I have been using this app for many days and have recently subscribed to annual premium plan. Though overall experience with the app has been excellent, the auto read option of articles has been below par and it needs an upgrade as there is no pause option to continue from where we have left the last time and it reads everything on the screen regardless of the content. My humble request to you is to address this issue as soon as possible as it reduces our screen time. Thank you

Overall, a great app. Couple of suggestions for improvement - 1) the app theme (light/dark) should follow the system theme. Now I have to manually switch from light to dark and vice versa. 2) the read aloud feature is useful but it's very rudimentary and inconsistent. There's no option to pause playback - if you have to stop, it doesn't have the option to start from where you stopped and will have to start over again. Also, the voice makes really long pauses at periods between abbreviations.

Hi, I'm a premium reader. To enhance the user experience and quality, I would like to suggest some features : 1) Classification of the news in 'Read later' section to make it helpful for revision. 2) Provision to highlight the contents in 'Read later' section to skim through the article in an easy manner. It saves a lot of time. News for people should not be a 'Read and Forget' experience. The above-mentioned features would help to make a groove in people's mind.

There is some bug in the application, when I try to open an article in app using web (redirecting to app) it's not being opened (web browser is just getting closed) . Moreover when I tried to search that article with exact headlines in the app it's not even showing that article. The article was published around april 2009 but the search results list showing articles till oct 2020. If a feature of saving article with highlighting specific text can be added, it would be great full.

Still maintaining the credibility and transparency when its come to unveil the truth where most of the media houses and newspaper doesn't want to show it and not willing to publish it..In this hard time we must believe and hope in true journalism whether it hard to accept it or deny it, because truth must be told in a manner that create awareness in people and hold accountable for those high class people who deliberately discredit the face of truth.

Even after buying full one year subscription for e-papar...this app is constantly showing e-paper's add everytime you open the app to read epaper. Also it doesn't matter if you have already paid for the epaper you need to find it from lots of stuff in app...you can't open it directly.
