| 2024-12-04 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-11-21 |  | | More ads than news for subscribers, articles jump or will not open. Why break something that was not broken November 2024 |
| 2024-11-20 |  | | Still seeing ads despite paying subscription fees. Defeats the purpose. Thats why i unsubscribed. |
| 2024-11-20 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-11-17 |  | | Every article has the subscription. I understand that journalists need to get paid but every article?..Quite a useless app now. Thanks for the last 10 years. |
| 2024-11-13 |  | | New app is nowhere as good as the previous one. EDIT: All my other apps have dark mode. News24? Edit2: 2 years on and still no dark mode??? Edit3: still no dark mode? Could you not implement this after 2.5 years? Really? Edit 4: Nearly 4 years later and still no dark mode. "It is on our map". Sure! |
| 2024-11-08 |  | | I'm done with this rubbish race baiting "news" Site. Terrible journalism. Unsubscribed and app deleted. Good riddance to bad rubbish. |
| 2024-11-03 |  | | Got a subscription but can't view anything as page just says "you are offline" or "sorry, something went wrong" |
| 2024-10-27 |  | | Detailed, objective and relevant articles. Some of the bottom ads are typical toxic click bait stuff, but they are at the bottom and can easily be ignored. The main article ads load in simultaneously so that the news text don't bounce around all over the show (Appreciated!) All in all, it is acceptable with a reasonable subscription amount. But I still feel that the main article ads should be less for subscribers. |
| 2024-08-14 |  | | ...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 |
