2 big problems with the app which makes it difficult to use. 1. Can't upload images when twitter opens embedded in the app. 2. When pressed back, it sends me to the home page, instead of the article that I was reading.

Great work you people are doing. But still some tecnical features lacking in this app are: (1)Signing up or adding up a profile. (2) personalization according to user's news/facts of interest. (3) please add a dark mode. White colur in low light is just so painful to read for longer time. (4) please add a comment section that enables others to discuss their opinions on the topic. And i think that's very vital for such type of contents. I'm asking for too much, still expecting for improvement ☮

You are the best in journalism no doudt. You make people open our eyes. But there is a technical issue i think since past 2 weeks. Whenever I want to open it . The internet speed went down to zero. I don't know why. I am using jio.

Doesn't give a good experience. The app is not responsive enough. And why is there no option to upload a url link?? It's the easiest way anyone can upload a fact check. The two stars are for Prateek & his team's journalistic ethos. The app actually gets a zero from my end.
