Ratings and reviews

No pinch to zoom , I'm old , I need the zoom to read properly and see pictures. the pinch to zoom in the phone setting won't override the app . The web page for Gerald Sun on the phone is fine, pinch to zoom is perfect but on app it doesn't work. I access the Herald Sun via the browser but any story I read automatically opens in the app , not the browser which is what I want and need . The only way to again use pinch to zoom is by removing the app.

For me, it has been an excellant newspaper for over 70 years and hope that there will always be a hard copy but fear that this will be replaced by electronic, media options.

I moved from iPhone to Samsung and have had the Herald-Sun app on both. Since moving to my Samsung Galaxy every story I read has embedded advertising within it that wasn't in the iPhone app. I have also noticed that if there is an embedded table that takes up more than 1 screen, I am unable to scroll down further and I am stuck on the table.
