User reviews

Recycled News

The app has improved over the years from a technical perspective but the user experience is still way off where the international competition currently sits. The ‘latest’ section is a mixture of old news and editorials taken from the other sections which is just misleading, so once you’ve scrolled down this section you’ve seen everything there is. Content is wafer thin these days. There is no chance to contact the paper, you can offer comments now which is mostly a plus. Monday is OK at least we get some content from the London Times. An app with a grand vision supporting about as much real content as the local scouts newsletter, possibly why the paper is so focussed on parliament because its the only thing happening and that’s where the Australian’s journalist lives, shame about the rest of the world.

Downloading Saved Stories - messaged DONE LOAD FAILED - Try Again.

I cannot download ‘saved stories’ after severely attempts and un installing and re installing your App.
I have tried your ‘HELP’ tab but that is no help - if not in FAQ - bad luck, go away.
So assuming it’s my error, what am I not doing to download ‘saved stories’ because all I have saved is the title of the article.

The Australian App

I cannot get comments on my app. It consistently tells me an error in downloading comments try again later.

App keeps crashing when using the back function

The app closes when you use the Back function(<), these has been consistently happening for over a month and hasn’t been fixed. It makes the frustrating to use, it seems there is always not working with the app. Seriously considering cancelling my subscription if this the best News Corp can.

A very disappointing and disgruntled subscriber!

Hostile when unsubscribing- if they let you

So disappointed with their treatment. Truly unAustralian. Wish I had cancelled earlier and have told everyone I know.
