## Canberra Times Reviews in Australia

### *---- "Stolen section of my reading pane"
You have installed an advertisement on every reading page which cannot be removed which effectively steals 20% of my reading pane. It is extremely provocative and annoying especially when it cannot be removed or scrolled past and even more annoying when it flashes while I am trying to read an article. You preach that we should read traditional media, but these money grabbing tactics only force people onto social media.
-- ppauljh, 2024-12-22

### *---- "Log in mania"
This has to be the worst subscriber web site among major Australian media.  I frequently have to enter my password three times to get into the paper, and if I go off to visit another web site, I have to start all over again.  Navigation between pages is also very clunky, no better than standards a decade ago.
-- Prince kropotkin, 2024-10-17

### ***** "I’m just just me"
I’m just just leaving my moms
-- FindingGrace, 2024-10-13

### ****- "ct"
No thanks
-- Why waste my time with this, 2024-10-06

### ****- "Good format. Quality commentary. Thx"
Enjoy the CT news daily to keep informed and entertained.
-- Lucky Phil 37, 2024-09-14

### *---- "We have constant problem with the Canberra Time app subscription."
It will often only allow it to work on my wife’s IPHONE, it regularly stops working on my IPad and my IPHONE it’s supposedly is meant to work on all three devices. My wife has contact the Canberra Times over the last few years but we still have this issue of it not working. It is terribly poor yet their add constantly advertise multiple devices.

A very disappointed long term customer. Brian
-- Disappointedbigtime!!, 2024-09-05

### ****- "Review ct - sat 11/5"
Still very user unfriendly online - have been an avid reader since 1956!
-- Snaddyo, 2024-05-11

### **--- "Average"
Not a good app. Not user friendly. Even if you haven’t used it for days, it takes you back to the article/section you were last in. Search function is also annoying - again saving searches from days ago, not clearing the search after a short period. Also no filter function on the search.
-- DioneQBN, 2024-03-07

### ***-- "I enjoy the content but the app needs improvement"
Please, please, please allow me to jump between hyperlinks to different articles without automatically logging me out of the app each time.
-- Pankration89, 2023-07-22

### ***-- "Yeah its Ok, but frustrating"
Generally its OK……..however I get that news sites need to advertise to make money, but when the advert sits in front of and over the text  of the article you are reading (thereby making that article unreadable) it is very annoying, especially since you still need to subscribe to the paper.    Grrrrr fix it or lose a subscription
-- Wodenboy, 2023-06-05

### *---- "Slow app, ads over usability, no dark mode"
Almost makes me want to unsubscribe. The web app is even worse.
-- majura, 2023-06-03

### ***** "Great app"
Works well, loads articles quickly, everything is easy to read, great app!
-- damienvancoke, 2023-05-31

### ***** "Lacks user friendliness"
The placement of news etc is haphazard and ads add to difficulty in following articles.  Excess space allocated to ads and racing information would appear to receive little viewing and are therefore no different to junk mail I receive in my mailbox ie waste.
-- BadgerBubble, 2023-05-25

### *---- "Very average app"
This is one of the cases where the website is actually better than using the app. Also the subscription cost is wild. I have to recommend a pass on this one

Edit:
They make it has hard as possible to cancel your subscription. You have to call them
-- Pro-Lapse of judgement, 2023-05-21

### ***-- "Historical issues now messing with it"
Since the latest upgrade the main screen keeps timing out trying to download older episodes, failing, and slowing down operation. Please introduce a setting to control old issue download
-- mary-46647744776, 2023-04-15

### **--- "Hopeless"
I click on a link to a story and this app takes me to the previous story I have read. This is a fundamental fail.
-- berigora, 2023-03-31

### **--- "Gone backwards"
I’ve given it a few weeks now but I’m sad to say that this new version of the app is a backward step. Despite having closed all background apps and often rebooting my iPad, it is painfully slow to load and I’m on a good, fast connection.  It usually takes three or four tries before it loads which is frustrating. I could read the old version without having to resort to zooming in, now I have to zoom in on every page as the image is so small. I’ll be going back to reading it on the web.
-- Arctic Elf, 2023-03-12

### ****- "Unable to connect"
I’m on a cruise ship off the Queensland coast and have not been able to access the Canberra Times.
-- Cruising alone QLD, 2023-02-28

### ****- "A much better experience"
This is a better performing app than before. While it’s not as rich, it removes the previous irritating feature where an attempt to scroll through a story before the top advert had loaded resulted in a swipe to the next article.  Irony was that the offending advert was never seen!
-- Murrumbateman, 2023-02-24

### ***** "Very touchy operation"
Slow to load. Three or four attempts required. Very sensitive to touch which can be frustrating.  As my eyes are failing, I like the ability to get an enlarged version of an article.

I believe it is an improvement but with the reservations above.
-- Bronte210, 2023-02-23
