Have tried uninstalling & reinstall - just keeps coming up problem opening ?? Has triplej, really wanted 2 use it
Worked great at first then nothing what's the problem !!??
Nice concept but what does it do? I tried to choose my location - it assumed I was in Africa. Click on something and it's usually merely a link to a website. Some links like TV just don't work. It's slow, even with high speed wifi. What we expats really need is access to ABC TV, and a user-friendly interface with D-FAT. The current system for registering with consulates is downright hostile. Facebook??? Come on. Please improve it and I'll use it.
It stops immediately on opening app.
Buggy and crashes on Nexus 6p. Good concept, I'll download it again in a few months and reassess.

Excellent collection of stuff for Aussies and friends whether they are overseas or at home. I recommend this to all here in Aussie land, not just repats. Well worth 10 stars!
Not a great deal of content updates, slow app load, some crashes. Advertising heavy on A+, so pls put some of the budget back into the development
I live in Indonesia. I have not been able to use it because it takes forever to open and times out. From the advertising hype u would think it is the bees knees. What is the use of an app that you can't use.
Very slow loading and takes too long to do anything. Better off just going to the website.
Great content...how to enlarge text font size?
No Australia+ TV guide. Fail. No currency rate customisation. Fail.
But the ABC radio keeps failing to work....
Good spread of current affairs and info...nicely presented
Improvement is needed!
Australia is the best

Had this on for 2 days and wondering why my phone was flat halfway through the day. Checked battery use for the app -25%!!!. I've since removed the app.
Doesn't work.
I love it
Good for keeping up with Australian news and events while overseas.
Got lots of stuff in it!
Cool app

Simply too much sports news, followed by too many local colour/crime stories (at the expense of politics etc) . Would prefer ABC just allowed its regular news app to be downloaded overseas.
