i24NEWS

Was it my imagination, or was there live news video in English? This week I decided to watch live I24 on my iPad as I worked in the kitchen. I pressed “live news”. There was a black screen with audio. No video. I relied on I24 for my news from Israel. This app has become worthless. Very disappointed. It was frustrating before as the late afternoon and some evening program were crazy Israelis screaming at each other in Hebrew so quickly that I can’t imagine any one could really understand what was being said. Or the nonsensical English translation that made no sense and left sentences hanging. I really appreciated the analysists sharing in depth facts and analysis that regular news and media organizations are found antisemitic or impossibly ignorant. Please fix what worked in order to continue watching live I24 live broadcasts again.

The app does nothing but slow the iPhone to a crawl an eventual lock it. Perfectly useless. Deleted. Figure out a way ads can be used before the app disintegrates. Sorry to say it’s be delete contact me when it’s bed upgraded. This used to be a great app to get headlines worldwide. It had the fastest Push Notifications. Now it’s extremely frustrating to use and I no longer get Push Notifications. The barrage of ads make the app jumpy. It freezes or scrolls backwards. Ads load, pictures may load. The story may be there for a second and then vanishes. Comments take to long to load if the do. The longer you’re on the app the worse it gets until it freezes completely. You need to cut back on the ads to make the app functional. As it is they use up all the bandwidth so there’s nothing left for the articles. It’s been updated several times and seems to get worse with each update. Please fix it or remove it until it’s usable. Right now it’s complete trash.

A nice working app. I didn’t have the same issues as some other reviewers. If you subscribe on the webpage (not the app) you get a month free trial which I’m grateful for as some of the commentary I heard after the atrocious El Paso shooting were unacceptable. An i24NEWS desk person inaccurately described what our President has said in the past about the Mexican people. They I pay careful attention to daily news and rest assured you can get the very same wrong 24 hour streaming info for free from the very slick and well made CBS app. I am so disappointed in i24NEWS, I had my hopes up they would be a cut above. The 24 hour stream features s Spanish speaking hour that had some interesting bits on South America. Sadly this news service is not for me, that’s why the 3-star rating. Well worth a try though as it might suit you.
