Ratings and reviews

Far too many emails about what to read in the app. STOP THIS!! I see no sense in charging me for the app edition of the paper, plus forcing me to have the hard copy of the paper delivered to me. All in one price without an option for one or the other. Silly to me but no doubt boosts circulation numbers, dishonestly

Update: Can you please add an option to stop videos auto playing. Keeps causing my media to pause when opening herald sun app now. The new version of this app is terrible, navigating articles is not intuitive at all. I find myself not even bothering anymore may aswell cancel my subscription. 2024 update- Top stories I click on articles takes me to completely different article. Please fix this.

Auto media is ruining my experience, will have to delete if you don't provide options to stop auto media, or set it not to be the default. It's infuriating that it stops Spotify and other media playing because some video in an article I'm not even selecting!
