## news.com.au Reviews in Australia

### *---- "Constantly crashes with iOS 15"
Can’t scroll without crashing out of the app
-- Natwah, 2024-12-29

### *---- "Stopped working"
Stopped working. Uninstalled. Reinstalled. Still not working.
-- Darkininc, 2024-12-10

### *---- "No Dark mode on IOS"
Every other app I have on IOS have the dark mode app icon. Obviously the developers here don’t care. I have now put the app icon on page 2 of my iPhone now. Catch up with the times guys!
-- Muz4405, 2024-11-30

### *---- "Be nice if you could read an article"
Trying to read an article and an advert pops up and only allows 2 lines of the article to appear
-- drivingissue, 2024-11-28

### *---- "Won’t work anymore"
Since Apple’s latest ios update this app won’t even open. I’ve deleted &amp; reinstalled the app but it hasn’t fixed the problem. C’mon news.com.au please fix the problem.   
*** Seems like you’ve fixed the issue. Thank you.
-- Andreael, 2024-11-24

### ***** "Please remove video headlines"
It stops my music and sound when scrolling the app when there is a video headline. Please stop this, I do not want auto playing of a video headline. Only use photos please.
-- Porkchop quinny, 2024-11-24

### *---- "It’s so so bad"
I have to reopen the app 3 or 4 times just to read the fake news. I’m going to delete it
-- Who your daddy12344321, 2024-11-14

### **--- "Painful to use"
I am constantly battling with the app rendering content whenever I’m reading an article and listening to music on Spotify. It’s a frustrating app to use.
-- Wolf10_10, 2024-11-11

### *---- "Won’t work"
Latest update won’t open the app. Please fix.
-- Kracker crum, 2024-11-09

### *---- "Stopped working after recent update."
I was prompted to update to the latest version so I did that, but the App will not open now ☹️.
-- Revhead05, 2024-11-04

### *---- "Doesn’t even work"
Just downloaded the latest update.  Now it fails to even open with an endless rotation of the “clock face”.  Is it that difficult to do?  What about truth with no bias.
-- Fahsuhsjkhsiuhsuibsiush, 2024-11-04

### *---- "Doesn’t load any more"
Doesn’t work at all
-- Maza3333, 2024-10-28

### *---- "Way too slow and too many editing ( on editing) errors"
Every time I try to read the days “news”, the app is nearly always  very slow to respond to opening each article.   On occasion it even manages, somehow, to freeze my iPad.  As far as the articles go, the editing - if any - is atrocious.  There are grammar and spelling errors so, on the whole, it’s not worth downloading this app.
-- Mr Rockford, 2024-10-17

### *---- "Mr ups"
The worst of the worst…….
-- barrydowns, 2024-10-09

### **--- "Click bait and faux news"
The entire feed is digital trash. Articles are published and republished multiple times with different headlines in the hope you’ll click on them again. If you want to know what’s actually happening in the world this is not the app for you.
-- &lt;~👀~&gt;, 2024-09-03

### *---- "Crashed all the time"
The apps always crashed due to the game ads. Please fix this as it used to be good.
-- CCH :), 2024-08-22

### **--- "Pop up ads and freezing"
I don’t care for mobile games when trying to read the news. They pop up mid story and then cause the app to freeze completely. This morning alone I’ve had to reset 4x just trying to read the news of the day. Do better.
-- Jessy.Harrington, 2024-07-31

### ***-- "Pop up ads constantly"
This app constantly throws up ads for online games. It seems if you leave your finger on the screen for longer than it takes to scroll, then 2 ads pop up. Annoying.
-- Vist66, 2024-07-30

### *---- "Poor quality"
App is full of bugs .
Quality of journalism is worse than what you would expect from a gossip magazine.
Fact are incorrect and not reference checked.
For example an article from today talks about Qantas future A350 , NEWS.com.au referring to it as an Boeing A350 😂 its a Airbus you muppet’s.
I got rid of the app . Finally
-- Chef Hug, 2024-07-26

### *---- "Keeps trying to Trojan other apps on the phone"
This app used to be good however after recent updates the adds keep moving around and the app keeps pulling up the App Store trying to install scam games onto my phone, I plan to uninstall this app because it’s clearly compromised.
-- Bazzanfun, 2024-07-25
