This app seems to have link issues and fails to successfully deliver on it most basic function - to serve up the articles of the Herald Sun. As the application that is the gateway of making use of this expensive subscription it essentially means that a good percentage of the time you don't have access to the content you have paid for. I think it's time I started requesting a refund on this subscription.

What was a fidgety, twitchy, painful app experience to read articles, let alone stay on one page, has now morphed into a new, more painful streamlined experience where the filter doesn't even work! Thank you for the soccer news in my AFL section! Every week, everyday, the cringe goes on with the majority of your 'journalists' midlessly babbling in each, and every, bloody, sports article: 'as reported in/by/this this mashead' By, soon to be a non-subscriber

Clunky app at the best of times. For the last 3 days, in the Breaking News section, every article I open is the same article. If this continues I will be cancelling my subscription.
