hardly up to the minute despite intrusive alerts. Little by way of national reporting. Feedback/comments from the same boorish quasi intellectuals who maintain running commentary of each others comments, seldom offer insight other than into bigotry and self interest. A newspaper owned by a person facing domestic violence charges is hardly worth bragging about as a source of information.

Stops working
If I read the paper online it kicks me out around the sports section. I have to close the app and restart it. It does not do this if I read via the articles ie if I donβt load the paper.
Advertorials
Far too many articles praising a business with no critique. Not a lot of journalism.
One sided reporting
I find that i prefer reading the comments online to the reporting, rather than the reporting itself. This is because the reporting is very biased, largely the options of the reporter. Many of the reporters are leftists and will not present the other side of the argument. Itβs no longer balanced reporting. CT would be better served by looking at the comments section to know what its readers think. I would probably fire most of the hard left and even hard right reporters. We need balance media , not propaganda. I remain a subscriber because i want local news, but itβs on thin ice.

Great App.
Easy to use, great source of local content.
Mistakes introduced in latest updates
Since the last couple of updates the app:
. Spontaneously closes when scrolling or changing pages
. Often shows a blank page when returning from an article which requires changing from one menu to another and back again to populate the page again
. The first lines under the headlines in the index page disappear and return while scrolling through the index
. In the puzzles, the given letters in the codeword donβt start in green but instead in black and can be deleted. It requires a reset for the given letters to appear in green.
. When the codeword is completed the timer does not stop.

Excellent
I love the Canberra Times!:) excellent news articles and I love Canberra.
For the people
The Canberra Times is a great voice for the people of Canberra
Nearly always predictably left
The Canberra Times makes a pedestal for the like minded, on which to stand and preach, figuratively. Itβs an echo chamber of the voices who have not rarely to risk much more than the support of like minded colleagues.
Iβm yet to see articles featuring the successful risk takers or those who battles with the bureaucracy that many in small businesses face.
Condemnation never is against the Canberra Elite, preferring to be nurtured in their echo chamber.

A very easy to use app
The app work well on both iPad and mobile
Stolen section of my reading pane
You have installed an advertisement on every reading page which cannot be removed which effectively steals 20% of my reading pane. It is extremely provocative and annoying especially when it cannot be removed or scrolled past and even more annoying when it flashes while I am trying to read an article. You preach that we should read traditional media, but these money grabbing tactics only force people onto social media.
You have not addressed my complaint that the permanent advertisement on the bottom of the reading page can not be scrolled past or away, it is permanent and very annoying when it flashes or scrolls while I am trying to read an article. It can occasionally be closed but the box remains which is better than the flashing/scrolling. The fact remains that my reading pane has been reduced by about 20% which is completely unethical. But ethics have long been a casualty of big business profitsβ¦.. havenβt they?
My rating of your app remains the same, and I am spreading the word.

Log in mania
This has to be the worst subscriber web site among major Australian media. I frequently have to enter my password three times to get into the paper, and if I go off to visit another web site, I have to start all over again. Navigation between pages is also very clunky, no better than standards a decade ago.

No thanks
Good format. Quality commentary. Thx
Enjoy the CT news daily to keep informed and entertained.
We have constant problem with the Canberra Time app subscription.
It will often only allow it to work on my wifeβs IPHONE, it regularly stops working on my IPad and my IPHONE itβs supposedly is meant to work on all three devices. My wife has contact the Canberra Times over the last few years but we still have this issue of it not working. It is terribly poor yet their add constantly advertise multiple devices.

Review ct - sat 11/5
Still very user unfriendly online - have been an avid reader since 1956!
Average
Not a good app. Not user friendly. Even if you havenβt used it for days, it takes you back to the article/section you were last in. Search function is also annoying - again saving searches from days ago, not clearing the search after a short period. Also no filter function on the search.
