The text doesn't fill the screen and is very small. Awkward to read. ### 2/5 — Broken *2025-05-09, version 12.0.0* I have an old iPhone on IOS15.8.4 and installed the latest version (12.0, I think). Neither this, nor the website work on my phone anymore. Somewhat disappointing as I enjoyed the occasional uplifting story in a world full of doom and watching the progress on Abdu’l-Bahá’s shrine. That said, I’m not buying a new phone just yet! ### 2/5 — A wanted app *2013-02-03, version 3.6* I very much want to have this app, but it never seems to update with any new news past the date I downloaded it :( ### 3/5 — Great content but hard to read *2014-11-30* The format of the articles seems to be for a computer which makes it a little difficult to read on a phone. ### 3/5 — Good but? *2012-11-21, version 3.5* Either I can't figure it out, or we're not allowed to close the left hand pane where the headlines are so we can read the news properly. The news is too small and cumbersome to read this way. Please update this app to allow us to close the left side pane as an option. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Needs search function *2017-09-10* Other than that this is an amazing and beautiful app. I feel so connected to the movement of the Bahai Faith! Thank you Baha'i International Community and National Spiritual Assembly ❤️ ### 5/5 — Clean well designed quick *2026-02-05, version 12.0.1* This is the official app to reach the Baha’i news. It’s been optimised for all types of internet and no ads to ensure anyone can access information easily. ### 5/5 — It crashes when I try to link to a video via url link in an article. *2018-11-25* It is such a useful way to keep up with news and projects around the world. There’s this one problem noted above however. I’m sure it’s fixable. I have an iPhone 8 Plus with updated iOS. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Very useful.. *2018-05-01* The aap keeps me instantly updated to whatever is happening in the Baha’i World. Always looking forward for some notifications.. because I know they bring glad tidings, of the positive transformations the Baha’i communities are fostering in the midst of the negative social issues current in the world. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2017-11-01* I get the news in my email, but this is a great way to have quick access. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Incredible and Easy *2017-09-08, version 10.0.1* This app is beautifully designed and helps keep me up to date with what's happening in the Bahá'í community on a global scale. It works incredibly well and is extremely intuitive. I only wish there would be more news articles, but I'm sure that will come with time. ### 5/5 — Best Baha'i news app *2017-04-15* Thanks for push notifications support ### 5/5 — Excellent tool *2017-03-23, version 10* A beautifully design tool to browse and listen to Baha'i news.
