I have an iPad Pro and the app does not work at all. It downloads ok, then I try and sign in and it says there is a problem. Try again later. Two years later trying each month and it still doesn’t work. Tried resetting password. Herald sun no help.

I don’t want to do the quiz. I don’t care about traffic notifications. Sick of not being able to stop them

Considering the amount of revenue HS would be getting from subscriptions, you’d think they could afford to spend some time and effort on the app. Average at best. Background refresh kills the battery, hard to navigate, lots of down time. But do they read the reviews? Obviously not. 2.1 stars is nothing to be proud of.

Comments section doesn’t load. Menu is horrible. Navigating articles due to the filtering of the menu is frustrating. Only thing that works as is, is the virtual edition of the physical paper. If you read the other reviews it seems they don’t really fix things to have the app work well.

App is using so much battery in background even after disabling background app refresh, live activities and more frequent updates. It’s clear they don’t care about the app given all the horrible reviews.

The new puzzle page which has just been launched is. a total disaster. The new Cryptic Crossword puzzle setter expects everyone to have the IQ of Einstein. It is now simply impossible to use and a waste of time. Some of the solutions make absolutely no sense at all. On Sunday there is now no Cryptic Crossword in the puzzle page. Please restore the old Cryptic Crossword setter and bring back the Cryptic Crossword in the puzzle pages on Sunday.

Why did you change the quick crossword? Why change the quiz pages? We hate it so will unsubscribe!

I have been using this app for years and it has deteriorated badly in recent times. Syndicated click bait from realestate.CoM and other sites has clogged up the app with so much fluff that it bears little resemblance to the “Dead tree” version of the Herald Sun. All I want is a convenient, sustainable version of my daily paper. BTW, I am still angry over the axing of the comics section. Bring them back PLEASE.

I’ve had HS app on my phone fir years but for two months it hasn’t been working. When I rang support a month ago they said they were aware but still it’s not fixed! Very frustrating and disappointing.
