SBS News

Why is so much of this app populated by news that is days, and sometimes weeks old. It’s in the name, stupid: NEWs. I don’t want archival news, I want to find out what’s happening now, not what happened a week ago! Mongrel of an app: doesn’t know what it is!

Serious, ongoing issues with notifications: sending multiple times, in the wrong language, against preference in app.

For some reason, the notifications are all in Chinese, leading to Chinese articles. I downloaded this app primarily for news notifications, so it’s basically useless for my use case. Can’t see any area to change the language and SBS mandarin news notifications are turned off.

My news alerts have automatically changed into Mandarin for some reason. When I go into the app everything is still in English. I can’t seem to change it

Far too many articles remain in the app for too long and are old news Malcolm, Attadale

Surely it doesn’t need updating THAT often - I mean how much difference does it actually make?

The quality of news is debatable. Generally it’s still a cut above the murdoch shlock. BUT you often feature some great images. Why then can we not zoom in and look at the detail?! Very frustrating when this option is available on most other news aps.

Same news stories stay in app for days / weeks. Only one or two new stories each day. No point using more than once a week or so.

Can’t read full stories, headlines ony

While I enjoy much of the drama and movies on SBS it’s news is way too lefty for me. So something I found particularly offensive made me delete the app. Was just watching the news- something I rarely do because I no longer trust MSM there was an item about an ancient sea creature on this afternoon’s news. I have a grandson obsessed with dinosaurs so I reinstated the app so I could send it to him. I scrolled- nothing. So I searched dinosaur, sea creature and a few others. Nada. I’ve re deleted the app.
