## Australian Financial Review Reviews in Australia

### *---- "Still a rubbish app"
Still so called upgrades that don’t fix backward steps on functionality. Makes me so angry I think I will just cancel my sub. In particular loss of article snip feature still not put back in.
-- baj2022, 2024-12-04

### *---- "Useless, pathetic upgrade"
How to stuff up an editorially excellent paper -- do a so-called 'upgrade' that makes it really difficult to use and incredibly frustrating to navigate. What dill didn't realise that being taken back to where you were previously reading is hugely important? Now, we're all having to do multiple clicks just to find out where we were. This has been going on for weeks now and still it hasn't been fixed. Why? It has the same (lack of) logic) that removed the blue tinting to show where to get the 'plain text' version of the story. The AFR management and staff fail to read reviews at their peril. And providing no link to give feedback on the actual site is insulting, arrogant and, seemingly, an attempt to avoid criticism, or even just helpful suggestions. Such a clever move -- now, people read the app's review in the App Store and decide not to download it at all, rather than get some sensible feedback in-app.
-- KalangBello, 2024-11-25

### ***** "Quality App"
This app feels very smooth, much better than the old buggy app. Keep it up
-- David.pro, 2024-11-19

### *---- "Can’t Update the App"
Hi,
I’ve tried to update the AFR app and the SMH app and I can’t get them to work on my iPad. It completes the circle but doesn’t go to open app. Can you please have a look at the following issues with the app,
One~you need to fix, the app remembering where you’ve been when you leave it go and look at something else.
Two-the app needs to indicate whether the paper has been downloaded or has not been downloaded. It’s very hard to work out if you’ve downloaded it or not.
Cheers.
-- Petershammy, 2024-10-31

### *---- "“upgraded” app is a backward step :/"
The updated app now requires internet access to work, meaning I can no longer open app to download/load stories on it prior to a flight for reading.  Need to bring this back!
-- Brizza163, 2024-10-19

### **--- "‘Upgraded’ app reduces functionality"
The app ‘upgrade’ a few weeks ago seems to have reduced its functionality. In particular, if you leave the app, it no longer remembers which page you were on in Today’s Paper (or even which edition), which means constantly having to flip through pages or scroll through the contents to find where you were up to (if you can even remember). It’s now also difficult to see which editions you’ve downloaded, so you can be left without access to Today’s Paper if you’re off wifi or mobile access. In the previous version, it was clear from the blue highlighting where you should click to get a plain text version of an article - now I seem to accidentally click on invisible hyperlinks all the time. 
The old version of the app was far from perfect, but this latest version feels like it has gone backwards. As an avid reader of the AFR and daily user of the app, it’s become very frustrating!
-- AppleM24, 2024-10-10

### **--- "Doesn’t remember which page you were reading"
Everytime you exit the app when reading todays paper, it goes back to page 1 ugh.
-- bawa72, 2024-09-22

### *---- "The new todays paper reading experience is a step backward"
I’m rating the app not the content. 
The new ‘todays paper’ reading experience is a step backward. The old experience was much better.
The recent changes should be undone.
-- Lloyd’s review, 2024-09-09

### *---- "Easy to subscribe; difficult to cancel!"
It took me to wait half-an-hour on the phone to talk to an agent to cancel the subscription.  Cancellation should be a standard feature in managing account.
-- ICMHo, 2024-08-26

### **--- "Universal Links not supported"
Please support Universal Links so AFR links open in the app where I’m signed in, not in the browser, where I’m not signed in.
-- Not worth it 4685886, 2024-08-24

### **--- "Fix Single Sign-On, People!"
Arguably things got better over the last little while. But seriously, it’s 2024, surely there is a way to single sign-on when the app directs to web content from search or live. I’m rather tired seeing the “this article is for subscribers” when tapping on a search result.
-- Früher war alles besser, 2024-08-20

### ***** "I LOVE THIS APP"
This app is awesome, I love the articles, the journalism, it’s easy to use, the search function is great, it’s fast, it doesn’t strain my eyes, I really have no complaints. If your on the fence about purchasing a subscription I would highly recommend it.
-- Scott574745, 2024-08-17

### *---- "Did update"
I’d be excited if the app actually worked…
-- al557, 2024-07-23

### *---- "Doesn’t refresh."
I am stuck with the same online paper for days.
Have to read printed option. Please fix
-- MikeMiko66, 2024-06-26

### **--- "Meh"
Great content, but terrible app. Two examples:
- live updates bring you to the website instead of staying in app
- todays paper view can be glitchy and fairly memory intensive. This means that multitasking to another app often means losing your space in the paper when switching back to AFR
Then on the desktop (web) side, using todays paper is barely usable. The scroll behaviour is broken (as in it moves way too fast for just a short scroll on the mouse or trackpad ), and there are heavy margins that severely limit the viewing space on small monitors.
-- BrioPack, 2024-06-07

### *---- "Search function appalling"
Fix the search function it’s so bad.
-- Nels3455922, 2024-06-01

### *---- "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
-- ChandAsh9, 2024-03-26

### *---- "Page view"
The page view keeps sw itching from single to double page. Makes it unreadable on ipad air m1. Have alook at the Age app & learn from that
-- petercoota, 2024-02-26

### *---- "Can’t access App"
Requires me to update my app but my iPad is an older version and won’t allow me to update the latest version and asks me to download the latest compatible version but won’t allow me to do it!
-- gameboy12343, 2024-01-29

### *---- "Not a fan of this app"
Terrible app and articles here.
-- Leo2000KKK, 2024-01-16
