★★★★★Oct 14, 2026
Glitching lagging constantly worse and worse

It’s never been ahead of global business media brands but lately it’s glitchy, lags and freezes - usually around their self-promoting ads. Best thing I can say is I move to the WSJ, Bloomberg and FT apps faster and I’m going to save $300 this coming year cause these people can’t be bothered with digital capability

Not worth subscribing these days

The editorial content is not worth $75 a month for anymore.

★★★★★Jul 29, 2026
Couldn’t be more painful

Occasionally, I get a page who asked me to login. So I logged in today using the Apple password. A warning message came up saying I needed to change my password. So I just followed the prompts that Apple’s password app gave and I just entered the world of limbo. Thanks Apple thanks AFR. Here’s a tip. Maybe if you’re developers actually used Apple products and were subscribers of your newspaper, there wouldn’t be this hassle. I didn’t see any icon saying your password has been successfully changed.

★★★★★Jul 1, 2026
Paying for advertisements?!

I’m absolutely amazed that even with the hefty subscription price, the Australian Financial Review still forces ads on you in the App.

★★★★★Mar 15, 2026
$69.95 per Month

It’s $69.95 per month yet the AFR writes articles on why the government isn’t doing enough to get the cost of living down. I’m happy to pay $20 per month & you’ll have me as a lifetime subscriber. Nine Newspapers should think about the lost opportunities on their high subscription model.
