App is slow and unresponsive

Since the update a few weeks ago, this app has become very slow and cumbersome to use.

MIA ??

This App is not being updated, whatโ€™s the deal?! Remove it from App Store if itโ€™s not maintained!!

Has not updated since mid July

Terrible app has not updated a single news story since 21 July 2020. Technically useless as a news app.

PATHETIC

Pathetic. Every time you go into a story a pop up with the story after the one you want to see appears and IT DOESNโ€™T ALWAYS GO AWAY blocking the content of the story you want to read.
Another point - why should I subscribe to something that should be free. I can get the News off News24 or BBC for freeโ“โ“

Total crap

Doesnโ€™t load ! Just crashes on launch , forced to give 1 star but should be zero

Hi there, apologies for the trouble caused. The iOS 13 Beta revealed a serious bug in our app that caused the same behaviour as this. It has been resolved since if you would like to try it out again. We appreciate the feedback, and apologies for the delayed response. The Dev Team

Hi Akwas, thank you for this great review!

Much improved

I changed from Facebook login to email login and the crashing has dropped to once a week. Value for money can not be beaten

Mediocre News, Not Worth Subscription

Do not support this monopoly trying to force paid monthly subscriptions. News24 is by far superior and always free.
