Navigation

I’ve been regularly asked for my feedback on the app. but always don’t get round to it, but finally I think the navigation is very poor. Why can’t we have the main section headings on top of every page rather than having to hit the back button all The time, and then find your rereading something anyway. It really is very annoying. and I know that some of the pages at the end of each story do you take you back to a section, but there’s no explanation of the navigation? Hope you can have a look at this, Andrew.

Dysfunctional app

For years have been unable to save stories contacts to the company goes unanswered now am unable to gift articles on IPhone but still can on IPad - this App is third rate compared to the economist and others

Great Value

Excellent journalism . Superb value if you get a contracted price.

APP IS VERY UNSTABLE

Using my up to date IPad mini, Every time I close an article on the Commentary tab, the entire App. crashes. I have reopen the App and then the Commentary tab to read another article. This is a waste of my time. The same thing happens on some other tabs.

I have tried deleting The Australian App, rebooting and reinstalling the app. But, it’s no better

Sick to death of problems

App keeps crashing when you swipe back, keeps freezing. Have made numerous direct phone contacts with so called IT supervisors who’ve all tried to blame my ipad. Have down loaded the App several times, spent hours on the phone & to make matters worse they changed my password several times, and got me go change settings etc. They did everything but acknowledge the MAJOR faults in their own system. See numerous similar complaints & comments.
