Ratings and reviews

I didn't experience the problems others have had with this app. It works as it should and provides me with the news as I expect. However, I think it needs a couple of tweaks. Too many "Australia" articles end up in "World" which makes that page too long to scroll through. News in Brief, Australia and World are all too slow to load as there are too many articles. Put a cut-off date (3, 4, 5 days) and archive the articles with the ability to search them.

Quick tip for the developers: in the day and age of thousands of apps, if your app sends notifications without the user expressly turning it on, it WILL BE uninstalled. And that's exactly what I did. By the way, the notification content was nowhere near relevant to me (which is why the notification should be 'off' by default, because it is impossible for you to tell what is relevant to me).

Content wise SBS is probably one of the best Australian News providers available. Unfortunately, App wise it can be a bit buggy. One very frustrating and common problem is with the notifications. They normally only link to the headline page where often the notification story / article isn't even listed, even when clicking on the notification minutes after the notification was pushed to the device. Often after clicking on the link you'll not be able to find the notification article. Also the feedback link to the developers in the preferences menu links you through to your email app to send feedback, but doesn't provide or fill in an email address to send it to... And, all of the letter (S)'s are weirdly missing from the text that has been filled in?
