Still too sensitive
27/10/2023

As another iPad user I too find whilst trying to read the paper in Portrait mode the slightest pressure whilst swiping or enlarging opens the article. A complete pain for me. Please consider making this a double click option or making it much less sensitive than now. If you want a good example for easer reading & use, look at the AFR app. Please do something… please….😎

Latest update is horrible

The latest update is a massive step backwards. The most horrible feature is the auto opening of individual articles when you are trying to move pages. It is extremely irritating because you are constantly slowed down by articles opening constantly and having to be shut down. If we want to see the article larger we can just reverse pinch which is much quicker. I presume this update was written by programmers who do not actually read the paper on a tablet! Please put the old app back or allow me to turn off that abysmal function.

Still lots of problems

The West Australian app is still very much broken1..You can’t search articles from the app.2. When you click on a link from Facebook or email or whatever it sends you to the HML website not to the app.3. In a new bug loging in the iPhone “save password” feature can’t work because it flashes up for only half a second and then sends you to the app from the HTML website that does the security authentication.Seriously amateur hour. I’ve been a system analyst for 30 years and you would not expect an app like “The West Australian” to be so bad. “The Post” is the only worse one.

Absolutely hopeless

I absolutely hate this app and it’s the worst $28 a month I spend. They now control the app in-house and while it has increased the responsiveness somewhat they have completely and untterly destroyed the digital version of the paper which was the only thing that was perfect. You can’t get access to the back page or Sport Cover, although I got it on Thursday but not since LOL. And you can’t see the whole page without having to scroll or drag the page up or down. They are now promoting the ex Hells Angels boss’s sale of his bikie memorabilia. They are an absolute joke. What choice do I have as a West Australian?
