Excellent
Excellent, simple and easy to use!!
Lag
Omo this app Dey lag like crazy
Lagging News
This app is brilliant, the news content is one of a kind. My main issue with it is that it lags annoyingly. Once you scroll down to get more news content, it begins to lag. It doesn’t matter if I refresh, it continues to lag. The dev. should look into it and fix this bug.
No push notifications
I haven’t been receiving push notifications on my iPhone for some days now. Also, adding a “filter” feature to select categories of news in one’s interest would be much appreciated. Thanks
The Punch
I am delighted to be one of the readers of the most widely read online Nigerian newspapers. It’s ful of current news expressed in a unique style portraying the truth as it is, a trait lacking in major mainstream media all over the world.
Piece of garbage. Poorly developed.
Crashes often and page scrolling freezes after you scroll through the screen. Right now the app has been down for over four days now.
Man dies over soldiers residents clash
Shame on you punch. A classical unprofessional journalism. Supporting miscreants and thugs
What’s wrong
I have not been able to read articles for a while now. Once I click on the headline, it goes blank
Not loading
For a week now the application stopped coming up or refreshing. Even after deleting and reinstalled. So so poor
There is problem
My apps has stopped loading fresh news since yesterday 04 August 2021. Latest news is not updated even after refreshing my apps
Good, but no swipe to go back feature
The news content is up to date and topical however the user experience on iOS could be made to be more functional and enjoyable if the SWIPE TO GO BACK feature is implemented. Please do this in your next update and you’ll get a 5 star.
Not working
This app has not been working in the past couple of days
Notifications broken
The push notifications are broken need to fix please
App malfunctioning
The app is always causing my phone to heat up and it eventually closes. I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing this.
App freezing
Recently the app keeps freezing. After reading a news or two, it takes longer to read the 3rd news. Even when closing or changing app becomes a problem. This happens only with the Punch app. Please fix this.
Terrible update
I enjoy Punch News but this new update is terrible, it hangs, slow, you can’t save, you can’t share, you can’t do anything on the app. Even reading News is now war. Please remove bugs or take us back to the old update
Fonts too big
I preferred the app before the update. Now the fonts are too big even when you reduce it from the settings. The least size is still too large
The comments section not working
Please, fix the comments section, it doesn’t work. I have had the android version of the app for years and the comments section works, but, in this iOS version, the comments section has never worked since I got it.
