Takes up too much space for a news app

App works decently well. However it takes up 4GB of space, with no way to clear it. Why would a news app require that much space?

Hangs ALL the time recently

Does anyone the apps after it is developed ? I have multiple ios devices and all of the apps hang whether reading articles or ePaper. The app would freeze for seconds or minutes before responding. It's the same for ST, zaobao and BT.

Articles not loading

Latest version doesn’t work properly. 60% of the articles don’t load when I click thru the headlines. All I see is the headline and the leading photo. Will unsubscribe soon, if Straits Times cannot deliver news that we can read.

Home page doesn’t show

The home page doesn’t load…keep showing “your connection was interrupted. Please try again” even though there’s no problem with my connectivity. I have no problem loading the e-paper.

Upgraded to new iPad. ST App won’t load anymore.

I upgraded to new iPad and the Straits Time App no longer loads. I get a white screen and then it shuts down. Any advice to get it working agaIn?

Ad bait

Bad usability. High cost. Still serves you ads even if you pay. Ads are always clicked by “accident” no matter what

Not stable

Two things… I am in NY and now it is saying it can not find the server…. I have to use a vpn in Asia to be able to load content from ST. Even if i subscribed fully still dont have access to everything

Back swipe needs to be changed

ST and CNA need to change their back swipe to take you back to the main page, not the previous article. You are the only news app that does this. If I skipped articles, there’s a reason for it. Why force me back to them?

Tricks you into clicking ads

The ads are so easily triggered while scrolling. Any slight brush causes the browser to open with the ad. I can’t get through a single article now without accidentally opening these ads multiple times. The latest update now also has full screen ads that moves the close button around. Sometimes this button is camouflaged with the background so you can’t find it causing more opening of ads. Such cheap tricks to increase clock through to ads is not what I expected from a respected news source.

Why ads for paid subscriber?!?

The ads are the most irritating “feature” in all the mobile apps. If your subscribers are not given the ability to turn off the ads, then please do not charge your subscribers.
