### 1/5 — GCB App

*2026-02-16*

One word…Useless!

### 1/5 — Downloads are always delayed

*2025-05-19*

Downloads are always late to be downloaded compared to the Courier Mail, Herald Sun.

### 1/5 — App is unreliable & customer service worse

*2025-04-24*

Problems, problems and more problems using app on iPhone. All current iOS and app software. Has never worked on one of our phones, and after two years doesn’t work on another. Request support help from News Corp and copy and paste responses are irrelevant and useless.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2025-01-06*

Fine if you want biased conservative opinions instead of actual news, yet another LNP mouthpiece. Same old articles for days.

### 1/5 — Great paper but….

*2024-11-27*

Each days paper doesn’t load automatically into my library. It used to, but doesn’t anymore. The Courier Mail app, which is made by the same corp., is much better- I’d recommend it over this one.

### 1/5 — hard to cancel

*2024-11-26*

You can’t cancel your subscription through the app, you need to call them to cancel it. Guess what no one answers the phone

### 5/5 — This

*2024-10-27*

Is all goods

### 2/5 — A bit ordinary

*2023-08-30*

Loads of content but no search function. I was trying to find an article and just had to crawl menu pages. 

Mobile app slow and some pages just didn’t load (yes, my internet is working fine).

### 1/5 — Slow

*2023-07-12*

When accessing customer account function, it takes several goes and many minutes to get in. Painful.

### 1/5 — Bugs galore

*2023-04-29, version 9.0.3*

Very buggy. It freezes constantly when I try to access the full story. Very poor performance.
