Stop spreading lies that somebody pas awey when i stil see them outside sometimes with same faces as those U post n stated as D.E.A.D. Don't like fake news, I know humans typically never die or vanish. They either increase in numbers or move to far places which make u think they disappear but being missing from a country don't mean dead. They only move out but remain alive al times. Get real U unintelligent frog! Get a brain n conscience 2 realize that humens wil never die! Sure of it coz I'm smart!!

You guys really need to improve on user's experience. Scrolling news never been so annoying with ads popping up even when i don't click on them. Been subscribing for 2 years straight (subscription with ads) but the annoyance has become unbearable to continue

This app is a joke. I would be scrolling and for no reason LAZADA app pops up. And I close that and the star online app takes me to the top of the news article again instead of resuming where I was when the lazada app appeared. Is this what I paid a monthly subscription for? To be annoyed and frustrated each time I try to access the news?
