The core app us good but, unfortunately, the widget is now pretty useless, and that was my main way into the app. Now, when you press on a story, it just opens the app, and, half the time, you can't find the article you were particularly interested in. That's a frustration and I'll probably disable the widget soon if it does not get fixed. I have a number of news apps from around the world, and I certainly use much more ones that have widgets.

One of the best news services and service apps I've ever used. Pretty incredible, really - especially on reporting speed - finger on the pulse sort of thing. A lot of people bust on the ABC. This site shows the strength of a lot of hard working reporters, no frills, no nonsense.

Since the last update, when you finish reading one story and press back, the app takes you back to the top of the list of news articles instead of where you were on the list before clicking onto the article you had just read. In other words, your search of the day's stories is reset each time you have finished reading one. Very frustrating to have to keep scrolling down through previously read stories to look at the next one in line. Please fix this. 🥹
