A once great app, now slow buggy anfd crashing Love the newspaper and the app was once great. Now the morning newspaper takes ages to load and keeps crashing out or reloading. I don't know what has gone wrong. And yes, I have completely unistalled deleted residual files and reinstalled to no avail. This is so annoying I am questioning my subscription.

STILL a poor quality app For many years many issues have gone unresolved. Buggy. Navigation is clunky, just horrible. Shows headline only, no summary, in an awkward thumbnail type slider. App does its best to discourage use of the traditional and far more usable newspaper layout. That layout has no auto download option, it often gets stuck on old issues (requiring a reinstall to resolve) or has download issues. No way to comment or read comments in app. Generally a poorly designed app with a forced awkward and forgotten interface.

Consistent problems Experiencing the same issues as others. The front screen comes up but I can't access the articles without reinstalling every day. Annoying and frustrating that I can't catch up with the news through the app. Used some of the tips I sourced with limited success. When is does work it's great
Unreliable. Bugs reported but un-fixed. Print edition/News Stand frustratingly unreliable. Current day's Print Edition doesn't show up... Refresh the screen - no change. Downloaded Print Edition disappears erratically from the Library, requiring repeat downloads. Reported it/uninstalled it/reinstalled etc... no change... still stuffed! About time someone took a long look at this App and it's development as well as News' response to customer complaints. This App is the key to the extra subscription fee being charged for the Digital/Print Edition.

Does not work on my Android phone. Can read the headlines but tapping on a story mostly brings up a blank page with no content visible. . If you reinstall it it works the first time you use it but not after that. So to use it you have to reinstall it everday.

I'm in the middle of reading an article from an earlier edition, I lock the screen and go do something else for a few minutes, and it resets itself to the front page of today's edition. I then have to renavigate to the article. I HATE it when apps do this. It makes it almost unusable. You also can't bookmark articles for future reference. You share from the app. Pathetic really. Update: also often asks to login regularly. Update 2: now insists on an Internet connection, even though I downloaded it to read later. Getting worse and worse.

Constant Crashing And Won't Update If you look at subscribing to download the Daily editions don't waste your time and money. Slow and crashes on wifi and near impossible on cellular data. Waste of time and money
Inconsistent and irritating This is a great newspaper to read however the application is infuriating in that it doesn't matter how many times I try to access the digital paper it will not load!
Great quality news let down by a disappointing app experience. Experiencing many of the same issues as other users. Contacted customer support who did not have a solution.
App icon not showing annoying to have to search in google play to 'open' the already (re)installed app (every OTHER icon in the world shows on my phone)
Not good enough The app works in some fashion. But it has serious problems. (A) Forgets the last download and you have to download again. (B) The headline links hardly ever works. (C) The screen zooming is not enough when reading the print edition. Not good enough for a relatively expensive app.
Daily problems now Need to exit and reload all the time. This used to be much better than recently. Considering reverting to the print edition.
Very buggy App is full of bugs. Slow to load. Will often have downloaded digital editions disappear and go back to old editions. This is annoying when you want to read the current paper with no wifi.
The worst app i have ever used. Terrible customer support. Continuously crashes. Files disappear after download. Customer support don't have a clue
Doesnt work on marshmallow Deleted, reloaded, restarted etc. Doesnt matter what i do, just cant get this app to work any more. Anyone got any answers?
The content is good; however, I have tried finding ways to share an article, but I just can't find it. It would be nice if there was a share link on the app so we don't have to keep on logging into the internet all the time.
I load it but there is no login access for me as a subscriber: all that happens is that I am trapped in a program loop back to 'Open' or 'Uninstall'. After my fourth attempt achieved the same result I feel 'UNSUBSCRIBE' is the right action!
Horrible app, biggest gripe (on top of issues mentioned below) is the inability to access the navigation menu. For some reason this has been removed in a recent update, makes the app very difficult to use. Only way to skip to another section is to swipe through every article. Tried to contact The Australian tech support but they could not assist.
I like the content, but presentation is clunky. Today's news don't appear when I open it in the morning. It's yesterday's issue. Very difficult to navigate.
Very basic news app, can't read comments about stories, can't make comments, truncated stories, in a word, crap!
Buggy. Articles don't display. And not just one or two, but some days i will click on three articles before i can read it.
Too may bugs Newspaper often only loads a few pages. Not a patch on Newsreader.
Very buggy, sometimes have to restart my phone to get it to work.
Poor design Samsung tab 3 I used to enjoy reading The Australian in Press Reader in the digital print edition. I thought that the Austalian app should be a step ahead of this, but it is no where near being better. In actual fact it is a pain to use. It is slow, hard to load new issues, and cannot even get the right day of the week!
ANDROID experience App freezes and needs to be restarted often. No big deal but it makes reading the paper online a less satisfying experience.
Cannot write code for Android If you have an android tab beware of this app. It's fine for iPad and Windows, but Android is the poor sister whose coding needs are ignored, especially in the Mind Games section.
Slow to load have to reload again if want to read later which makes useless if no wifi
No doubt my device is to blame ... Regularly shows only a blank screen where an article should be, even after recent upgrade. Possibly worse now in fact. And I'm a paid-up subscriber, so why do I have to put up with ads? Not impressed, might cancel if it doesn't improve soon.
Does not recognise email and password Does not recognise email or password on second attempt to open. Record subscribed on three occasions using same info - account details show three separate accounts. Did not get email confirming any subscriptions. I don't get the paper version as it is too big - have a 3 months free subscription for digital version but won't be subscribing for paid version if his app does not improve.
Worst newspaper app in the world Get to find out yesterday's news on your phone, in real time! I'm not kidding: it actually updates daily. Don't do it. Spend your hard earned elsewhere.
Website design is hopeless Cancelled my subscription after 2 days. There are loads of more intuitive sites to gather news from that provide up to the minute news ( 12 hour lag on updates ??) . It's a shame. .. it's such a great newspaper with a hopeless digital interface
