Ratings and Reviews
Really bad interface and slow.
Definitely needs improvement. Very slow moving app and poor interface. Takes too long for articles to load rendering it near useless. Could use some tips from a well known rival - SCMP.
So so.
Not the most pleasant experience but easier than getting the news directly of their website.
The app isn't that pretty to look at or that well laid out. First, at the bottom is a menu bar that allows you to change settings and the like. This together with the advertising banner takes up nearly 2cm of screen space.
Second the various section headings are very narrow and placed at the top of the screen so one handed use isn't the most comfortable
Third, auto fetch is very slow. It takes a couple of mins for all of the articles to download. There are hardly any photos in the articles so the slowness is beyond me.
Download takes forever
This was a great app before the 5th of Jan update. Now it takes around 15 minutes to download,literally and minute or two was how long it used to take. Very frustrating and needs to be addressed.
