This thing cuts out a lot when you are listening to the radio, I've had to replay it 3 times in a space 10 mins or so, it's nice invention for the SABC, Please fix the bugs.

The digital stream on RSG delivers poor audio quality. It crackles like an FM radio and often pauses and stutters, this while I can watch Netflix over the same connection without a hitch.

Good app, only issue is using the livestream function on a phone which does not change to full screen or allow to rotate to landscape mode so you can only watch it in the small box in portrait mode.

Brilliant application, been waiting for this for the past five years. Please put in a Sleep Timer, so that I can listen to a radio and set it for e.g 40 minutes to switch itself off while I'm already asleep.Also fix the stoppage that happens when the fone locks.

This is the poorest app I have ever used, it freezes when listening to the radio and watching the news. When you are listening to the radio in the background it abruptly cuts and you have to go in the app to open it again. Very poor

Great app but I am still not happy that I cannot navigate back using the phones back control (<) . Fix that and I will never go back to News24 app which is too commercial. Update 7 Oct 2021: Thanks you for fixing the above. Now I can open this App read news without getting irritated.

The live TV feature does not auto-tilt the screen to horizontal when you tilt your phone horizontally. It only allows for portrait viewing which clearly offers limited viewing. Terrible user experience and silly oversight that could have been otherwise avoided.

loving the app as I am now able to stream radio but the issue is that it keeps on disconnecting(app crash) and I have to re-open the app then connect again to start the streaming which is really frustrating to say the list.

Not bad for a start, straight to the point and simple...i think the navigation needs improvement, little slow navigating to different menus, buffering as well and 4k streaming would be great...the exit button does not work, no way of existing the app..great start though!

The concept of the app is good. The news feed is almost awesome but the "Listen" feature is problematic. It keeps buffering as if thats not enough, it keeps "timing out". Third party apps are way better. My expectations were that the app will meet all my meeds simce its an official app but Nah.

The app doesn't automatically stop streaming when it disconnects from Bluetooth so you continue to hear audio through the phone speaker. There also isn't a setting to stop streaming when disconnected from WiFi so you will waste data if you forget to manually stop the app when outside of WiFi range.

Viewing from device really cool and clear. Excellent app. Definitely news on the go. Great sound and clear pictures. No hiccups. Definitely recommended for the busy man in the office and local people in busy households where there's only one TV Set and many viewers but different channels want to be watched. Mobile is the way to go.

The app no longer give you access to articles just headlines. I think they trying to drive traffic in their whatsapp page. If you interested in reading articles dont bother to download.

Quite a nice app with very useful features. I used it to listen to SAFM, but unfortunately, I have had to get an alternative app because when my phone goes on standby, so does the app, and it's really frustrating to have to put my password all the time and go to the app to get it play my favorite radio station.

App news not updating timely since the last update. It used to update almost immediately on access. Now, it can even run with the same news headlines for days without updating.
