## News24: Trusted News Reviews in South Africa

### *---- "Worst SA news app by far"
This is by far the worst news app in SA. Driven by click bait and BS adverts plus unsolicited information sharing. Can’t ever get hold of anyone relevant and zero feedback. Do not rely on this app for genuine news as they are purely driven by click bait and adverts.
-- Dthsonic123456, 2024-12-13

### ***-- "Valuable news source"
Can u make it user friendly please. As subscriber, if u signed once on same device, it should remember u..why must u sign onto the site everytime u wanna read locked articles ?
-- Oukay ke, 2024-12-10

### *---- "No Trustworty"
Mostly propoganda fake news
-- Stringfellahawk, 2024-11-10

### *---- "Okay, but biased."
The app is fine. This is not aimed at the hardworking devs! You will get news regarding SA, but as with all things MSM, they have tons and tons of implicit bias. They don't even try to hide it due to how big of a player in the space they are. If you live in SA, get your news from multiple different sources.
-- JanPapPiel, 2024-11-08

### *---- "Not Reading Friendly"
Why are you not making use of the IOS Reader feature? Twitter can do it. Why not you. I can’t subscribe
-- JDzaza, 2024-10-16

### *---- "Pathetic Opinionated Drivel"
Used to be a good app until they started force feeding the highly biased and self proclaimed terrorist loving Mondli Makhanya’s opinion pieces (That no-one ever asked for by the way) down our throats. I went to news24 for unbiased journalism, not Mondli’s factually incorrect, personal thoughts and opinion. Definitely will not be paying monthly to be spewed lies! Won’t be back!
-- CharlesGlass, 2024-09-26

### **--- "Content good, but iOs app 👎🏼"
Note that you cannot use your Apple subscription to access News24 in your internet browser, even though there is a button to sign in with Apple. I was told to just use the app. Also tried to reinstate my subscription now through the app, am subscribed but cannot access articles 🙃😝
-- karienvanderwesthuizen, 2024-09-14

### **--- "Sign out"
Please for the love of earth stop signing me out of the app every time its updated! Please improve loading of conte. Lately the app is blank when i open it, have to close it and reopen it!
-- Musicmate1981, 2024-09-10

### *---- "Even with subscription, still infested with ads!"
Think the title says it all.

I have paid for a subscription and this app is still completely infested with ads everywhere. 

Between stories, ad!
Top of the screen, ad!
Inside a story between paragraphs, ad!
-- ArsenicJds, 2024-09-06

### *---- "Useless App"
It’s useless to use News24 to follow up with what is happening in the World, reason being for you to know the whole story you need to subscribe 1st on top of that it needs you to have data.

I would advice you not to bother and Try it
-- Mmjhhjjj, 2024-08-27
