### 3/5 — Cannot delete unused magazines and newspapers

*2025-09-18, version 4.73.2025090211*

It’s very frustrating not to be able to delete old and saved newspapers and magazines. I have no more data on my iPad because of all the old and saved newspapers and magazines. Please make it easier to delete them.

### 2/5 — Poor feedback

*2025-03-30, version 4.60.2025031109*

Netwerk24 does not respond to emails or acknowledge suggestions for improvements, which gives the impression that the news agency does not genuinely value reader feedback.  I am really close to rather start searching for other alternatives.

### 3/5 — Greatly improved app, terrible at notifications

*2024-02-27, version 4.45.2024022009*

The navigation in the app has improved from the frustrating older versions, but app push notifications are still broken. I receive ALL notifications even though certain types of notifications are turned off in the app settings. Gave feedback through the app and the customer care consultant told me first that they’ll unsubscribe me from all emails, and then re-explaining my problem told me how to turn off ALL notifications on my phone. Gave up. Will see how long I can stand the constant feed of push notifications of stories I don’t care about before I unsubscribe.

### 3/5 — Yes for news no for ads

*2023-12-14, version 4.43.2023120610*

I love the news articles but the way adverts just open in my browser when I scroll down is extremely irritating

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2023-05-28, version 4.32.2023051114*

App crashes every few months and does not allow me to sign-in, no matter what. (You want me to call a call centre to troubleshoot an app???)  Only way to resolve is to cancel subscription and delete app.   Content often have typos and bad language  construction. Your comments  on news are often only placed the next day making it irrelevant.  If a comment is not placed due to the comments policy no feedback is given as to how you have breached the policy.  Contains a high number of adverts and sponsered content for a relative expensive subscription news app.  New news is often placed in the feed at the bottom, forcing you to keep on scrolling.  App does not (like other international news apps) limit the landing page to a set number of reports, forcing you to scroll into ‘old’ news.  This means you spend a lot of wasted time on this app looking for new news.

### 2/5 — New upgraded Netwerk 24

*2021-10-30, version 4.12.1415*

Since the new upgraded Version I have experiencing endless problems where I am unable to get and read the newest paper. The only thing that works is if I delete the app and reinstall it EVERYTIME!!!!!  Been a subscriber for years and the magazine available also getting less and less.

### 4/5 — n Stap agteruit

*2021-09-07, version 3.8.8*

Die huidige toep is n ramp. Soos iemand al vroeër gesê het: n BMW is vervang met n Tata en nou moet gebruikers daarmee opsnork. Om n suksesvolle resep te vervang met n uiters power nuwe ontwerp, is n swak sakebesluit. As bestuurders van Netwerk die kommentaar sal lees wat hier gegee word, hoop ek dit dwing hulle om te herbesin. Ek was vd begin af n entoesiastiese gebruiker vd toep, maar nou nie meer nie en dink al daaraan om dit te kanselleer. Ek wil nie langer so sukkel nie!

### 2/5 — Sorry but cannot take the ads anymore

*2021-08-25, version 3.8.8*

Understand that ads are important for income and to pay the people who work for you. However, many people have complained about the obtrusive nature and nothing is done about it. The ads are as large as the content and too sensitive, leading to the browser opening without the intention on every reading occasion. Come on guys! Find an innovative way of dealing with it and I might reconsider again one day.

### 3/5 — Toegang tot sekere artikels

*2021-05-20*

Ek vind dat, wanneer ek laer ek af "scroll" in die toepassing, party artikels nie oopmaak nie. Dit vat soms tot 5 probeerslae voordat die artikel laai. 
Andersins is die toepassing goed.

### 4/5 — Why do we need adds?

*2021-04-26, version 3.8.6*

I just don’t understand why we need adds in an app when we pay a subscription

### 3/5 — Sommige artikels laai nie.

*2021-04-16*

Hierdie probleem bestaan al lankal

### 1/5 — No ads please!

*2021-01-25, version 3.8.5*

The persistent casino ads on the app is extremely distracting and makes reading the articles difficult. You cannot even scroll away from it... Don't mind the 'odd' ad here and there, but this takes it too far. Will definitely consider cancelling if this carries on.

### 2/5 — Blank screen

*2021-01-20*

Most of the articles I click on just show up as a blank screen. I am using the app on an iPhone with the latest ios version installed.

**Developer response:** Hi Writtler18756 ,

So sorry to hear about your annoyance! Please use the “Kontak ons” "Stuur 'n boodskap" feature within the menu of the app or email us at diens@netwerk24.com with more details, so that we can investigate further. Thanks for reaching out – we really value your feedback.

Best regards,
The Netwerk24 Team

### 1/5 — Latest version of Netwerk 24

*2021-01-15, version 3.7.5*

I am really not impressed! The previous version of Netwerk 24 worked well in my Apple 4 IPad. I then downloaded the latest version but now can not get it to open. The app starts with the Netwerk 24 screen and then goes back straight to the home screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled again but the results are the same. According to the app write up the software is adaptable to iPad 4 of software. I can't seem to reload the older version and I now have to read the news via the website which is a sleb.

### 2/5 — Not up to standard

*2021-01-11*

Most of the time the menu doesn’t open; it’s just blank.  Tried to log it with the developer, but that link takes you only to the app where there’s no option to log a fault.

Received a reply from the developer with instructions to log a call through the option on the hamburger menu, but it’s the hamburger menu that doesn’t load. It’s just blank! So frustrating!

**Developer response:** Hi gfugcggji, So sorry to hear about your frustration! Please send an email to diens@netwerk24.com with more details such as your device and OS version and the issues experienced so that we can investigate further. Thanks for reaching out – we really value your feedback. Best regards, The Netwerk24 Team

### 3/5 — Goed, maar nog goggas

*2020-12-25*

Die toegang tot ‘n wye reeks media maak die subskripsiefooi die moeite werd. Tog begryp ek nie waarom daarna boonop “Google Ad Service” advertensies noodsaaklik is wanneer ‘n mens ‘n ingeteken en betaal het nie?

Ten opsigte van die gebruik, het die app het ‘n paar lastige punte. Soms is die artikels te raaksensitief en artikels open terwyl ‘n mens na onder beweeg. Intussen het die bywerkings hierdie probleem egter verbeter. 

Daar is ook dat die verbinding tussen die gekose artikel en inhoud verkeerdelik verbind, bv. ‘n mens druk op die koronastatistiek, maar word na die Amerikaanse verkiesing herlei. 

Die verbinding tussen die artikels en titels is dikwels traag, d.w.s. ‘n mens kies ‘n artikel, maar die inhoud neem lank om te open/laai. 

Daar blyk ook ‘n slegte verbinding tussen die gebruikersdatabank en app te wees omdat my rekening in die aanmeldingsproses nie altyd slaag nie en “hang”. Die app meld ook dikwels vanself af. 

Daardeur dat hierdie ‘n betaal-app is, het ‘n mens dikwels hoë verwagtings en sedert die volle iOS-ondersteuning van die donkermodus, benut die app hierdie funksie nog nie.

**Developer response:** Beste Biggs_ZA,
Dankie vir jou terugvoering. Jou bydrae as intekenaar help élke dag om joernalistiek van hoë gehalte en nuusdekking uit elke hoek van die land, in Afrikaans, te skep. Dié taak vereis egter ook inkomste uit ander strome soos advertensies. 
Om ons in staat te stel om verdere ondersoek in te stel, stuur gerus ‘n e-pos vanuit ons app deur na ‘Kontak Ons’ onder die navigasie te gaan. 
Baie dankie vir jou terugvoering. Dit word waardeer.

### 1/5 — Utterly the most bug ridden service in the store

*2020-12-20, version 3.8.5*

Utterly the most bug ridden service in the store - and I am not even being dramatic. I was SO surprised - at the both - the App’s ambiguous working, as well as the lack of knowledge when trying to get service support to sort things out. 
I kept the app on my phone to show other people how an app / service should NOT work. Even kept the subscription up to date for a while - just to demo to my colleagues how NOT to build a service. Funny actually.

### 1/5 — Partial acces

*2026-02-17*

I can only read some of the news papers with my subscription. Rapport, Beeld and Volksblad do not want to open.

**Developer response:** Hi Cygnet34, Please use the “Rapporteer 'n fout” feature under “Profiel” in the app or email us at netwerk24app@24.com with more details, so that we can investigate further. Thanks for reaching out – we really value your feedback. Best regards, The Netwerk24 Team

### 1/5 — Subscription but no access

*2025-09-19, version 4.73.2025090211*

Trying to get into Netwerk24, have a active subscription from App store but keep being told I have a valid apple pay but I am unable to log in. Really dissapointed. The app and the help functions are really poor, why is there no sign in only a sign up. So frustrated. Also cannot cancel the apple subscription and then ending up paying again.

### 1/5 — Sowing ads everywhere even when paying for the app

*2024-03-21, version 4.45.2024022009*

Showing ads everywhere even when paying for the app. The app also locks you out every few weeks, and when trying to log back in it only gives you the option to create a new account. Then I have to contact support again just to be able to log in.

### 1/5 — No payment option in app

*2024-02-26, version 4.44.2024012511*

There is no payment option in app or option to change your payment methode, look into adding that because its more convenient than needing to log into a web browser to do that. Make things more convenient not complicated

### 1/5 — No dark mode

*2024-02-03, version 4.44.2024012511*

While the app is ok, for a news app, it is absolutely horrible to read at times, especially at night without the option to use dark mode.

Perhaps one of the easiest changes to make in an iOS or iPadOS app, the lack of making the reading experience better for people that prefer to use dark mode, is simply not logical. Bearing in mind, that these readers are paying a monthly subscription to access the content… and the developers can’t be bothered to offer dark mode.

I have even asked the developers via the support link when they were going to introduce dark mode, and the response I received was that it wasn’t even on the dev backlog. 

So only 1 star, until you introduce a more comfortable reading option with dark mode.

### 1/5 — Unable to read my mags

*2022-12-20, version 4.27.2022121212*

I have deleted the app and reinstalled it, I have deleted my cookies and cleared my cache.....to no avail....I am still unable to open any of my paid for subscriptions, although my debit order goes off VERY timeously on your side every month. 
Can I even hope that an agent can make contact to assist? I wonder.....

### 1/5 — Pathetic compared to previous version

*2021-12-12, version 4.12.1713*

This is the worst effort of an app I have experienced, and that for a massive media company!🤬
On the iPhone 11 if you click on the picture enlarge, it opens a picture exactly the same size as the original. Pinching and expanding function is disabled. No details of pictures can be seen other that taking a screenshot and opening it in pics.
Reporting it it via the app has no response
Please restore to the previous version before this "new look" and fire the developers

### 1/5 — Worst app - not working

*2021-10-26, version 4.11.1313*

The new app is not working properly - does not open on new newspapers - simply give you old ones. Also blank screens if you want to read a particular article. Reported it but after 4 days not corrected. Simply told it is with technical staff.  Really poor service.

### 1/5 — Disappointing paid-for offering from one of the largest media companies in SA - Naspers

*2021-09-21*

Most (not all) articles refuse to load without any explanatory messages
No IOS featues:-
- No support for landscape consumption  (via auto-rotate )
- No support for IOS gestures
- No breadcrumbs to aid navigation

In summary - less user-friendly than a late 90s web-site.

**Developer response:** Hi dan the man in ldn ,Sorry to hear of your frustrating experience. To enable us to investigate further, please send an email directly from our app by going to ‘Kontak ons’ under navigation.
Thank you very much for your feedback. It is appreciated.

Best regards,

### 1/5 — Frustrerende platform

*2021-02-08, version 3.8.5*

Sommige berigte maak nie oop as ek hulle kies op die tuisblad nie, slegs ‘n blanke skerm kom te voorskyn op my iPad. Met geluk kan jy toegang tot sekere van hierdie berigte kry indien jy deur die artikels ‘blaai’ van voor af. Ongeveer helfte, indien nie meer nie, van die berigte reageer so. Het ondersteuning gekontak sonder enige terugvoer. Nie die maandelikse koste werd nie. Verskeie van my vriende en familie deel dieselfde frustrasie. Vermy!

### 5/5 — Advertisements

*2024-02-27, version 4.45.2024022009*

The sensitivity of the advertisements on the app is too delicate. If one barely touches an ad, it takes you there. Please adjust this. It is highly irritating.

Verder, great app!!

### 5/5 — best news company

*2023-08-02, version 4.34.2023071309*

ever since I got the app no problems I would definitely recommend🤩🤩

### 5/5 — New version October 2021

*2021-10-02, version 4.0.0*

The new version is fantastic!  What an improvement.  I have reinstated my subscription because of it.  Well done.

### 5/5 — Lockdown magazine and newsday reader

*2020-05-23, version 3.7.4*

I've been a My Subs subscriber from start. Now forced to read the the magazines and newspapers on Netwerk24 and very disappointed. I've upgraded Netwerk24 on May 22 and since  have no access to Netwerk24. As, for years now a paying subscriber to Netwerk24, contacted Netwerk24 but it was unsuccessful. It is a big frustration as it is lockdown level 4 and nothing to read! What a disaster!

### 5/5 — Netwerk24 is fantasties

*2020-05-06*

Wat ‘n wonderlike app. Alles wat nuus is, is altyd hier te sien en is betroubaar. Die formaat is maklik om te volg. Tydskrifte en koerante is so maklik om te lees. 
Op mySubs was dit net makliker met die aflaai opsie, dan hoe jy nie heeltyd op wifi of data te wees nie. Maak epublikasies ook so, asb.

### 5/5 — Terrible app bring back My Subs

*2020-03-19, version 3.7.1*

Slow. Unresponsive. Not intuitive. Thinking of cancelling since My Subs taken away

### 5/5 — Comment

*2019-10-10, version 3.6.10*

News is on time available and worth reading because of diversity

### 5/5 — Layout

*2018-12-12, version 3.6.1*

Missing the traditional news paper layout  look @ feel.
Having a list with related articles is good for topical research, but not typical news paper reading where a variety of articles flow one after the other.

### 5/5 — Breaking news

*2018-10-03, version 3.6.0*

Please create a heading where all breaking news items go. The reason is, when I open my device, there maybe 5 breaking news stories. I open the most important one for me, but then I don’t know where to find the other 4!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2018-02-18*

One of the best news apps on the market
