The Australian users say on Google Play
Hands down the best mainstream news source in the country. Decent platform on Android too.
enjoy it. QLD only tells you rubbish and footy , so like to know what's happening in our country. thanks
How do I stop sound on some stories. There seems to be nothing in the settings to disable sound
The latest version of this app often takes forever to load the main page. This did not previously happen. A white screen shows with the twirling loading circle and takes a minute or more before the front page appears. It also occasionally crashes on our Samsung tablet, and suffers from the news taking minutes to load also. the latest app STILL has ongoing problems scrolling when there are images included in the article. This problem has been present since the new version was rolled out.
No problem with the journalism but the app, which used to be very good, has taken a huge downturn. It has become extremely slow and the mind games no longer keep track of their use (and, if there is an interruption, you have to start the game over again). I have complained about this twice before but received no acknowledgement, let alone any corrective action.
