The Age website is full of articles, with categories and search bars and a super easy user interface. I thought the app would be the same, but easier to access- unfortunately it's not. You're limited to a few articles, even with a membership- the app chooses for you. And the only other articles you can look at are in the My News, which also only show you a few. There's also no search function. Please improve the app so I can keep reading the age!

I've given up on this app. No ability to bookmark inside the app, no ability to open multiple stories at once, no option to open in browser. You read what you're looking at and that's it. These are day one missing features too, all with existing native support in the chrome browser, so clearly not a priority for Fairfax. If you love the Age, put a bookmark on your home screen. A much better experience.

Would basically give it 5 stars but it keeps flooding my phone with football tennis updates despite asking for no sports notifications

App using 2.9 GB of space. Complained directly to company multiple times about features lacking or not working in previous versions. Finally has Suduko and a usable offline "Today's Paper", but now it's eating my storage. Problem appears to be that a previous update moved the location of downloaded editions. Uninstalled, reinstalled, used space dropped to 800 MB. Update - after working ok for a while, now there's no editions at all in Today's Paper. About ready to cancel subscription.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this useful app which works smoothly, allows me to read The Age in an efficient way and format plus notifies me of breaking news as they happen.

Couldn't download the paper on my tablet yesterday or today and had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. A troubleshooting section would be helpful.
