What users are saying

1. news apps to keep up with the Australian news as I live in Canada but have visited Australia twice in the last 8 years.Recently when I lock the screen the story goes back to the top and I have to scroll down to where I was up to.

2. One thing to improve on, can you keep the spot where I was reading up to before the screen turns off? Right now it just resets back to the top of the article.No I don't want to enable notifications, yet every single story has the banner begging for them to be enabled, it's really annoying, will uninstall if it doesn't go away.

3. Instead of providing actual breaking news, this taxpayer funded "news app" prioritises unsolicited opinion and virtue signalling articles without exception.

4. Also I miss out on many headline news stories that are on ABC's tv news including ones that may be dominating the tv headlines over a number of days.

5. Try to integrate the two a bit more and push longer interest stories further down the list.When you navigate away from the app when reading an article from the widget, it disappears and you have to find the article and place you were up to again.

6. So much quicker to get to compared to using the iView app.My go to for news on my phone.

7. Now please add true picture in picture support so I can watch videos while using other apps.Bring the live TV stream back! Was one of the best features in this app.

8. Can't multitask while reading the news...The app does what it needs to.

9. Just saying.A news app that isn't about actual news anymore.

10. No one cares that much about news other than Journalists and Politicians.

11. Instead of employing clarity and comprehension for headlines, click-bait, bias and misleading sensationalism is being entrenched into ABC's culture.
