Better than it was previously in that at least the ability to sort comments by "most liked" has been restored. I’m getting a bit tired of having my comments rejected and have the distinct impression that at least one of your moderators might be better suited at the Guardian. Interestingly, minor changes to phrasing and repeat submission are then accepted so clearly allowed by another moderator with a different viewpoint. The ability to see my saved articles is completely broken and does not work at all. The date and timestamp on articles is often missing which makes it impossible to know when they were published especially if linked from another article. Take a lesson from the Wall Street Journal app.

Obviously something has changed with your app or with the Australian newspaper. I can no longer use the comments to reply to any of your articles if you’ve changed something would you like to tell all your readers or you may lose them? I don’t know how to link my subscription to comments so that means I can’t use the app on my iPhone In addition I tried on the desktop and the function doesn’t work at all. Ie I can’t reply I’m your comments section I’ve noticed this in the last few days Would somebody. suggest a solution And in addition, your NEWSPAPER has gone mad in that every article I tried to There are ads. Ads on top ads on the side ads in between paragraphs . Ads under the article It’s a very unpleasant experience to try and read the article in your Saturday AUSTRALIAN. I ended up turning off the computer. WHAT IS GOING WRONG WITH THIS PAPER??Whoever is in charge of your layout, please let them know that whatever changes they’ve made the papers going backwards and qualityQuite a few weeks ago, somebody changed their comment section where you actually write in your comment. It’s not as good as it was retrograde move on the part of the designer I would say.However, I can live with it, but I can’t live with the fact that every time I press the reply button to write in to the paper in regards to an article it doesn’t work

It is one thing to have the same stories promoted again and again in the one issue and over multiple days, even repeatedly promoted again at the end of unrelated individual articles but now having video reels that don’t stop and continue to run when you move down to read the article is just too much. You can’t even scroll down the home page without constantly having a video reel playing the same thing over and over again. Not only is it hard on the eyes but it just drains the battery of your phone or iPad. I now spend less time reading The Australian than I have in the past. The repeated duplication of articles, visually busy screen that makes it difficult to filter out what you have already read on previous days or want to read, and the continual looping of video reels makes reading The Australian an unpleasant and frustrating experience. My main reason now for continuing my subscription is not the news component, which has always been the main reason for my subscription in the past, but the puzzle section where you have only one item on the page at any one time, no audio and no visual overload. Terrible app that is just getting worse by the day.

In my opinion the designers of the app are not in touch with what the users want. The continuous scrolling of “further items in this section” often leads to the same article appearing on the same page, at least twice, sometimes three times. It’s jumbled and confusing. The addition of magazine sections such as health, wealth and lifestyle as part of the daily production is not necessary. It seems to me these segments ought to be confined to the weekend paper. It’s probably a way of reducing the news content in the paper without reducing the volume. The same news articles remain on the pages for several days suggesting there is not much additional current news being published. The podcast section seems to have a mind of it’s own, playing the podcast or reading text for no apparent reason and with no apparent way to turn the sound off. I’m over it!
