Customer Reviews
Awesome!
I've been hoping for a decent news app, and I have to say, full marks to the ABC! Delivers news and much more, and it works quickly compared to other news apps I've tried. Really very good!
Edit: nice event update (mid-sept). Was becoming slow and crashing, but fixed now and I like the fullscreen effect with news stories
ABC 123 App for me for all my current affairs
ABC have really delighted in the recent release. Well done guys and keep up the great work team.
Delayed (but great) improvements!
Long time fan of this app. v2.7 was a LONG time coming, but it seems to have made all the updates necassary to keep this App at the top of my News list.
The original iteration of this App was really a trailblazer for good Australian App-based news content on the iPhone. It became a but archaic and quite buggy recently, but this update has really consolidated on the App's initial foundations, and kept it in line with "competitors" (or should I say "complimentary content"?) such as SBS.
Keep up the good work, and keep the updates coming (as needed)!
