## The Advertiser. Reviews in Australia

### *---- "Drains battery on iPad through unauthorised background activity"
This app is terrible as turning off all background activity does not work
It still allows audio background activity to function which over night can consume 30% of a fully charged battery
-- olderVIP, 2024-12-27

### ***-- "Crossword formatting"
Since most recent Apple update for my iPad the crossword clues are sitting over the puzzle so it can’t be completed.
I couldn’t find anywhere else to provide this feedback- app support is only very basic information that doesn’t allow for customer support.
-- Thewal54, 2024-12-01

### *---- "Save your money"
This is what you get when you combine an unstable app with a terrible interface, and then add biased gutter journalism. Seriously, don’t bother.

Addendum: Please stop showing previews of disturbing videos as I scroll through the article list. There are certain videos that are distressing to watch. Let me make the choice about whether or not I want to view them, don't shove them in my face.
-- Liz471, 2024-11-28

### ***-- "Needs Dark Mode option"
Works ok for my needs but as a constant migraine suffer, having a dark mode option would be most helpful.  I also love doing the two speed crossword but not available in the app.  Be great if you could expand the app puzzles to have same range as the paper version.
-- HonestReview92, 2024-11-22

### *---- "How many times?"
2024 Nov.
This is an addition to my previous review. It’s no better, but News Corp is happy to bill me each month, but every week or two I am told I’m not a member. Trying to log in again doesn’t get any results. I have to cancel the app and start over every time.
Be a miracle if anyone took any notice of all the complaints that appear about this site. It’s just not good enough.

How many times do I have to verify my membership and regular payments to prove I am a subscriber to this publication? About to read a story and suddenly come to a dead end and even then filling in the info is rarely accepted that I am a member. Twists and turns eventually let me continue, This is frustrating and just plain hopeless as it occurs at least every week. So annoying when the cost is regularly debited to my account, without fail. Not good enough. Yet again I am instructed to sign in to the site. Too bad that I am charged every month to read numerous articles of poorly written stories, and in the Top Stories not enough to make it a South Australian publication. Why do I bother? Only because there isn’t a Home Delivery service in my town.
-- Maircott, 2024-11-14

### *---- "Font size"
I cannot read the detailed article text, and it is incredibly not expandable like every other publication
-- Cat 345321, 2024-10-30

### ***-- "Monitored? I don’t think so."
Does anyone  even look at these reviews? I’m in full agreement with the many comments about the crossword section. 
Some days they download, and some days, like yesterday, they just don’t. It’s really frustrating. I used to blame my printer, then I realised it’s not. 
Why bother with reviews if nothing changes. Really should do better, it can’t be that hard!!
-- keighley74, 2024-10-15

### **--- "Please fix app"
I used to be able to listen to I Heart Radio and read The Advertiser now when I go to The Advertiser app it stops the radio. Would be appreciated if this could be fixed asap. Thanks
-- Work commute, 2024-10-02

### *---- "Terrible functionality"
Have my notifications set to BREAKING NEWS ONLY, and yet I get notifications telling me to take the shark quiz. Thats just one of so many things wrong with the functionality of this app which also includes having to manually scroll back to top of the home screen. No option to turn off autoplay of preview videos in the app which then turns off any sound you are listening to. Terrible.
-- Stevenplfjeb, 2024-10-01

### *---- "App crashing"
The app keeps crashing and end up having to buy a physical version
-- Mat8e, 2024-09-20

### *---- "Latest update not helpful"
Why have you changed the way stories are first presented. Previously stories headlines and lead pics were presented in an an easy to view summary screen format making it easy to get to the stories that interest you. With latest update you present stories in scroll through format so you have to scroll through everything - really bad update removing a feature that made the app much more engaging. If it’s been done to force you look at every story it’s having the opposite effect for me - I’m just going straight to the paper view rather than soaking up the other stories first which I previously did
-- Why change a good feature, 2024-09-17

### *---- "Terrible"
This app drives me mad. Always logs out. Also very left stories.
-- Ahilios, 2024-09-16

### *---- "Why have you changed it?"
No happy. Annoying to have to scroll thru just one story at a time. Much preferred before the change when there were multiple stories and easy to pick what you are interested in reading.
-- 123211233222, 2024-09-14

### ***-- "Latest update"
Is appalling. Very poor layout now on top stories page.
-- Carmis6, 2024-09-13

### **--- "Updates don’t seem to make the app better"
Whatever you have done to this app, you now can’t listen to music and read at the same time. Slow, clunky, and some interactive sections aren’t that interactive. Would think Newscorp has the dollars to spend to make this app easier to use.
-- Ad-man_04, 2024-08-29

### **--- "Poor update"
Since the latest update we have been unable to listen to music via Bluetooth while reading the paper 
Everytime we open the app the music goes off 
Doesn’t happen with any other app 
Please fix 
Very annoying
-- Red Walkers, 2024-08-21

### **--- "Good app but…"
This is a good app
But unfortunately
Now I am no longer able to make comments nor read others comments please just advertise so it works so I’m getting what I’m paying for totally
-- Unhappy unhappy grrr, 2024-08-09

### ***-- "Locations"
Noticed more interstate stories infiltrating SA ‘top stories’ daily which is fine but please do not assume we know where the State of the location is that a story is referring to.  For example a few weeks back you did a story on ‘Rainbow Beach’ never heard of it but apparently it’s in Queensland.
-- Sumofus4, 2024-08-04

### **--- "Poor content quality control"
SA Ramping editorial had a video showing RPA on the first frame.  Not SA.

No link on housing affordability story, dispite stating “See all suburbs here” (or the like). 

These might seem small issues, but they erode the trust in your journalistic professionalism.  In a world where close enough is good enough in social media, I expect more from professionals. Why pay for something unprofessional?
-- 1_Jay_Aitch, 2024-08-03

### *---- "Won’t print the puzzles"
Some days it simply won’t print the crossword and on other days it’s not a problem. What the heck?
-- The Praying Mama, 2024-07-13
