## ABC News Reviews in Australia

### **--- "Old version heaps faster"
This new version is super slow to load
-- Happy_chappy2, 2025-01-01

### *---- "Rubbish"
Ever since they have changed the app it takes forever to load if it ever does.  I rarely even bother any more
-- heyhey2026, 2024-12-31

### **--- "Terrible update"
Latest update is terrible!
-- Belle_76, 2024-12-28

### ***-- "Black screen"
When opening the app home is just a black screen! Any suggestions?
-- Hegrst, 2024-12-26

### ***** "Good source of news"
I like this app it offers great reporting by the ABC, I always know that i will find reliable and accurate information around recent news important to me.
-- Jake C100, 2024-12-26

### ***-- "Latest update underwhelming"
I don’t need bells and whistles. I just want to read the news. The new colour is also too close to the BOM app colour. The Home Screen randomly goes blank and unresponsive and I have to delete and reload it. A great app just overworked and now unusable at times. Such a shame.
-- Bookbinder11, 2024-12-26

### **--- "The latest, latest, latest update"
Review after review says the same thing, the app was their go to source of news. Mine too. But after so many updates, and this supposedly more user friendly version, I am left scratching my head in disbelief. Find what you want more easily according to the app developers response. You do jest, don’t you. 
I like to read the “just in news”. Now I am faced with the top 250 items, and are they in order of “just in”? Not on your nelly.
At the top here is a news item, 2hrs old, to find fresher news, I need to scroll down, down, down the page. Oh hello there you are..6mins ago. I thought maybe somewhere I would find a place in settings where this could be fixed…NO. Refreshing the page does absolutely nothing. Disappointing to say the least.
And as for the Top News. Yes I like many Victorians, etc have tuned in to learn more on the fires. However, I have learnt do not play the video feed and then press on the update refresh notification as I am then faced with a black screen, with whoever’s voice in the background and no way to get back to that video to turn it off. 
No ABC not as clean and user friendly as you would have us believe.
-- SlowIBe, 2024-12-26

### *---- "What a mess"
The ABC app ?? The digital version of “Eaton&#039;s Mess” why the hell did you have to change what was already working fine ??
-- PAGObytes, 2024-12-24

### *---- "Updated app is poo"
Don’t fix what’s not broke!
-- El Zaño, 2024-12-24

### ***-- "New update full of bugs"
The main news feed freezes. Has done it several times now. Deleted and reloaded. Frustrating.
-- GP1974b, 2024-12-23

### **--- "Black out"
Since the update the ABC News home screen goes completely black after a period of time.
-- Lucky Pierre 2, 2024-12-23

### *---- "Horrible rewrite"
The update in late 2024 makes it harder to find anything interesting, and hides things we could already get to easily..
Now it looks trendy but is much less interesting. Can we please have the old one back?
-- swordfishBob, 2024-12-22

### *---- "New Early access format change is awful"
The only good thing about the new rebranded and thoroughly awful app update is the slide to set early access off so I can see the old format again.  I NEVER want to see the updated format again, so please revert to the much loved and much simpler to us original.  Whoever was paid for the rebranding exercise needs sacking.   If the new format is forced upon users I will just delete the app.
-- Affgjj, 2024-12-21

### *---- "Further dumbing down and horrible new “style”"
So disappointed with the new format. Who is responsible for such a muddled repetitive mess? Please spend our taxes on journalists not marketing.
-- Cairnsman76, 2024-12-20

### *---- "Absolutely woeful update"
What was broken about the app as it was before this update??? Nothing! Then why make the change to this rubbish UI? I absolutely detest it. Used to love looking at the news but now I rarely bother because I hate it so much. It’s so busy that it’s near impossible to find what you want to read. Please revert back.
-- Emmmmsey, 2024-12-19

### *---- "Not the app it used to be"
This was my go to app for news, easy clean and simple to find news articles. Now its so cluttered and I rarely bother to open the app now days.
-- Joh-R, 2024-12-19

### *---- "Awful Update"
I’ve used and loved the App for years. Latest update is just unreadable. So I’ve deleted it.
-- Garethjh123, 2024-12-17

### *---- "LUNATICS"
WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU IDIOTS DONE NOW..!!
AND YOU WONDER WHY YOUR BEST STAFF ARE RESIGNING IN DROVES..!
IS THIS FACEBOOK OR ABC….
WHEN WILL YOU WANKERS LEARN, IF IT AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT….
AND NOW YOUR HIRING AN EX CHANNEL 9 BOSS…
GOD HELP US ALL..!
IDIOTS….
-- Celtic Jedi Knight, 2024-12-17

### *---- "Latest update is r*tarded"
It was bad enough before the update, but now it’s appalling. I just want news facts, not overdramatised and politically motivated stories and clickbait opinion pieces. Legacy media and journalism have become a dirty words thanks to organisations like the ABC.
-- Worm1jz, 2024-12-17

### *---- "Stupid new design"
What a stupid new design.  Not user friendly.  Lots of silly features like auto refresh when returning. Not as compact as previous.  
Bring back the old app. 

Designer thinks he’s smarter than the reader.   Sack him.
-- Longtime ABC user, 2024-12-16
