The SBS News app has worked for years on my IPad, now with all the latest iOS and app, the news articles body doesn’t show, only the headlines appear. I have raised a technical problem report but to no avail. Also tried deleting and reloading the app too. Anyway, there are better news organisations around that are less left biased so it’s probably time to dump it anyway.

Very light on actual news, especially overseas news. Too much fluffy stuff and human interest articles. Just report the news not your opinions.

For some reason, SBS have disabled the ability to enlarge the photos on their app. Consequently many of the photos accompanying news articles are so small as to often be indecipherable.

The lack of one of the most basic navigating tools of any news app, the ability to search by keyword, rather than by just the “available topics“ undermines the utility of this app. I would have expected more of SBS…

I’d recommend going back to simpler layouts for accessibility of information. The ads also are a massive impact and relocate as you scroll which makes the headlines jump around. The Australian news stories are also biased to rewriting the narrative of modern Australia and have forgotten what forged this nation.

Impossible to read- if you try to scroll through stories, the page goes blank, reloads, flickers, jumps around on the page, reloads again.. don’t even bother

Take a leaf from the ABC NEWS app or even copy it as it's far too cumbersome to go to another news story with the SBS app.

SBS news app is no way as good a look or feel as other main news feeds. Look is very important, and relevant updated news events are essential. Needs an overhaul.
