Great

Cost

Is it free

Too clunky

I’m using an iPhone and regularly when I’m in the middle of trying to scroll the screen just jumps or pauses and end up clicking on an ad and then getting diverted. It’s very annoying and frustrating. Needs to just have smooth movement. If content needs to be loaded, maybe a 1-2 second delay before opening the page. Rather than load the page then load the images which seems to make the page jump while viewing it.

Hate the new format

Layout of the new format is terrible. Please bring back the previous version. This one sucks.

Online news

New format very clunky and difficult to find actual news. Surely it would help us if the Royal “news” articles were dropped as they rarely inform & rely on gossip & rumor

Honest up to date information.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank news com.au for their on the mark coverage.

Love it

Amazing place to get my news from, love the new swiping feature.

Great news!

It’s a great service with up to date and relevant local and overseas news.

The app drains the battery alot

Use alot of battery when using the app and even closing it. Need to actually quit the app to avoid this.

I don’t know what news it shows

I am never updated to a right news. Always showing celebrities or random news. I changed the priorities. I don’t know how to remove such news

Old news on the app

Recently I’ve noticed the app is not refreshing daily. The same headlines and news article are on the app for 3 days. This was my go to news app, now I’m going elsewhere. If it doesn’t resolve soon I’m deleting the app.

Frivolous stories

I’m sure many people want to hear about the British royals but every day is just too much. Also all the gossip about actors, singers & sports people. I just flick thru quickly & then go to News24.

Great service

Very interesting and informative

Too much sport

News feed is full of sport

Polly

The Best news app.

Lazy Developer

The new app doesn’t work well on iPhone/iPad. Guessing because it’s not an app but a web view. Can’t refresh without closing it and reopening. If the developer doesn’t want to build an app then just stop putting something in the App Store and tell people to use their browser instead.

Keeping everyone informed

Love this site and look forward to,the latest news it brings.

The app itself is good but …

Need Corporation journalists need to get on with the business of reporting news instead of opining on it, especially when most are “20 or 30 somethings” with limited life and/or professional experience. And enough of the sensational headlines. How many times can there be a “twist” or “fury” a fringe issue that “enrages all Australians”? I never thought a headline could be opinion, but News Corp seems to manage it. And what’s your agenda with Harry and Megan? A story every. single. day. Really?

New App

Is nice, I like.

Laggy

Button pushes laggy and non responsive. Really frustrating
