Very good app.. Keeps me up to date on the latest news. I just can't seem to view top stories..

B70%
by B####:

Can't seem to post comments on any of the articles, I keep receiving a error message saying "invalid url" when I try commenting. Other than that small problem, I love Eyewitness News. It is the best quality news in the whole of South Africa

I dig your news, but the breaking news notifications can't be "pulled down" to expand it. I have to open the app to read it and then it doesn't exec open on the story, just the feed. The audio news also cuts out in the middle of the clip. It used to do this, was fixed and now started again. Galaxy S5 running Marshmallow

S70%
by S####:

I really like the app. There is however an annoying thing that happens. I have a Samsung S7, but also happened on my S5 with the Android OS. When the breaking news alert is displayed as a notification. When I click on the notification the App opens at the top of the news feed. I then have to search for the specific news item that was in the notification. Often I cannot find it. The text in the notification is also different to the heading in the feed. This has been happening for quite a while. Please fix

N70%
by N####:

The app takes forever to open (truly incredibly slow on my S7 Edge) - and then it only shows one story. I have to scroll around to find more stories.

Z70%
by Z####:

Had to reinstall... Again. Just stuck. Also, takes forever to open. Please the alert must take you directly to the story.

L70%
by L####:

This is a useful app to use. However, when selecting incoming alerts, the app opens without either going straight to the alert article, or the alert article isn't available yet.

Z70%
by Z####:

This application is either extremely buggy or the team updating the content is a bunch of lazy farts! Since the new update I only have articles displaying once a day. The rest of the time all pages are blank. The app remains responsive and doesn't matter how much you refresh the page it remains blank. I've tried my mobile data as well as my WiFi connection in the assumption that it might have been my connection, but this is not the case. FIX IT!

Z70%
by Z####:

Much better content than others, but annoying that it still won't rotate. Only of my news apps that I can only read in portrait.

Love it

S70%
by S####:

I have given the app permission to use my location but it still only gives me the option to get Cape Town news and traffic. I'm in Joburg. Also, it would be good to be able to scroll through the articles as a more concise list, and then see pictures and so on when I select an article. The top level is too busy as it is.
