Important app news for subscribers

Welcome to your new app, featuring a curated Home section, more breaking news and a rebuilt Mind Games with extra puzzles.

Dear subscriber, at The Australian we’re committed to giving you the best reading experience on any device.

You’ll notice significant changes to the app, including more news updates and exciting new features.

The main changes

• We have introduced a Home section featuring the most recent and important news, commentary and features selected by editors. This section will be updated at 7am, noon, 5pm and 8.30pm on weekdays, 7am on Saturdays and 7am and 1pm on Sundays. We’ll alert you when the Home section is updated.

Taus app update home screen

• To keep you informed our editors will also update the Nation, Business, World and Sport sections in the app when they publish a new story. We’ll also alert you to important news whenever it breaks and other stories we think you’ll enjoy.

• Mind Games has been rebuilt to work on all devices and new puzzles added.

• We have adopted Times Classic Display — the same font used in print - to improve readability, and design tweaks will make the app visually richer.

• Today’s Paper is easier to find in the navigation.

A note on alerts

You control which alerts you receive. Simply head to the settings section in the app and choose the notifications you want. However, we encourage you to turn on alerts to ensure you are always informed.

Q&A

Will I need to sign in after the app update?

Yes, but once you have you will remain signed in.

Will I still receive an edition alert at 6.30am?

No, but if you turn on Edition in Settings>Notifications you will receive an alert at 7am for the first of our new Home updates and at noon, 5pm and 8.30pm each weekday.

Will I still get access to the print edition?

Yes, and we have moved it into fifth position on the navigation.
