Like I will right now love to buy the Anandamela pujabarshiki 2022 which is already on stalls, yet to have the same thing on your app, I have to wait for how long? ### 4/5 — Great app but please change the icon *2022-05-07* দারুণ লাগছে ডিজিট্যালি পড়তে। কিন্তু কি জবরজং মার্কা একখানা আইকন! খুবই বাজে লাগে হোমস্ক্রীনে আইকনটি দেখতে। দেখে মনে হয় ২০১২ সালের কোনো ব্লোটওয়ার অ্যাপ। অনুরোধ, অ্যাপটির একটি মিনিমালিস্ট আইকন দেওয়া হোক। আইপ্যাড মিনি সিক্স এর স্ক্রীন রেশিও অনুযায়ী অ্যাপটির স্ক্রীন সাইজ একটু ছোট, সেটা ঠিক হলেও ভালো লাগবে। ডিসকাউন্ট নিয়ে কিছু বলছিনা কারণ আনন্দ-র থেকে ডিসকাউন্ট চাওয়া লজ্জার ব্যাপার। বাকি সবকিছু ভালো লেগেছে। ### 2/5 — Gps not working *2021-11-11* I hv downloaded for ipad and every time its asking to on gps while download although gos is on still not downloading the content ### 3/5 — Credit cards *2021-08-29* No way to pay for it internationally. I would have so much liked to buy most. Such a shame ### 2/5 — Very difficult to buy using credit card from Canada *2020-09-04* Very difficult to buy online using credit card in Canada. Transaction keeps failing. Frustrating. ### 3/5 — Bit improved from old times. Lot of Fine tuning is still lacking. *2020-06-28* এই অ্যাপটি শুধুমাত্র তাদের জন্য যারা ইন্ডিয়ান সাবকন্টিনেন্ট এর বাইরে থাকেন। অ্যাকর্ডিং টু আনন্দবাজার: আপনি যদি কলকাতা বা ভারতে, বা ভারতের ত্রিসীমানার ধারে কাছে থাকেন তো আপনি মুলো চুষতে পারেন, কিম্বা নাও চুষতে পারেন... কিন্তু ভুলেও আইওএস ডিভাইসে বাংলা ম্যাগাজিন পড়ার কথা ভাববেন না। Update: 28th June 2020 - Finally ABP is allowing Calcuttans and Indians to download this app for reading Bengali magazines. Both free and paid contents are there. Pricing of magazines are really attractive. Definitely deserves a 3 star rating, an upgrade from the previous 1 star..! Cheers..! ### 5/5 — Trouble accessing magazine *2019-10-07* Couldn’t download Sharadiya Anandamela. ABP doen’t even bother to respond emails. App quality also not ready for release. No offline reading support - User needs internet even after downloading a magazine. Also for a reading app supporting native iPad is a must. ### 5/5 — Finally kindle killer *2019-09-25* Finally we got something apart from kindle to read our Bengali books. There may be some fault with the app but kudos to this endeavor by ABP. I know they will fix issues soon. Atleast now we have something as kindle alternative from India. That’s what makes me proud. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Abp mags *2022-02-07* This is one of the worst app I have ever used. Books purchased not updated in apps, writing to abp helpdesk don’t help either as they simply don’t bother to reply. Annual payment of 999/- just in total waste. ### 1/5 — Very poor performance.Most of the time the current issue opened. Wait days after days. *2022-01-08* As mentioned earlier the current issues never opened.Waited days after days.ABP sites not even respond. Now repenting. ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-11-15* Even after gps on, not able to download magazines. Still showing turn on gps. Fix bugs ### 1/5 — Sad but true *2021-09-30* A very good initiative by abp, a perfect example of leading from the front for Bengali publications including magazines as well as literature. Hope other publishing houses also follow this. However this future ready initiative is going in vain by the support service provided by abp. They are a bunch of jokers who never reply back on your query or complain or anything else. I have my doubts that there is any egghead who actually reads the emails, forget about the reply. ABP should fix this as soon as possible. All the best for future success. ### 1/5 — Gps issue *2021-05-17* When I am trying to download a magazine it is always asking to turn on GPS but I have already given the permission. Please solve this issue ASAP. ### 1/5 — Not working on my iPad Air 4 WiFi version *2021-04-26* Every time I am trying to purchase they are showing to turn on GPS but GPS permission already given & showing the GPS sign in bar. ### 1/5 — Cannot buy subscriptions from USA *2020-10-13* Whatever credit card I try is denied. No idea what payment method is appropriate. There is no communication from the developers so I have no idea what to do. Also tried the PayZapp method but still received "transaction cancelled". At least the free magazines can be read but I really would prefer to subscribe and be able to read the pujabarshikis. Dear ABP, if you continue to turn away legitimate paying customers, you are going to promote piracy of your content. So please fix this, or mark the app for use in India only. ### 1/5 — Cannot buy from USA *2020-10-10* Tried to contact several times but no one is responding!!!!! ### 1/5 — Pathetic Service Support *2020-09-10* I Have never seen such a worthless response from any professional Organization. On 30/08/2020 I have paid for subscription of 5 magazines + all Sarodiya issues. Also received the receipt over mail. But can’t download any magazine from the app. No subscription at all activated in the App. Most surprisingly I have mailed to the mail id mentioned and also send 3 reminders . Till now not a single reply!!!!. Is it the culture of ABP ? Shame . Regards, Jayanta Chatterjee. ### 2/5 — Lack of Pujabarshiki 2022 *2022-10-05* The app is OK..but what about Pujabarshiki 2022? Is it plain laziness or abp does not simply care? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Superb stories and other topical issues. *2021-10-27* Brilliant content. ### 5/5 — ABP e-pujabarshiki ekhon anek sundor upojogi screen er jonnyo *2021-10-10* Last two years this new software is very suitable for online readers and moreover users friendly, I must say. All years can display in one window and page scrolling option is very essential and perfect. The resolution also good and colours are soothing for eye. I really love the display and overall design. Thanks to ABP team. ### 5/5 — Grateful *2021-05-08* This is perhaps the greatest way for me to touch my roots through my adolescent and abiding live for DESH ### 5/5 — খুব সুন্দর ভাবে পাচ্ছি ম্যাগাজিন গুলো পাচ্ছি।ধন্যবাদ অনেক। *2021-03-13* খুবই প্রশংসনীয়। ### 5/5 — Paid for the pujabarshikis but does not show up in my library *2020-11-02* I had paid inline almost a week ago, but I still do not see the books in my library. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2020-10-18* Salute to you for your brilliant endeavour to the people living outside India ### 5/5 — Great app for Bengali magazines *2020-05-11* Reading layout , navigation is extremely well designed. Very useful app for reading magazines on the go. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Must have app for all Bengali readers *2020-04-29* This app is something that the readers have been waiting for long. Accessing Bengali magazines on the move or outside the circulation boundary had been the challenge. This app fixes the gap and does it in a wonderful way. ### 5/5 — Excellent step *2020-04-25* Want to thank you for enabling us to enjoy a taste of our childhood through this online platform. Please bring it all into this platform, create a subscription model or let us just choose and buy specific magazines. ### 5/5 — This app is all a book lover Bengali needs *2019-10-11* I can access the digital copies of my favourite magazines from all over the world, what more can I ask for? This is a great initiative and I truly admire the effort of the developers who made something like this for the Bengalis. I can read all the Pujabarshiki along with the regular issues of Anandamela, Desh, Sananda, Anandalok and Boier Desh.
