The app becomes laggy after last updates. The text cannot be copied. The app has become more problematic. Also not all articles can now be viewed on app, only limited no of news available, as compared to before the app update. Message kept popping up for "Close App".

Ads go off all the time, even when we're simply trying to scroll past to read the article. Desperate to garner fake clicks?

Luckily, i subscribe to the app instead of browsing the free version on nlb app. It really makes reading easier, & smoother even on hp format. And the article is also more in-depth than the free articles easily accessible online. Would be nicer though if photos can be zoomed in for a clearer pic. And also, I've subscribed and logged in to the app. Doesn't make sense in a high-tech Sg, the app can't auto let me read the articles locked behind a paywall.

I'm a subscriber to the ST, but somehow it keeps showing me the paywall on the app for subscriber only articles.. despite having logged in. Article access works fine on the web version. Major buggeratoon. Please do something to fix this soon!

Bigger fonts
Could have been better with bigger fonts adjustment for older people with bad eyesight. Maximum size can be increased further.
