2024-04-23	Bhavya Doshi	From bad to worse! Takes infinity to "fetch" stories (a dog can fetch stories faster). Terrible UX: single tap takes you to the next story with no normal way of going back to the previous story. Left or right swipes don't do anything!
2023-08-31	Harshal Garg	I am writing this to let the developers know that since the new feature of 'timeout' has been introduced, the app is not working properly. 1. Whenever I am reading a news in the details section, suddenly it goes to some other news. 2. Whenever I click on a news notification in my phone. It goes to some other news and then I just leave it because I would have to search everywhere for that particular news.
2023-07-18	BOLLOJU ARAVIND	Hi Folks! Some features are not reflecting in the app as it's mentioned on the store note. Here are few I noted 1. Calendar view - yes I came across this but only when all the articles are scrolled up, which prevents user from jumping to specific date whenever he wants 2. Settings are getting overridden each time app is closed - this one I faced when I turned off auto scroll in the settings and when I restarted the app again it is reverting to its default state 3. notifications never worked-fix
2023-01-12	Jayachandra	User experience is the worst with this app. I don't understand the logic behind providing timer. Do you not want the users to click on a particular story and read the news cards associated with it? Are you expecting each user to just refresh and leave it to app's mercy to run timer and move to next article or back and forth? Maybe yours is a next level of AI implementation! User should be in control of the app. Currently the apps appears to be drunk! Atleast provide an option to turn off timer.
2022-07-24	Sambit Mohapatra	New UI is not user friendly. There is no option to turn off the timer. I don't understand why it is mandatory to complete the story in 23 sec. It might take more time for someone to complete the current story. The UI is also not user friendly to read the story in more details. ( Go Deeper option ). Frankly I don't like this Go Deeper concept or option. The old UI was very good. I don't like this tap to go next feature, because most of the Android users are habituated with swipe gesture.
2022-07-14	Goutham Raja	Hey there ! Wanted to let you know this. After the new update that was rolled out recently, new notification supersedes the old one, meaning which I am able to view only one news notification (whichever comes latest) in my notification bar. This causes me to search for the other news, that I intended to read later. Pls look into it.
2022-07-11	Gaurav Yadav	The new interface is absolutely useless. When ui is redesigned, developers should keep in mind the needs of all users. The timer displayed to read an article is on worst side. There should be an option to turn off the timer. The UI design should be simple and minimal. Mandel' Golden rules for ui design should be kept in mind.
2020-06-15	Rishabh Singh (rishi)	Update- Have been using this app since I started using smartphone with enough space to have News application 😅 Somehow editors and mine interests matches almost perfectly in when it comes to technology and sports, however after 3-4 years I finally have a feedback to share, please try to cover more news about national and global politics and defence stuff.
2020-03-09	A Google user	compare to other news reading apps this app pros: wr can see timeline its a good thing and it takes data from different sources gathers information from diff field cons: i see that font is very small it taking time to read and painful for eyes my suggestion it to increase font or give an option to vary font size and make notification on notification bar frequently by every 2 hrs so it is reminder to read news and br up to date about surrounding's and what's going in the world. thanks MANIDEEP
2020-01-08	A Google user	Not able to read old news for e.g i was searching for royal Enfield bike specifications given by the application, but it's giving me an error stating that keep calm internet has left the device where as my internet connection is working very properly. Please fix this as soon as possible because this thing wasn't happening before. Once this thing is fixed I will give this app 5 🌟 because it's absolutely a good application
