Appreciate Australian articles though app is almost unusable now. Feels like hasn'tt gone through usability/accessibility testing with recent update-new painful side scrolling (increased clicks?) bumps me to next page when looking at images, can't pinch or zoom on some images, cannot cut & paste text, start writing comment & disappears if scroll back to article (Facebook doesn't do this as example). Settings in the app tho not for app itself. Repeated login & 60 years screen unnecessary.

Still a mess. Can't post the first comment from the app. Can't cut and paste from the story to comments, i.e. quote. Ridiculous hashtags for no discernible benefit. Replies to comments scattered all over the place. Used to be a great app for discourse. Took a great app and ruined it. Cheapens the experience and makes a subscription all of a sudden expensive. People will cancel.

We have now fixed this app crash issue and there is a new version available now in the Google Play Store. Please update to this version and will no longer face this issue. Apologies for the inconvenience in the meantime. Kind regards The Australian

Top quality, well-balanced journalism. Certainly worth the subscription cost. Although the latest update has made the app slow and glitching while scrolling. This is perhaps due to videos loading and playing automatically. There should be a way to turn this off, but there doesn't seem to be.
