User reviews

This app is such an irritation. You cannot read the news as the advertising keep causing the page to jump back. Its been like this for months and nothing is done about. I had enough of this. Goodbye news24.

Jesus to my Rescue Ministries, 2024-12-04

More ads than news for subscribers, articles jump or will not open. Why break something that was not broken November 2024

Ludwig Beethoven, 2024-11-21

Advertisements are making articles difficult to read. If you are reading an article the text jumps to make space for the advertisement, which is really frustrating and irritating. Please make this to stop as we are paying for access to the article but need to constantly scroll up and down to try and find where you were reading before the advert popped up. This not acceptable for a paid service.
