Comments on The West Australian for Android

★★★★☆ john McCartney · Oct 12, 2023
Much more reliable than the last app. I'm enjoying the new notification options and the higher resolution of the digital editions.
★★★★☆ Alwyn Adkins · Apr 23, 2021
Generally not bad, only annoying thing is I get Breaking News alerts when I have Push Notifications and Breaking News Alerts in Settings switched off.
★★★★☆ Jessica Hodder · Mar 6, 2024
The app is ok. Journalism is pretty good. Best coverage of Perth and Western Australia. However, I keep getting notifications about topics I'm not interested in (sport and crime) even though I have Sports notifications turned off. Have just turned off Breaking News notifications hoping that helps. There's no option to turn crime stories off even though the app clearly marks heaps of stories with that category. I don't think crimes are 'news' unless statistically significant per capita.
★☆☆☆☆ Kim Farr · Nov 17, 2022
Horrible app Crashes all the time. And unable to read the paper. Once download. When u click read. App crazhes
★☆☆☆☆ michael martin · Jul 11, 2022
Unable to open app when off-line so what's the point of downloading edition to read later, just takes up 7gb of storage. App is on par with newspaper content
★★☆☆☆ Janine · Aug 14, 2026
Every update you have the app gets worse. It doesn't download the editions each day but does in Top Stories. All our devices have the same problem. Some days it's ok then back to downloading problems. We've done all the usual clearing cache, uninstall but no good. Please fix it up because we love the West Papers.
★☆☆☆☆ AntonAus · Dec 12, 2023
Whenever I click on the notification to read the news article, it takes me to the wrong article in the app.
