Nice work ABC app developers on the refresh button that pops up on the "just in" page, this is so much better than having to scroll to the top of the screen then swiping down to refresh 👍
What happened to the widget? It's gone. Please bring it back.
At last a dark mode, delivered thankyou. The latest UI is great, selection of topics and local news works perfectly. Thankyou for reducing those annoying digital news stories, when I see them I stop reading. -1 star. Also recently there seems to be little editorial oversight, grammatical errors, extra words, missing words, reduce the readability and hence reliability and confidence in content. This is the ABC, I expect better. - 1 star
No scrollbar so no idea how long an article is. No 'Find In Page'. No Forward button so don't hit Back accidentally or you'll never find your article again! Reorienting phone between portrait/landscape, app loses its place. And don't reorient while playing a video as it spits the dummy. No History function so you'll handily never be able to easily find even the very last article you were reading, lord forbid something from yesterday! How could they possibly make it worse? Find out next update!!
A very disappointing effort from a national news service. Not only are there constant problems loading articles, and the constant duplication of articles that's persisted unaddressed for years now, the articles are riddled with embarrassing spelling mistakes, basic grammar errors, and a multitude of other signs of poor editing, and the app itself leaks your data to one of the worst manipulative predators on the internet - Meta's Facebook. A weak and lazy effort. Just not good enough.
