HOW SURE ARE WE
Lower confidence: this app ranks below the overall top 50 everywhere, where single estimates can be off 2 to 4 times. The range is wide on purpose. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Latest reviews, Australia Google Play.

★★★★★Oct 12, 2026

The app seems okay. The editorial standard is poor. Its not Animal Farm guys.

★★★★★Oct 8, 2026

I would have liked to score this app lower than 1 but the system doesn't let me do that. The paper is fine but the app isn't. It crashes frequently (like 6 or 7 times a day) and the Technical Department does not respond at all. It was fine until about 6 months ago so it seems it could be fixed. None of the other apps I have on this device do this (crash frequently) only The Australian app.

★★★★★Oct 7, 2026

I recently purchased a new Samsung tablet S11 to replace my out of date mini ipad. The result is extreme disapointment in trying to read the Australian (the main reason for having a tablet). The formatting is terrible, especially the crossword, making it impossible to enjoy. I have read numeroys fixes, none of which have made the slightest difference. I It seems that I will have to ditch the S11 and buy a new ipad?

★★★★★Sep 21, 2026

Having just replaced my iPad with an Android tablet, I am now finding one bug after another in The Australian app.
