Don't bother. Just reeks of greed. Typical. It's just all about money. some things you have to subscribe to read. Money. Now the entire life section is grey and not loading. Let me guess... it will load if one subscribes.... Money. Greed. Again typical.

Hi Rolene Jones, Thank you for your feedback. Quality journalism comes at a cost, and News24 relies on subscriber support to fund independent reporting. Subscribers also enjoy PDF editions of leading English newspapers and magazines, audiobooks and more. The Life section loading issue is not subscription-related. Best regards, The News24 Team

The worst news app I've come across. Ads keep loading, moving the text and forcing you to keep searching for your place in the article. It also keeps requesting you to subscribe, takes a lot of data to load and you can't access previously downloaded articles offline. (Some better news apps allow this.) And there's option to block pictures, so even more data is required. It also needs a pretty good data connection to open, something not guaranteed in South Africa! (My other news apps opens easily

Used to use it to read articles, and undertandably some articles ( about 30%) I couldn't read cause the subscription only. BUT now, recently, it seems to change to 90% which makes the app useless. I don't mind the adverts... but it's now changed too much. It was useful to be able to identify BEFORE OPENING the article that is subscriber only. It's now a real waste to click and then find out I can't read it. I understand your need for subscriptions, but just be upfront with the app user

News24 will no longer indicate which of our stories stand out above the rest, which is why the red 'for subscribers' tags are gone. All of it will comply with our high standards of what constitutes quality journalism. Breaking news and live updates on major events will be free, while the bulk is exclusively for subscribers. Try us free for 14 days.
