Pros and cons of TODAY – Singapore & World News app for iPhone and iPad

TODAY – Singapore & World News app good for

Overall, it well better than the itoday v1 and strait time app.. But still the catalog of new still need to be improve, also, the font functionality seem abit useless.. Keep it up! Just do it!
As an overseas Singaporean, I use this app to keep myself updated on news on Singapore. Great contents. Articles are short and to the point. I can still read the articles even without Internet connection. Great app! Keep up the good work!
great app, latest updates thru out the day! just need to fix some bugs and itll be even better

Some bad moments

I have experience that apps from mediacorp always have serious interface, stability problems.
It keeps crashing upon launch (after the 5 seconds compulsory advertisement page) even after reboot.
The display of news and navigation works ok for me. However I hate the way the startup screen can just freeze there (presumably waiting for the ad to load) in cases of bad network connectivity, or the app crashes like what the previous reviewer said. Sometimes the ad shows but the close button does not work. I cant even proceed to read the news and have to close the program, bring up the app switcher and then kill the app (it stays stuck at that screen if I just go back to Home screen and relaunch the app). This can happen during my MRT ride (with bad network coverage underground) even after I have purposely refreshed with the latest news just a few minutes before taking the train. Please improve on this! The news available is pointless if I cant even get to the screen to read them!
Some articles will crash the app when clicked on. Updating also crashes the app. Some articles also have text formatting issues. Needs to be better programmed.. :(
Such a boring design. Hard to read and oh, still crashes. Cant be that hard to get this right, right? If you cant get this right, are you sure you can get your stories right?
Day 1 - First launched the app and waited 10 minutes on a spinner with no result. Day 2 - this time start screen content appears, but story content doesnt. Very lame app. Old one was much better.
