IOL News Reviews

Pathetic. Every time you go into a story a pop up with the story after the one you want to see appears and IT DOESN’T ALWAYS GO AWAY blocking the content of the story you want to read.
Another point - why should I subscribe to something that should be free. I can get the News off News24 or BBC for free❓❓

Terrible app has not updated a single news story since 21 July 2020. Technically useless as a news app.

IOLNews is not being updated, what’s the deal?! Remove it from App Store if it’s not maintained!!

Terrible design. Terrible navigation. There are much better pains available.

IOL app crashes before you can even access the stories. (on iPad mini)

I love the iol website, so I was excited to see IOLNews . Sadly, IOLNews doesn't allow you to scroll through stories - as you scroll, news items randomly open up. Fix this problem, and you'll get 5 stars.

Doesn’t load ! Just crashes on launch , forced to give 1 star but should be zero

IOLNews needs some serious development work, but then so does the 'Independent' News Group. Much better available for SA News.

Pleeeeease update IOLNews to support the new display on iPad 3. This looks like an awesome app, but the font used makes it nearly impossible to read the pixelated articles. I'd give IOLNews 5 stars if the display is fixed, looks much better than the News24 app.

UX is good but is let down by articles opening up when you are trying to scroll up or down. This forces you to swipe on the thin lines between articles where you should be able to swipe up or down from any position.
There should also be a feedback option instead of using IOLNews review to report issues.

Dear IOL, can you please update IOLNews for the new iPad?

A pretty good effort and a good app to bring all the news in one place, just a pity that the text and graphics are really crap on the iPad3! Come on guys, the new iPad has been out for months now so no excuses for not bringing your app up to date. Sort out this and it gets 5 stars

Text is blurred on iPad3. Nice app though - just fix the text and low resolution pics.

Refresh is slow and it is still not in hd?
News24 app has better user interface

I love this news app. Easy to use, great layout and format. Well done IOL.

Easy to use, rich in functionality

Excellent app - user friendly and easy to find heading and navigate. Thank you.
