Reviews in Australia ### **--- "Way too glitchy" This app would be fine if it actually worked. Has gone downhill over the years, and significantly worse with iOS 18. - Frequently fails to load pages (even when they’re visible in preview/ thumbnails) - Says no internet connection even when internet is fine - If you try to download the edition for offline reading, the button has to be pressed over 20 times because it either opens the newspaper or does nothing instead - When scrolling through the thumbnails, they disappear the second you take your finger off the screen, therefore literally impossible to skip to future pages - The current day’s paper often doesn’t load at all Please fix urgently!!! These errors make the paper unreadable frequently, and a waste of money. Considering cancelling my subscription out of frustration. -- sososimps, 2024-12-31 ### *---- "Why change a function that worked well for one that is hopeless" The crossword text is so small it can hardly be read. The clue function on the crossword does not keep the clue visible when changing words Sudoku undo function and operation is terrible with text size jumping into a size that is so large it’s unreadable on an iPad. The check function has to be searched for rather than being visible all the time Why the heck did you change to these disfunctional current items?? Did your contract run out and wanted a cheaper one? -- Give the old ones back, 2024-12-27 ### *---- "Worst app on earth" Yet another login failure for no reason, surely an organisation as big as News Corporation could hire someone who can make this app work consistently -- Al4711, 2024-12-15 ### *---- "Not good enough" This app is almost as frustrating as MyGov! When you select View All Pages, it will revert continuously, and it is difficult to even bring up the View All Pages section; you have to actually manipulate the screen to do so. Come on HS, you can do a lot better!!! -- David 73, 2024-12-14 ### *---- "Worst App" Jus getting my weekly exercise by deleting app and reinstalling in the vain hope it might restore the ability to download the the updates instead of something saying sorry we can’t do that now, retry with this arrow which doesn’t work paper. Not that I expect anyone from the HS IT team to look at any reviews -- Brens111111111, 2024-12-07 ### *---- "Disappointed" Now slow to load. Games now don’t auto fit to iPads -- Give me a crossword, 2024-12-05 ### *---- "Chews up battery power" All News Ltd newspaper apps are so badly written. They chew up all of an iPads battery if left open. Even with background app refresh turned off your device will be dead by the end of the day. Useless technology. -- RichardAus, 2024-12-03 ### *---- "Battery drains when app in background" Battery usage very high when iPad not in use. Compared with other apps. Have to keep shutting down app once used to prevent draining battery. iOS 17.6.1 -- mkinners, 2024-11-25 ### *---- "Still waiting for update" Over a month ago I informed HS of need for a fix for iOs18. The quick cross word STILL not working. -- WGear, 2024-11-20 ### ***-- "Can’t see Top Stories" Since the last update, I have been unable to view Top Stories on the app on iPad or iPhone! I receive a notification but when I click on it, it says unable to load stories. -- JLacey28, 2024-11-19 ### *---- "Todays paper" Is it too much to ask for today’s paper to be available? I don’t know how many times I’ve tried to access the current days paper just to still be looking at yesterday. I’ve read that one, again after multiple attempts at getting it. If I hadn’t paid for a twelve month subscription I’d be cancelling it today. -- Still extremely annoyed, 2024-11-13 ### *---- "Locks on page" This still happens about every 2 months when I first open the app. There is no arrow to return to beginning. It opens on racing and sticks there. Have to delete and download the app again. This app is extremely poor. Almost monthly it freezes on a page, often racing. All options to move forward or back are missing. Only solution is to delete the app and reinstall. Ridiculous as this has been going on for a couple of years. This is still happening. So frustrating -- Really??…, 2024-11-10 ### **--- "Can’t get comments" For the last couple of years when I click on comments I get the “failed to download comments, try again later” flash up on the screen. I have deleted the app so many times it’s ridiculous, it works fine on my iPhone but not on my iPad. I’ve contacted the HS about it but they don’t seem to cate but keep taking my subscription monies! I have paid for the whole bundle but I’m not getting the whole package. -- Steve Abbott, 2024-11-03 ### ****- "Text view of paper version" How much longer are we going to put up with the screen changing to the copyable version of the text, merely by clicking on the screen? Why is this version not got to via a button at the top of the screen? Tired of having to put up with this around a dozen times each day. Please amend the method of getting to the text screen. -- Ian of Clifton Hill, Australia, 2024-10-26 ### *---- "Interrupts my audio" When opening the app it stops all other audio. Happily listening to something and want to catch up headlines. -- TJB3132, 2024-10-23 ### *---- "Shark Quiz" Do a search for today Shark Quiz and you get months old versions. Poor -- Mooley1, 2024-10-22 ### *---- "Auto-hide reader" PLEASE FIX AUTO HIDE READER NAVIGATION BAR SO THAT IT IS ON BY DEFAULT. Everytime I read the paper i have to go to settings and turn it on!!!!!!!!!!! -- Lucazombie, 2024-10-17 ### ****- "It is called THE Herald Sun!" Technically, The Herald Sun Newspaper. Daily Telegraph gets a definite article (as it should) — why can’t we? Great paper, though (except you have to scroll back up manually). -- Ravanagh, 2024-10-07 ### *---- "Painful" Can no longer listen to podcasts on the apple apple while using this app. Automatically turns off podcast. Very annoying. Use to be no issue -- lennyp141985, 2024-10-04 ### *---- "Crossword" Since my iPad updated the crossword clues have been overlaid on the grid so you are unable to actually complete it. I have sort help but none is available. Will probably now cancel my subscription as this was the only thing I actually wanted from this paper as the news is usually several days old.. Not happy -- I’m gosh, 2024-10-04 [View all Herald Sun. reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Herald Sun.
