Comment on Alliyah 'married' their teacher at 13. No-one else knew

I don’t mind the interactive story mode known as Odyssey that the ABC publishes some articles with, especially some science and climate/enviro pieces. But this one really threw me for a spin because the subject matter is so intense and the screen on my phone was constantly competing for my attention.

Maybe the ABC knows it’s audience better than I do. Maybe using the Odyssey format for this story will help it reach the people who need to read it.

I went looking for a reader mode option in the ABC News app (I set ABC links to default to opening with this on my phone) but couldn’t find one. I opened the article in a browser and hit reader mode and noticed it looked off and I think some html/CSS elements were stripped out or were missing.

I’m going to submit a request to ABC for a reader mode for all Odyssey format content. I found a couple of options to do so:

There is this App feedback for that the app links to from within the app.

There appears to also be mobilefeedback@abc.net.au

If anyone else thinks this is a good idea please submit a similar request.
