Rubbish!!! ### 1/5 — Business Day Live *2012-08-24* Great app to get South Africa's breaking business news. Clear sections by topic. Updated 24/7. That's worth at least 4 stars. But that was only for the first week. Now it fails to load and drops me back on my iPad home screen. Same with its sister app BD Live. Please find and fix the bug so I don't have to go through Safari everytime. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App usage *2025-11-05* Terrible interface and difficult to find articles and navigate. Shocking ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-11-02* Home page and most Read… only…. Now just a waste ### 1/5 — Terrible App - Turns your phone into a brick *2025-10-28* With the latest update, the app simply publishes around 10 to 15 articles. No search functionality, articles not grouped by topic/theme, no ability to go back to earlier articles (not even the prior day) and no links within articles to other articles on the same issue. It’s pretty much how an app would function if it was written for a brick. Sending emails to the feedback email address on Business Day website, returns an “undeliverable” error. Go figure. ### 1/5 — Destroyed *2025-10-22* Updated App is now useless. I’ve deleted it. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-10-22* This app is so bad you can’t even click on the review app button in the app. No way to navidpgate to different sections…stuck on most read ### 1/5 — In-app scrolling is unresponsive *2022-02-16, version 5.1.1* For the past few months the app has become very clunky. When scrolling in an article, the screen wille freeze, sometimes for multiple seconds, before you can scroll further. Also the case in the iPad version. Please correct this Business Day! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2016-10-10* I was hoping for a big improvement, but seems like it is not to be in this iteration. Takes a very long time to load, and crashes regularly. Disappointing, considering the pre-launch hype. ### 1/5 — App usually works great *2014-04-12* The app is usually really great, but it suddenly stop working. When I try to open it, it takes long to open and then just closes before it opened. I tried closing it, deleting and reinstalling. Still does not work. ### 1/5 — Crash *2012-11-19* This application continues to crash, does not even open anymore. Please sort this out. ### 1/5 — Useless *2012-11-06* Always opens up to an annoying advert which you have to see everytime. Takes ages to open too, if you are lucky. In reality it fails to open more often than it works. Don't bother! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great! *2011-06-23* Great to see this SA news app! ### 4/5 — Good with room for improvement *2025-10-28* App is nice. It’s missing a way to save or highlight stories that one wants to re-read later. ### 4/5 — Well Done *2011-11-18* I think this is a very competent execution of a mobile app, great interface, nice balance of slick & sexy vs. core functionality. Here's wishing you every success! ### 3/5 — How do you login on app? *2017-02-24* Can't find login button or links to other publications that our subscription allows??? ### 3/5 — is BDLive still working *2012-11-12* been using for months and now it has stopped ??? ### 3/5 — Great content rubbish update system *2012-09-15* The content is great. However when there is an update available it does not appear in the app store updates section. Instead you have to update through the app itself. The app won't work unless you update and you end up with two BD apps after the update. Silly ### 2/5 — Limited info *2026-02-23* You do not have access to all the articles in the paper. Its a limited sample ### 2/5 — S. *2025-11-05* The old layout on iPad was way more easy to navigate. The photos don’t load properly - either as thumbnails or as full pagers. Please ask your CEO to read BD on an iPad for three days. ### 2/5 — Video and weather feeds don't update *2013-10-03* Well designed app, but these two parts have never updated ever since I installed 3 months ago ### 2/5 — OK app, but keeps crashing *2012-11-10* App OK if it works. News 24 is much better. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
