The brand new app opens to requiring you to sign in again and they haven't enabled password managers. What an awful first start.

The app will charge you for a subscription but then give you a “data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format” error. When buying a subscription online the restore password feature never sends a reset email

Works well for flights: downloads all the text of the paper before you board so you can read offline. Pictures aren't downloaded however.

The app keeps crashing. When it does work it is very slow to download content, and only has a limited range of stories versus the hardcopy. Unless they fix it I will be deleting my subscription.

Finally AFR is available for the iPad! The interface is pretty user friendly and navigation is pretty easy. Much better than having to see the paper through a browser window (the previous business model). This way you can download the current paper, jump on a flight and continue read away.

I’d be excited if the app actually worked…

I am stuck with the same online paper for days. Have to read printed option. Please fix

Great content, but terrible app. Two examples: - live updates bring you to the website instead of staying in app - todays paper view can be glitchy and fairly memory intensive. This means that multitasking to another app often means losing your space in the paper when switching back to AFR Then on the desktop (web) side, using todays paper is barely usable. The scroll behaviour is broken (as in it moves way too fast for just a short scroll on the mouse or trackpad ), and there are heavy margins that severely limit the viewing space on small monitors.

Great content, but terrible app

Fix the search function it’s so bad.
