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.

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.
★☆☆☆☆Carmelo Distefano· Aug 22, 2025
No good. The article links often link to the wrong article. The app is very sensitive to scrolling and can easily scroll left or right to the next article when you are trying to scroll down. Doesn't allow you to zoom in which is very annoying nor allow you to copy text.

Update: Can you please add an option to stop videos autoplaying. Keeps causing my media to pause when opening herald sun app now. The new version of this app is terrible, navigating articles is not intuitive at all. I find myself not even bothering any more may aswell cancel my subscription. 2024 update-Top stories I click on articles takes me to completely different article. Please fix this.
