Reading the articles

I have been so totally spoilt by the SMH and The Age apps for iPad , so not having the ability to tap on an article and read it in text mode is a major access flaw in this app, having to enlarge by dragging is not a good enough experience, especially for a premium priced app.

Next, whilst the app is fine, again unlike the SMH or Age app, there is no access available to the web version... it’s says not a subscriber and in contacting AFR support, they say they can’t see the subscription because it comes out of Apple... this is totally weird and very unsatisfactory customer experience

Can do a lot better, people

Content is great, the app is lacking

While I greatly enjoy the articles using the app on the iPhone is somewhat lacking. It does not remember read articles: many times I read articles which are the marked grey, only to later on be marked back to unread. This makes it hard to make sure I’ve read it all. Secondly, I can’t seem to find a way to save the articles? Lastly it would be really great if there was a sync between the web site and the app. For example, I will read some articles on my PAC during lunch at work, and catch up on the app in the afternoon. Wouldn’t it be great if the read articles would be marked as such on the app. Other than that, not too bad.

Frustrating App

Dropped in to see if anything has changed. Doesn’t look like it. Nothing has improved in App or web access. Makes me wonder if developers have any pride in their work.

Very painful and frustrating to navigate different sections etc. Hard to keep track of latest articles and track your last read articles. This new version is a big step backwards. I have stopped updating, in case the updates are even worse, and since I rarely use the App Request to developers, Can the top menu bar, home, companies etc, in browser access of AFR, be frozen when scrolling down, please. If that can be done, access and reading of AFR, will be just about perfect.. Thanks
