Previous version was fine. This version to use the vernacular "sucks". Any queries to Newscorp results in a "scripted response". Can't talk to anyone with knowledge of the app. in spite of their claims. I get told that this version is written for Android 9.0 and is not backward compatible. Rubbish!!, they mean IOS 9.0. It would appear the app is attempting to log on to the wrong server, but I am unable to raise this with anyone. App score, - 1 out of 10.

Aside from the general lack of quality in content, not all articles from the published paper seem to feed through to the app. Videos at the top of articles are often not remotely related to the story below.

Ugh! So many issues using this paid digital service. No way to print or share a legible clipping from the print edition. No way to view a missed or skipped or back issue of the print edition e.g recipes. Online content is incomplete. Can't control screen rotation when viewing print edition so editorially rotated content (eg historic reprints) are unreadable.

Constant notification of same breaking news. Too much irrelevant article links in the text, interrupting reading. Please include those links at the end of the article if you really want people to have a pleasant reading experience, not trying to get them shift to something else. There got to be a better to promote those articles!

It is beyond me why you'd have a large header image above a headline that is unrelated to the story and links through to a different article. UX at its worst. It's confusing at best and dangerously misleading at worse. Don't write an article about a young offender then put someone else's mug shot in the header image...it's insane.

Recent update has broken authentication and I can't login. It tries to authenticate via browser (Firefox) and produces a GET error. Someone please debug and fix. Otherwise the app is fine.
