## Geelong Advertiser Reviews in Australia

### *---- "Optional"
Junk app. Can’t access my comments
-- xfahhcomr, 2025-05-19

### ***-- "Needs dark mode"
Great app that is fully functional. The app needs to get dark mode like every other app including other news ones.
-- Tommym1510, 2025-05-16

### ***-- "Can’t open on iPad"
Since the last iPad update I cannot open the Geelong Advertiser paper.
-- JCRLRR, 2025-04-26

### *---- "Fed up user"
The APP does work, can not log in?
-- 1111 Fed up user, 2025-04-17

### *---- "Useless"
It does not open where I want it to as it was before I had ro reinstall the app. 
Neither the app or online could I update my payment methods it is totally broken.
Tried to message them as per their website and that did not work. 
Ended up calling them and spent 29 miniutes and it is still not working but at least they updated my payment method over the phone. So two hours of frustration.
-- Beechie1954, 2025-04-05

### *---- "SERIOUS BATTERY  DRAIN SINCE LAST UPDATE"
UPDATE 15-12-24. THE LAST UPDATE HAS STILL NOT RESOLVED THE SERIOUS BATTERY DRAIN THAT HAS AFFECTED THE APP SINCE THE PREVIOUS ONE. IF I DO NOT CLOSE DOWN THE APP EACH TIME I COME BACK TO A FLATTENED BATTERY. COME ON THIS SHOULD BE STANDARD STUFF TO FIX - AND DON’T FORGET I AM PAYING TO READ THIS NEWSPAPER. 

I have just found, following my iPad battery draining rapidly, that the Geelong Advertiser app has used 15 hours operating in the background. I don’t have notifications on and only used the app for 27 minutes in the same 24 hours. I noticed a battery drain a couple of days ago but hadn’t pinned it down to the app until today when the same thing occurred. There is something going on that needs to be immediately looked at.
-- Stager1, 2024-12-15

### *---- "Games"
Why did the change occur to the cryptic and crossword puzzle. Now very hard to use on my iPad. If not reverted back then kiss my sub. goodbye.
-- Chum54, 2024-12-09

### *---- "Garbage"
Don’t touch this App
-- Danny Dubrastien, 2024-10-24

### *---- "Cannot use app"
Can’t log in and support useless. Extra 10 days in subscription of no value. Been going over 2 weeks.  Pathetic.
-- Ruiew, 2024-07-04

### *---- "Not working"
App not working for the last week. Can’t even restore my paid subscription. When do I start getting a discounted subscription?
