Latest update just displays pop up ad about recipes that you can’t get rid of. No point subscribing if I can’t read anything!

My iPad mini 6 says the mercury app has over 7 gig of documents and data. That must mean everything I have ever read has been saved.

What’s happened with the latest update? Like others have noted the app now freezes when you click on a story. The app is no rendered pretty useless!

I see you had an update to the app 5 days ago. Ever since then , if I click on a story in My News area up comes a blank white page that locks up my iPad. I have to double click on the page to close it down and reload your app again. Please fix. How about updates to your main page too. Sick of looking at the Tasman Bridge and a Ducks Bum. Surely you can update that photo monthly, with readers photos. You’ve had that photo for years. It’s not that good!

This latest update makes this app terrible to use. Some stories load others crash the app. Not great considering I pay a subscription to use it!

My first beef is with the Comments section. Of late I have been getting the message “Comments failed to load. Please try again later”. Also, when comments are indicated for an article, as soon as I click on the article the comments disappear. Very frustrating! Then, when I do respond to a comment, and it’s several comments from the top, the response can stay there as a PENDING for days sometimes. Obviously the adjudicator never looks below the top couple of comments. If this continues to occur I will cancel my subscription of five or six years! I’m not prone to wasting time in writing comments for them to never to see the light of day!

This app is the pits. Loading problems are common. But the worst part is that even though the magazines and ad inserts are there to be opened separately they are also presented in the the course of reading the ‘paper’. This means that if they are present midway through articles you might have to scroll forward multiple pages of ads before you can continue reading. It’s obvious why they do this but I resent the fact that they, to all appearances, offer a choice which in the end is no choice at all.

Quick and easy to sign up, but when you want to cancel they have made it impossible to do so. I’m on hold while doing this review. If you try and cancel online you have to fill out a form that requires even more personal information (address, phone numbers, ect) why on earth do they need more information to cancel than to sign up. The whole business model is set up to as a scam. Avoid!!

Very easy to subscribe, almost impossible to unsubscribe, as you can only do it on the phone, and they never pick up. Scam.
