### 1/5 — Poor App

*2022-04-02, version 3.5*

Arab News is disappointingly poor as it often crashes. It is also difficult to manoeuvre.

### 1/5 — iPad App doesn't work!!

*2015-12-05, version 3.1.2*

The Arab News iPad app doesn't work. You can't access any article. I keep clicking all over the screen, and it doesn't take me anywhere. I really enjoy reading Arab News on my iPad, as well as my iPhone, so please fix it as soon as you can.

### 1/5 — Loved the app till the new update... Arab News pls fix it !!

*2014-12-08, version 3.1.2*

I have been using this app since it was first launched a few years back... One of the most amazing news app out here in he app world..!! 

However, all has gone bad with the new update.. App crashes a lot and I can't download new or old paper editions... 

Arab News pls find a fix for this soon !! Really miss reading your paper on my iPad

### 1/5 — You ruined this app

*2014-08-07, version 3.1.2*

I have used this app for several months and loved it then the last update killed it. App crashes and link to read current paper closes the app. Can't download and read latest edition... Maybe go back to previous version. No bugs then. Unusable in current state. WHAT A SHAME

### 1/5 — Arab news

*2013-08-22, version 3.1.1*

Not able to open print editions window as I click on read printed edition the whole window closes down

### 4/5 — No more crashes.. No more annoying!

*2013-04-25, version 3.1.1*

Thumbs up for the update!

### 3/5 — after update there is no favorite button and switch view type button anymore

*2013-04-25, version 3.1.1*

Every time I use the favorite bottom to book some articles I'm interested in ,but after the update all the button disappeared I don't know why of it.pls check the new version

### 1/5 — Very poor app

*2013-02-09, version 3.0.1*

This very poorly designed. No functionality as full articles open only as text. Very frequently app crashes. Print edition embedded view does not work. Whoever developed this should learn from thousands of other news apps available.

### 3/5 — Not stable and needs some improvement

*2012-11-03, version 3.0.1*

I've been an avid reader for past 8 years and since I moved to UAE I've been relying on e-print of this news paper and this app is one good source for me to carry around with my iPad. One tragic flaw is the print edition needs Full Screen. And at rare times the app crashes. Please fix these two options. And wouldn't mind addition of double tap zoom on particular articles/columns. Hope to see quick fix to these.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2012-11-01, version 3.0.1*

It's crashing all the time I use it
