Comments on Herald Sun for Android

★★★★★ Sandra Bell · Jul 24, 2024

I'm impressed with the online edition of the Herald Sun. It's easy to read, and I've been reading it for about 50 years . Even though I now live in Queensland, it's the only news I read every day!

★★★★★ Henri Goldin · Dec 31, 2025

For me, it has been an excellent 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.

★★★★★ Leanne Callaghan · May 24, 2025

Enjoy reading the Herald Sun vis app or print

★☆☆☆☆ Rhett Eede · Jun 4, 2024

AP Keeps falling out, and now I can't even read the paper. Customer Support was not able to find the issue. Have to go to Google to read the paper.

★☆☆☆☆ Elisha Bellingham · Jul 6, 2025

Unfortunately it keeps jumping left to right on articles when trying to scroll :((

★☆☆☆☆ Cabe Ayton · Apr 17, 2025

Terrible Experience. Bombarded with Temu ads every time I view the app. I send feedback I'm not interested, but I still constantly get Temu apps. For a paid subscription this should be better. Fix it Herald Sun. Do better

★☆☆☆☆ RICK Gysberts · Dec 4, 2024

App keeps autoplaying videos with no way to turn off. It stops media playing which is very frustrating plus links to articles take you to the wrong article. Please fix asap
