### 1/5 — The poor APP that it is!

*2021-10-11*

The last release of 21st Sept proved IT do not have a grasp of what to do or to test releases before they are given to customers...as of 11 Oct some 3weeks later there is no solution..the APP starts and closes within 3 seconds...this is an insult to the many loyal users...get with it IT!!!

### 1/5 — Sight

*2021-09-28*

It’s very difficult to download news paper after the update already trying 10 minutes to get it downloaded before i go to work

### 1/5 — Underwhelming service delivery

*2018-05-15*

Underwhelming service delivery. This app does not allow download of the facsimile copy of the paper, even though I have a subscription to the paper. Very disappointing - different to the Herald Sun, The Age and The Australian! Facsimile copy of the Weekly Times paper is only available on the web, not on the app, unless you pay again via iTunes subscription - a ripoff!
