Latest update is the worst, with the subheadings hidden away.. Why? Used to be a great news app, steadily gone downhill. Somehow you've managed to butcher it again! The new UI is truly awful! Small photos and text. You all must be on drugs! Luckily I've found a copy of the old 4.4.0 version and will be using that instead. Poor grammar, unreadable text, and sensationalist reporting on slow news day...

Constantly telling me when I try to open the app that I have no Internet connection when in fact I do have 1 which works fine for any other app/website access. Reinstalling, cache clearing, or force stoping doesn't fix the issue and others are having the same problem. The strange thing is that when this happens, the live section will load and work but nothing else so no top stories, videos, ect. Does same thing on data. Your CANNED email suggestion reply was useless, tips don't work.

I like Skynews a lot, but experiencing a couple of issues: 1. On my Nvidia Shield box, I'm getting intermittent app lockups - while watching skynews live, I press the back button to commence exiting, then press it a second time ("home" button highlighted)... but it then gets stuck - I can move left <-> right through the menus, but cannot select anything, and can't exit - I have to do a force close to get out!
