Bad

K70%
by K####:

It's annoying how I can't read an article without ads popping up at least 3 times. Sometimes I can't even get through a paragraph without ads. Might be better to incorporate ads into the layout instead of making them pop up when we're reading. Overall though I like the organisation

J70%
by J####:

Improved app, but the scroll bar goes away when I swipe down to see other news. It'll be helpful if it stays so I can switch to other sections without having to scroll all the way up again. Thanks.

K70%
by K####:

Always crash by itself. Extremely unstable. Automatically switch put of the news that one is currently reading when it updates the news list. Sick of it.

K70%
by K####:

AD issue still there, worse is it takes forever for the page to load once you launch the side bar menu.. just freezes the page until an error message asking if you want to close the app. One of the worse apps ever... uninstalling!

K70%
by K####:

After the recent update, the ChannelNewsAsia App is great

K70%
by K####:

Pro: I can read old news from a week ago. Previously can only read past 1-2 days' news. Con: Aside from the ads which are still tolerable, there are a lot of repeated news when i filter by category. E.g. When i just want to view Singapore news, you can see articles repeated a few times in the list and that can be annoying.

K70%
by K####:

Damn, text copying is gone again. Don't understand why news app needs access directly phone call number, GPS, bluetooth, etc. The screen flicker very often when loading contents.

K70%
by K####:

Usable app for daily news updates and watch CNA live. Tested on new Moto Z Play (Android 7). Page load up was fast, swiping left and right for next and previous news was buttery smooth. Watch Live online video load up was fast enough with no buffering.

M70%
by M####:

Don't update. This apps was hung , now it won't run. Shame shame

K70%
by K####:

An app DESPERATE for advertisement. Every section scrolled you will see an ad. You just have to keep closing it. Irritating!

K70%
by K####:

Why do you need to have phone permission to determine my phone number and device ID?? And I thought no more popup ads. After update it's popping....

Y70%
by Y####:

New update done badly. Ads are popping up too often.....irritating and distracting. Think I will avoid this app until they dial down their ads!!

K70%
by K####:

Notification icon unclear - the new icon is now "transparent" and cannot be seen in notification bar, pls rectify!

Y70%
by Y####:

Can't view content offline even after downloaded ... The older version can do it... Seems to me the newer version it gets, the worst it becomes

K70%
by K####:

Every article takes 1MB to load... Is it possible to build on the Compact mode and offer a low data mode with no pictures and videos?

L70%
by L####:

Still room on improvements

T70%
by T####:

Revamped UI is great.

Q70%
by Q####:

Loading is better than earlier version, but ads on every single age, just annoying.

M70%
by M####:

The latest version is much better.

K70%

No web search for vocabulary

P70%
by P####:

Bad

Z70%
by Z####:

Slow to open an article, slow to scroll and overall a huge disappointment. Should take a leaf out of BBC's news app. Smooth, clear and all the categories are all just there. They just work. Lastly, the most irritating part. Why the GPS? Not just a waste of my time using the app, also a waste on the most important resource of my phone.

U70%
by U####:

The new version is horrible as so difficult to use. Could not find the news I am interested. News that friend are talking about is not there or difficult to find where it is. I am sourcing for other easier apps to read my newspaper now. Sorry have to uninstall your poor apps.

K70%
by K####:

The new version is a joke! Every tab/section u click an ad pop up, I have never used an app that display so much ad before. Don't bother to download

K70%
by K####:

The new version is annoying: every change of the news category opens the ad popup. So you're fighting multiple overlaying screens to read the news. Bad implementation!

W70%
by W####:

This new version app is making confusion to readers as well as lots of repetitions. Most importantly, it cannot be offline reading like previous app. Also, many popup advertisements.

K70%
by K####:

Agreed, too many ads. annoying and disgraceful for a singapore based app

I70%
by I####:

The updates are crappy , advertisement are over the page . and it becomes irritating to keep strolling to get to read the news

K70%
by K####:

Breaking news should cover local and internationl events on regular basis

K70%
by K####:

New version cannot select word to lookup in dictionary! Sad... Don't upgrade.

B70%
by B####:

Wat lah still have advertisements and too large fonts, Bring back old one.

V70%
by V####:

The revamp looks great! Navigation and browing makes it a breeze...Ads are tolerable.. Well done guys! And the beauty is... its not pretentious!
