Canberra Times

Still very user unfriendly online - have been an avid reader since 1956!

Not a good app. Not user friendly. Even if you haven’t used it for days, it takes you back to the article/section you were last in. Search function is also annoying - again saving searches from days ago, not clearing the search after a short period. Also no filter function on the search.

Please, please, please allow me to jump between hyperlinks to different articles without automatically logging me out of the app each time.

Generally its OK……..however I get that news sites need to advertise to make money, but when the advert sits in front of and over the text of the article you are reading (thereby making that article unreadable) it is very annoying, especially since you still need to subscribe to the paper. Grrrrr fix it or lose a subscription

Almost makes me want to unsubscribe. The web app is even worse.

Works well, loads articles quickly, everything is easy to read, great app!

The placement of news etc is haphazard and ads add to difficulty in following articles. Excess space allocated to ads and racing information would appear to receive little viewing and are therefore no different to junk mail I receive in my mailbox ie waste.

This is one of the cases where the website is actually better than using the app. Also the subscription cost is wild. I have to recommend a pass on this one Edit: They make it has hard as possible to cancel your subscription. You have to call them

Since the latest upgrade the main screen keeps timing out trying to download older episodes, failing, and slowing down operation. Please introduce a setting to control old issue download

I’ve given it a few weeks now but I’m sad to say that this new version of the app is a backward step. Despite having closed all background apps and often rebooting my iPad, it is painfully slow to load and I’m on a good, fast connection. It usually takes three or four tries before it loads which is frustrating. I could read the old version without having to resort to zooming in, now I have to zoom in on every page as the image is so small. I’ll be going back to reading it on the web.
