Does everything you need in a newspaper app. Works perfectly on my Samsung phone. Far superior to the rubbish SMH provided.

A good clear interface. I have a subscription to the Herald. Not sure yet how to log in with the app. Otherwise, awesome.

About this app

Tired of Fairfax Media's buggy, feature-deprived Android apps for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age?
Fairfox is an independently developed and maintained app that offers the same content, without the bugs but with the features missing from the official app. And it's ad-free!

No-risk trial - the app is free to install and will work with full functionality for 7 days. A simple in-app purchase will allow you to continue to enjoy the same content beyond 7 days.

Features:

* Read both publications in one app.
* Multiple editions - you can choose how many downloaded editions to keep.
* Slick video playing using the same HLS streams Fairfax use on iPad.
* Works on phones and tablets!
