### 1/5 — Signing in

*2024-04-11*

The sign in system every time is annoying 
Every other platform keeps you signed in or doesn’t send you back to you email every time

### 5/5 — Belinda Mead

*2024-04-05*

I subscribe and read the Border Mail on my Computer at work every day so I know what’s happening on the border.

### 1/5 — New format for on line view of Border Mail

*2023-08-20*

The Border Mail has changed it’s layout for readers of their on line paper.
It’s nowhere as easy to view as the previous version, now set out in 2 pages in stead of 1.
This was done without any consultation with the readers.

**Developer response:** The new App is further improved for viewing purposes. Please contact our support team on 1300 131 095, option 2 and they will be happy to assist you with your concern.

### 1/5 — The upgrade is rubbish

*2023-08-18*

Has 2 pages on the screen of my iPad when I turn it so the print is smaller to read unless you expand it.Zits comic strip only has 3 panels and we have lost all our other comics not happy.

**Developer response:** The new App is further improved for viewing purposes. Please contact our support team on 1300 131 095, option 2 and they will be happy to assist you with your concern.

### 1/5 — New app not made for iPad Pro and is useless

*2023-08-01*

On an iPad Pro there is more white space then content and the thumbnail image beside the headline is so small it’s not viewable.

Opening a news story takes forever and I’m running an M1 chip. Please bring back old App or I will be cancelling my paid subscription very soon.

Update: Due to an inadequate and a generic Cut & Paste response from the developer I will now be cancelling my paid subscription.

**Developer response:** The new App is further improved for viewing purposes.  Please contact our support team on 1300 131 095, option 2 and they will be happy to assist you with your concern.

### 5/5 — Border Mail Web

*2023-07-29*

### 5/5 — Cannot upload app

*2023-07-28*

My older version iPad OS is 12.5.7 so I cannot update it ,but I am very happy with the border mail layout as it is .....
My wife’s iPad is OS 16.6 and we are not impressed with having 2 pages on the screen !!
