Thank you for this app. As a pensioner I dont always have money for a data bundle, with this app I can keep up with the news. Please make it easier to remove history. eg Select All. Everything is in history, so when finished there may be 100's of things to delete. one at a time take long time. so please.

Free basics is the best. But one problem. Your app is old now for about 1 year. Please make an update for the app where you can get 20mb free data every day just like the free basics site. And your new free basics website doesn't support old browsers like opera mini and default browser. Some people don't get better browsers like chrome, firefox etc. due to low storage or their android versions are too old (below 4.0.3, eg. 2.3, 3.0). By the way free basics are better than before.

This is a very very very useless app, how can use Facebook without viewing the pictures, if it's just for messages so what the use of messenger? It's good for other sites but it doesn't make sense on Facebook at all.

What's the use of bing within this app, if we cannot browse any website without data charges with bing?? That's absurd. I hope next versions will allow at least minimum browsing by bing.

Can't access free Facebook after update.... No picture on previous Facebook... Some sites need money to fully use like the news one can't access articles.

I am Novo, i am greatly benefited by free basics. Add more informative websites such as Tourism , car & helicopters service, Air ticket service, currency exchange rate, overseas college , university, & hospitals ,Website etc. But in facebook , the pictures are not available in the free mode. That is my Number 1 problem. If pictures are seen in the free mode. So Facebook users will be increasing day by day. Thanks by nobo

App takes too much time to be opened on its given free sites. But unfortunately if we turn on mobile data in smart phone then the smart phone itself starts consuming data and balance and we find message by telenor operator that u r using standard data package. And sad to say if don't have balance in phone then the app doesn't show any response. So I conclude; nothing is as such free as we are told.

Since today any free data i want to open tells me it cant operate in chrome and i need to find another browser. No browser i try works...so how do i proceed?

This app sometimes freezes on websites. Better to use chrome or Opera to access the free websites. Go to the free basics website on your browser. On some websites like news 24 only certain sections are free. Note this app only works on Cell C in South Africa.

I'm still happy with the running of the application but please allow all functions of the supported service to be accessible. Good example is News24 where I have to go through the entire site to check which one is free to access.
