Ratings and reviews

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

Too many ads, I used this app for many years. I tap on an article to read then at the same time an ad pops up and takes me to ad, which I did not intend to go into. Then I go back, then I have to search for the article, I wanted to read. Also the subscription articles, its annoying, can you please indicate on the headlines that it is for subscribers only as it's a waste of my time clicking on subscription articles most of the time. I don't have money to subscribe to read news.
