The Age

I have a subscription through Apple, so I have no login account. Which is too bad for me since this update gives you a login screen that you can’t bypass. This is the second time an app update has hosed me. Should have known better to update when things were working. Also their update notes make no mention of a forced login screen which is always disappointing in terms of being transparent with paying customers. ADDITION: No fix or info from the developer. Time to unsubscribe. Word to the wise… understand what the limitations are before you subscribe via Apple.

… The Age will let you know. Quality journalism!

Reading the digital facsimile edition is good - not as good as the old app. You can’t read in landscape mode across two pages, and stories often cross the centre line. But the frustration of trying to delete old downloaded editions is getting WORSE. To begin with, the tiny red x was so hard to hit, i would accidentally open the paper about 3 times before i could hit the delete x. Now the delete x works ( still averaging 4th hit) on a download 2 papers later! So if the old download is at the end of the display, it can’t be deleted. What will happen next???

Well done, maybe a bit much sport.

Just need to get used to it but better.

Hi

Excellent app

Good

There is no doubt in my mind that this was once a proud independent quality newspaper. Those days have long gone. It is worth subscribing to but NOT at the full price they are asking. The price does not compare favourably with international newspaper subscriptions. There is too much puerile nonsense and click bait scam advertising here. For local Victorian news it is better than the alternative but it is a long way from a complete news organisation now. Predictable and shallow reporting are unfortunately there when in depth reporting by experienced writers is required. We are currently subscribed at a discount rate. I cannot see us willingly paying the full price at the end of the discount period. The value simply isn’t there.

Half of the functions take you out of the app into a separate web page, where it refuses to let you sign in and thus it’s impossible to access even after paying for a subscription. Just a terrible user interface.
