Minor bug fixes
Customer Reviews
Was good now rubbish
Dont know what went wrong with this app? Use to be the best news app, now just a waste of time as it takes an age to load new, news items! Have tried reloading several times but still freezes!
Problem with video audio
As the title suggests, the audio on videos are muffled with what appears to be some kind of annoying voice over. All videos are therefore unwatchable, which needs a fix. Otherwise this would be a good app.
Battery power
After the update it uses too much battery power whilst watching the live video stream.
I'm down to 52% from a 100% in 15 to 20 mins of watching it. A significant difference to before
