Scroll not working

Since a couple of days, the scroll on any news story is not working. It is just working on the home screen. This same issue was happening a year or two back. Clearly whoever fixed it didnโ€™t fix it properly.

App freezing

I am on iPhone 11 with IOS 15. This Dawn App is constantly freezing on my phone when in use. As it stands it is largely unusable.
Also the web based Dawn is not stable and is constantly jumping up an down. Some serious software upgrades are needed.

App crashes frequently.

This app crashes frequently. I have been trying this app ever since it was launched on iOS. A new version initially works for a little bit, then eventually crashes. If an article is opened, it will just show a spinning logo, no way to go back to main screen. Why make an app when you donโ€™t know how? Just stick to dawn.com website.

Needs update

Keeps on crashing and freezing. Extremely annoying.

UI can be better

I uninstalled Dawn app because of the bugs and crashes. That problem seems to have been fixed. The UI on the other hand is not very user friendly. Especially the โ€œtopโ€ and โ€œlatestโ€ options in the bottom are hard to reach on Iphone X and newer models because of the swipe up function.

App hangs

App hangs when you open any news headline to read it in detail . You cannot scroll down to read that news in full

Full of bugs

This is the most bug prone app on my phone. Interface is very basic but still hard to navigate as simple gestures such as clicks and swipes stop working here. They can pay some decent app developers to make an app that matches the quality of their news contemt

Scrolling issues

App used to crash a lot and now with latest update, scrolling through an article/news is horrible. It moves in millimeters.

Cannot scroll news items

After latest update which was supposed to fix bugs for ios 12, one cannot even read full news items. Scrolling up and down does not work with in an article. So instead of fixing it added bugs.

Buggy

Current version is buggy. Swiping to scroll up and down doesnโ€™t work at all.
