Bloated pages

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.

Used to be good - Now not so much

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.

Finally

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.

TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

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.

Subscription 40 years … no more

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

Clunky app that the designers refuse to fix

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!

Latest release does not allow downloads of past issues

Latest release does not allow downloads of past issues due to scrolling issues as the page is too big on a iPad

The courier mail

I am disgusted that I can no longer use the Courier Mail on my iPad because it is now does not have the capacity for this app.

There is nothing wrong with my iPad and now that in retirement I am expected to buy a new iPad for no real reason. What a waste of money and resources.

No real words to describe this idiocy.

Very difficult to unsubscribe

Subscribed using the $1 for two month to see one article, though it would be easy to cancel but turns out you have to call them to cancel, it claims you can call on the weekend but you cannot, I think the idea of this is to get you to subscribe and forget about it, so they can take your money. I have waited 2 days and am still yet to be able to call them during working hours to unsubscribe DO NOT SUBSCRIBE IF YOU INTEND TO UNSUBSCRIBE

It’s rubbish!

I haven’t been able to get my recent Comments “My Activity” for SEVEN MONTHS, despite following all your advice and keeping the App version updated.
Seriously thinking of stopping my subscription. And much of the journalism is rubbish. Employ journalists with experience and a proper education.

General comments section

Would the Editor consider a general comments section, as comments are now for specific articles only. Need a separate section so comments can be made for general issues such as standard of reporting, which articles can comments be made on and the like.

Terrible to use

This is an incredibly annoying app. Given you are trying to read , it constantly refreshes itself.

Riddled with glitches

Deleted it and stopped my subscription. Continually stops sound on Apple Music with pop up ads. keeps logging me out and there’s a pop up about viewing recipe’s that’s stuck on the home page.

Problems.

Whatever you’ve done with the embedded video is hopeless. Continually opening up a black screen as I scroll through on my iPad. A very frustrating experience. My subscription is at risk if this doesn’t get fixed.

Super annoying. Reverts to the top after every story read

Why does the stupid app revert to the top of the list of stories (refreshes) after reading every story. Constantly scrolling back down to find where I had got to - just painfully annoying.

Won’t work for older apple ipads

The current release cannot be downloaded on my still working iPad and you do not appear have have available the older versions that do work.

Outrageously bad

It’s appalling that this app continues to have technical problems. Today you can’t download the digital edition - this is what I pay for! The automated message just says “try again later”- yeah well thanks but you’re not providing the service that I’ve paid for. Disgusting service.

It's ok I supposed

I can't edit my news and delete things that don't exist anymore , it's advertising in the middle of main page is a link to porn ,

Refresh annoying

The refresh is so annoying Everytime you read something it goes back to the first story.

Terrible

News Corp should be ashamed of this app. It is incredibly buggy, it takes forever to load, loses connection or can’t connect, won’t save preferences, logs you out and is non responsive when you try to login resulting in the need to close and restart the app a few times to load back up. It’s just terrible.
