Awful app ### 2/5 — App is not working as it should *2026-08-13, version 9.15.3* For weeks now the app has been playing up when scrolling down. It’s as if the pop ups are affecting the loading. Often just hangs ### 2/5 — Poor Standard *2026-08-04, version 9.15.3* I have been reading the CM all my adult life but have just had enough! The stories are all negative and you publish rubbish comments. You say they are being edited but obviously not when you see the poor spelling et. Also negativity is taking over our world. Please lift your game or I will be cancelling my subscription!! ### 2/5 — Bloated pages *2026-07-12, version 9.15.2* Every screen is now covered in oversized pictures and / or oversized print for headlines. We now have to scroll more than ever to find items of interest. ### 3/5 — Used to be good - Now not so much *2026-07-04, version 9.15.2* Recently the quality of games has become unreliable ( Sat 4/7/26 Chasers puzzle simply not there for example). Plus the number of articles that obviously no one proofreads is a definite sign of dumbing down of journalists. ### 5/5 — Finally *2026-07-04, version 9.15.2* Finally the app has reached 21st century standards! I like the puzzles as much as the news… the most recent crossword puzzle is actually decent to use, and i like the other new puzzles too. Nice to see a more modern appearance for the news items. ### 1/5 — TIME TO SAY GOODBYE *2026-07-03, version 9.15.2* First they removed the comics, then they became an activist publication solely for the benefit of the SE corner of this great state at the expense of the Qld regions, and now they have completely ruined the puzzle section. Nah, it is not worth the money any more…. After many decades, it is time to move on I think. ### 1/5 — Subscription 40 years … no more *2026-07-02, version 9.12.1* Read the room CM. The demographic keeping you afloat are paying for digital that requires upgrades for devices we cannot access. The recent price increase will be the end of CM . Shame ### 1/5 — Clunky app that the designers refuse to fix *2026-06-21, version 9.14.0* This shoddy app is not fit for purpose. It expects the reader to stick to reading the news in one go, because if you so much as open another app, it will close the newspaper and require you to restart the process. This juvenile approach to navigation is a misfit in today’s multitasking world. The app creators are lazily milking the CM subscriber who is forced to use it as there are no other alternatives! I would give it ½ stars! ### 1/5 — Latest release does not allow downloads of past issues *2026-06-11, version 9.14.0* Latest release does not allow downloads of past issues due to scrolling issues as the page is too big on a iPad ## Frequently asked questions about The Courier ### What kind of news does this app provide?
