## Review summary

Users praise CNA’s strong, multi-source coverage, but report major UX and stability issues: intrusive ads, lack of landscape support on tablets, crashes and load problems, and missing accessibility features. Push notifications are unreliable. The content itself is solid, but the app experience is hampered by reliability and usability problems.

### Pros

- Strong, multi-source news coverage from agencies with local Singapore/Asia context.
- Content loads quickly and is generally up-to-date.
- Clean, easy-to-navigate interface in the newer version with a focus on current Singapore/Asia news.
- Good for cross-checking facts due to multiple sources.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads and video ads that disrupt reading, including autoplay video ads and pop-ups.
- Poor tablet UX: no landscape mode on iPad/tablets and navigation issues, making reading and browsing painful.
- Stability and reliability problems: app crashes when videos play, won’t open, or hangs frequently.
- Missing accessibility/features: cannot easily adjust font size and offline download is unreliable.
- Push notifications don’t work (and some feedback features don’t function).
