– All the latest news as it happens, features, spotlights & opinions- all in one place.
– Set text size to suit your preferences

– Share stories on Facebook, Twitter, Email and all other preinstalled applications
– Direct link to our Facebook & Twitter pages
– A night mode to enable you enjoy the app in the dark

The App is already receiving positive reviews from users in the Playstore. However, the Newspaper’s business model — Ads — which seem to be very intrusive is creating alot of backlash (as expected) from the same users.

Download the App here.
