### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-02-11*

Painfully slow and glitchy. I could drive to Tamworth from QLD and get a physical copy before the article loads.

As for newsletters, they read less like journalism and more like under-researched fan fiction made by a toddler. 👎

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear of the issue you are experiencing.  There have been no other reports with this concern.  Is this happening only on one device or computer?  Do you use VPN or Ad block?
