## The Examiner Reviews in Australia

### *---- "Limited usability"
This app won’t run on older devices.
-- Philhawk, 2024-09-08

### *---- "Small amount of news"
Really only paying for adds
-- Mable buster, 2024-07-23

### ***** "Examiner"
I enjoy reading the Examiner everyday.
-- over the moon., 2024-05-10

### **--- "So frustrating that the app often says it failed to connect to the server"
In the months before the app upgrade I was seriously considering not renewing my digital subscription due to the frequency of the app failing to load the daily paper, particularly when there were many pages. It usually stopped downloading or failed to connect to the server by the time it got to the Public Announcements or Sports sections.  Although there has been some improvement since the latest version of the app, today the paper will not “connect to server” past Page 4 and I am definitely not getting my money’s worth with this digital sub!  I have tried at different times of the day with no luck. I have full bars of wifi so the issue is not with my inner city residence. Please get this sorted!!!
-- Foxtel Consumer, 2023-11-10

### *---- "Not easy"
I would like to open up the paper and search for a page, there are some options but usually after the first page I look at the births, deaths etc but can’t find them at all.  I can’t find a search button.

I would like to open up the paper and swipe across to each new page just like a pepper version.  

I’m not very happy with this new idea.

### ***** "Examiner"
The single page is hard to adjust to read.
The old way was much better.  The paper doesn’t flow as it used to.   Not impressed at all.
-- Travellers Two, 2023-09-08

### *---- "App not user friendly"
App used to download “today’s edition” … now page by page and ugly format
-- KramerKooks, 2023-07-31

### *---- "Slow &amp; Confusing layout"
Just a poor upgrade. Slower &amp; layout is now confusing, not logical or easy to use
-- Barney Groves, 2023-07-28

### *---- "New app"
Not loving the new app. It may get better as we become more familiar with it.
-- tasman26, 2023-07-28

### ***-- "New Layout"
Prefer the old way to download and view.
-- astronomical99, 2023-07-28

### *---- "Examiner App"
Definitely not an improvement, needs to be condensed in ‘latest news’ section, &amp; does not seem to be updating, the ‘daily paper’ section is frustrating with individual pages, much prefer previous set up
-- pjrsl, 2023-07-27

### ****- "Examiner catalogue"
The Examiner takes too long to read digitally due to it becoming more of a Harvey Norman catalogue.  Flicking quickly through the catalogue to get to the bulk of the news is awful!
Perhaps it would be best to put it at the back or before the sport.
If I wan’t to find something in the catalogue, I’ll know where to find it!
-- Mxyptlk77, 2023-07-26

### ***-- "app update 25/7"
there appears to be some problems with the update, e.g. the cryptoquote and crossword are all blurred.
-- AnnieJ58, 2023-07-26

### ***** "Updated app"
I love the new updated app. It’s much easier to find various sections I like to get to quickly.
-- Lmz62west, 2023-07-26

### ***** "Fantastic paper"
This paper has a good range of local, national and some international news. The articles are of a high quality. Keep it local!
-- Straight Horizons, 2023-07-25

### *---- "Still get ads after subscribing"
The articles are still plastered with ads even after subscribing. At least the click-bait links at the bottom are gone.
-- CptnNimo, 2022-01-11

### **--- "Unable to read downloaded paper"
Todays paper is unable to be read via the app, including the realestate edition. No obvious backup support option, so a review was the next best.
-- Tas fans, 2021-11-03

### ***** "Examiner"
Love the new app. Well done guys.
-- Pilosh, 2021-08-11
