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.

Administration problems

O I don’t know what’s going on, however, I am unable to make any comment as you keep telling I need to link it to my subscription. Then I can get a page saying “hello Kathy” at the top, but the page itself is encouraging me to subscribe. Tried turning it on an off, no luck

Some irritating problems

I agree with previous writers who find the moderators of comments a bit woke and with left-wing sensitivities. Are the comments moderated by people or algorithms? Either way, they behave like Facebook did until this year. Mostly, I cannot even open comments on my app, but I can if I open the paper in Google. Sometimes, I can open the comments in the app, but I can’t make a comment. I am told to link my app to my subscribers, but I’m not told how or where to do that.
On the other hand, it is a quality newspaper - easily Australia’s best.
