My complaint about the horizontal swipe being way too sensitive has been corrected by the team. It is working correctly and has made the app usable again. Thank you! I am sure others who had the same issue will be pleased too.

I didn't experience the problems others have had with this app. It works as it should and provides me with the news as I expect. However, I think it needs a couple of tweaks. Too many "Australia" articles end up in "World" which makes that page too long to scroll through. News in Brief, Australia and World are all too slow to load as there are too many articles. Put a cut-off date (3, 4, 5 days) and archive the articles with the ability to search them.

Terrible problems scrolling on a Pixel 9 Pro. Trying to scroll down and it treats it as a horizontal swipe. After 20 attempts I gave up trying to finish one article. The app is now unusable. Turned out the problem was almost cured by emptying the cache but developers should look into it as I am not alone and problem returned next day with clear cache only solution. Otherwise great news service.

Horizontal swipe is way too sensitive. I have sent a separate complaint with my contact details within the apps help section. While some websites and apps for other services can be a bit sensitive for accidental horizontal swipes, this SBS News app is much more sensitive again, making article reading almost impossible. I note others have complained here without any success from SBS so can only add my voice to the cranky crowd.
