My best news app that other dailies are reporting from. Always updating me with trusted current information whenever I feel like knowing what's happening around me with ease, even at the comfort of my bedroom. Correct spellings, brief and clear writings. Dear punch, more grease to your elbow.

Though at first after download wanted to prove stubborn but its great now apart from that the world news section doesn't load any new. Please do something about that and that's a five star you will b getting.

I love the app so much. Thank you. Also, advertisement is not much of a problem which is rare. One thing could ask for is if we could add a feature that would help to sort/flag some keywords. Cheers.

Punch as pulled off another landmark, despite the lack of viable competition. However, I'm knocking off one star as the editorial section doesn't work. As soon as that is fixed I'm returning to five stars.

Buh d new update option is white which reduces visibility. Change that. Also d ad's pop up after reading d news is a very bad idea. If it continues I'll ve to look for anoda newspaper.

I have been a regular reader of punch articles and I enjoy it, most expecially reading through my mobile phone. I get prompt update on the happening around the globe. But, the app consumes alot of data. I don't know if the app has facility to watch or listen to news.

Great app! However I'm taking one star off because of the annoying adverts that fill up my screen after reading a story. WORK ON THAT!

The pitfall of this would-be great app is in the plenty annoying ads that keeps popping up so frequently. If u wanna sell the app, pls sell it and remove the annoying apps permanently.

Its a one-stop app for for various kinds of information..., if you don't have the Punch App, you are really missing some juicy handy news, as fresh as they come.
