Not the greatest quality - quite where it’s bias lies and editorials and opinions aren’t crisp or very insightful

This app continues to have 'memory problems' and the condition is getting worse. Now, if you click on a headline the story may or may not come up. If you click on body text the story may or may not come up. And, seemingly randomly, the app takes you back to page one when you try to 'return' from reading body text to the two-page display (iPad). This problem has just got worse in recent times. Somehow newspapers like the New York Times can produce a product that functions normally, but the SMH app just behaves like it has lost its mind. How hard can it be to correct this software problem which has been going on for years?

The newspaper is good but the app is frustratingly buggy. I’m a subscriber but get regularly logged out. When I try to log in the login page flashes for a second and then disappears. Tried to restart the app but no difference. Total waste of time when something so basic doesn’t work reliably.

SMH has actual news and gives a neutral view, unlike Uncle Rupert’s publications and his self serving agenda.

Decent app, but nothing radically different in experience than via the website. It does go dark at night time, handy for reading in bed without waking your partner. But there’s no way to adjust the font size in the app (unlike the website). And the search function… it never returns anything remotely relevant to what I look for. How can that be?

If it weren’t for the ‘print version’ I wouldn’t bother. New version needs ability to select downloaded content to delete and cleanup more easily

Poor. This app is unstable and not worth the monthly subscription. SMH content has deteriorated over the years. I’ve been it reading since the 80’s.

Now after update 5.6.0 target time solution still appears on I phone x screen for just a few seconds before disappearing. Please fix this introduced bug.

The SMH is a shadow of its traditional self, but still provides a balance of news better than its opposition. Sub-editing appears to be non-existent, and too many journalists don’t have a professional grasp of English.
