### 5/5 — Great Way to Keep in Touch…

*2026-07-18*

Not ‘Swiss Abroad’  but I have a long-standing connection with Switzerland and friends there. Since discovering swissinfo.ch and now the app, I feel much better informed about what is happening there, and a lot more about the country itself. A precious resource. Thanks!

### 3/5 — Don’t always get the news

*2025-12-31*

I’ve set up alerts from Swissinfo and when an article pops up I click on it and it brings me to the Dear Swiss Abroad page. It never opens to the article I clicked on and I can never find the article! I would love to keep up with the Swiss news but find this to be a challenge with this app.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2025-12-31*

I was hoping for a succinct listing of use events for Switzerland that would appear as soon as I was open the app, like in RTS. It definitely doesn't give any of that

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! The briefing at the top of the app provides a concise summary of the most important topics of the day – and on weekends, a weekly overview. You can also personalise your news selection under SWIplus to tailor the content to your interests. We appreciate you sharing your expectations with us.

### 5/5 — Excellente idée

*2025-11-21*

Faire découvrir ce pays magnifique de traditions par les moyens les plus modernes… 
C’est simple, clair, fidèle à l’image qu’on en avait déjà et porteur de promesses de conserver cette belle image.

### 3/5 — Keeping in touch

*2025-10-23*

I have just downloaded this app onto my phone and it is amazing and brilliant to be able to keep in touch,  and still have the swiss magazine for people living abroad but this is so much easier now. I won’t abandon the magazine but having it on my phone as this app is absolutely brilliant thank you very much. To. S W I

### 5/5 — Ausgezeichnetes App

*2025-03-27*

Wunderbar, das normale SRF App lässt dich keine Nachrichten sehen wenn du nicht in der Schweiz bist. Ich finde das SWIplus-App eine Super Sache. Hoffentlich kommt bald eine tolle Lösung um aus der Ferne abzustimmen. Grüsse aus British Columbia- Canada Sven

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr positives Feedback aus Kanada. Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie mit der SWIplus App informiert bleiben! Wir verstehen Ihren Wunsch - bis dahin bieten wir in unserer App hilfreiche Informationen und Unterstützung rund um das Thema Abstimmen aus dem Ausland. Wir wünschen Ihnen weiterhin viel Freude!

### 1/5 — Besoin de maj

*2024-12-02*

Je viens de télécharger l’appli, mais je ne peux la lancer. Je l’ai effacé et à nouveau elle ne s’ouvre pas. J’utilise ios18.2

**Developer response:** Nous sommes désolés que l’application n'ait pas fonctionné correctement. Depuis le 11 mars, une nouvelle version de l’application a été mise en ligne. Nous espérons que l’accès à l’application fonctionne désormais correctement. En cas de problème, n’hésitez pas à nous contacter directement: swi.plus@swissinfo.ch

### 1/5 — This update does not work

*2024-08-15*

I have not been able to update with this “error” update.  Therefore have not been able to read the swissinfo for a couple of weeks. No option to not adopt the update either on opening the app.

### 5/5 — Ältere Version funktioniert nicht.

*2024-08-14*

Leider wird die ältere Version von dem Hinweis überlappt das es eine neue Version gibt und ob ich diese installieren will. Leider kann dieser Hinweis nicht entfernt werden. Somit kann diese Version nicht genutzt werden. Schade, habe leider keine Möglichkeit auf dem Pad das neue OS zu installieren.

### 3/5 — version iPad nécessaire

*2022-08-22*

À quand une version tablette ? la plupart des concurrents- confrères proposent les 2 versions, l’iPad permet une lecture bien.
plus agréable
