User Reviews

Users report persistent crashes and app freezes preventing reliable use. Auto-playing videos disrupt media playback and annoy users, compounded by mismatched article headlines and content. Navigating articles is cumbersome, with features like scrolling position loss and poor search functionality. Login and subscription access issues frustrate many. Despite problems, some appreciate the ability to download the paper for offline use and the printed-paper style presentation.

Pros

Ability to download the paper for offline reading, useful for travel.
Presentation of the paper as a printed version is liked by some users.

Cons

App frequently crashes and freezes across multiple devices and updates.
Auto-playing videos are intrusive, can't be disabled, and interfere with other media playback.
Article headlines often mismatched with the content or lead to incorrect articles.
Navigation issues like inability to resume scrolling position after back action.
Login problems with subscription recognition and registration errors.

I have revised my rating from 2 stars to 1 star after the latest update. The app constantly freezes. Its no longer possible to expand pictures to get a close up view. Even after deleting and reinstalling the app it continues to freeze up and crash. I have now deleted the app and have reverted to using the web browser on my phone. My wife subscribed to The Age and their app beats the Herald Sun hands down.

App keeps autoplaying videos with no way to turn off. It stops media playing which is very frustrating plus links to articles take you to the wrong article. Please fix asap
