Comments on SABC News for Android

★★★★☆ Julius Segole · Aug 15, 2020

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.

★★★★★ Sophia May · May 5, 2022

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.

★★★★★ Candice Payne · Dec 3, 2022

Very good App. I didn't realize it before. Sometimes we are too quick to get annoyed when things don't go our way. This is a very good App. Lots of options to get the news. Thank you and well done.

SABC News - You cannot forward any articles to WhatsApp??? When you try it tells you the App has a BUG that has not been repaired - as yet... Kinda Pathetic!

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.

★☆☆☆☆ Anthony Zambelli · Feb 22, 2024

Slow to load, slow to load stories, slow to exit a story and change, minimal detail, and an obvious propaganda mouthpiece for the ANC. Crashes on occasion. A sad reflection of South Africa. Don't bother. Rubbish

★★☆☆☆ Tebogo Letsoko · Oct 24, 2021

What's good? I get to read the latest news from SABC. What's bad? When I listen to a radio station, it will stop playing after 5 mins. I have close and open the app or press play several times. It's a bad app.
