No help completely unable to do it on the app. Doesn’t even show regular news that’s in the paper, can’t search for articles, people get other news ### 2/5 — Online newspaper *2025-02-19* I live in another state and look forward to catching up with news in Townsville, where I lived for over 40 years. Despite being an hour ahead of Qld, the ability to read the Townsville Bulletin at 5 or 6 am each day is appalling!! Someone needs to fix this issue (downloading the paper online) soon or risk losing a customer. ### 3/5 — Download options. *2024-02-13* This app used to have auto download that’s now missing. Also they have just made the download button even smaller than it was before. Would be good to have a larger button and auto download again. ### 1/5 — Just keeps getting worse *2022-02-14* Earlier versions of this app were good. Now I have to keep logging in all the time. However, after being kicked out I have to restart the app before being able to log in and the login pop up doesn’t work. Multiple reinstalls haven’t fixed the issue. ### 2/5 — Cheap software… *2022-02-09* The software works but must be old as there are no notifications when your comments are approved and go live. Also no notifications when someone comments or replies on your post. ### 1/5 — Hopeless *2021-11-17* Never been able to read anything bar the headlines ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2021-10-09* This App on my iPad is nowhere as user friendly as earlier versions. It can open on any page if for some reason you are timed out. It is overly sensitive to open an article rather than allowing you to just zoom in/out. And I cannot find a digital version of Townsville Eye - a “must” read. (Bad joke that one!) ### 1/5 — Very Low Reliability- Bring Back The It Support Staff *2021-10-01, version 7.30* Subscription refunds such be given when product can’t be delivered. ### 1/5 — A Backward Step *2021-09-28* The latest upgrade leaves me with far less viewing area on my tablet without the thumbnail option we had previously. No clippings that I can find. The bands at the top and bottom of the screen are unnecessarily large. In general a backward step. ### 1/5 — Nadam.90 *2021-09-24, version 7.30* iOS 9.3.5 now cannot open app, worked well for about 2 years. First screen shows then flicks off. ## Frequently asked questions about Townsville Bulletin ### What content does Townsville Bulletin offer?
