Extrem poor application getting in the way of good journalism. 1. App is slow to load article headers 2. Adds of different sizes are inserted every few articles. Adds shift the other content, so one can't easily keep one's reading place i.e. content keeps on being moved around. 3. As per above scrolling through articles is stucky and annoying with content jumping around all the time. 4. Why doesn't News24 dev team learn from other good news app... which provide a smooth, enjoyable experience?

...our team has put in long hours...give it some time and...you will get used to the nonsense. The way news24 copy and past their responses,and the responses itself are just plain tone deaf. It is definitely not an enjoyment to use the app in its current state. 2020. Edit - after a lot of complaints the app improved. Now, 4 years later...2024 News24 is at it again! Ads popping up - UNEXSPECTEDLY- in articles, forcing you to fumble back and fore to find the place you were reading last. Same story
