This should happen when tapping ### 4/5 — Dark mode *2024-09-18, version 8.3* Dark mode please. ### 2/5 — Crash King *2024-09-18* EDIT: The app heats up the phone terribly after the iOS 18 update. ————————- If there an app that is the king of crashes then it is this app. The app has various levels of crashes - random crashes, timed crashes, crashing while tapping on the ‘Alochito’ section, scroll-time crashes, and many more. Kudos to the developers for mastering the art of app crashing. The app also heats up the phone terribly. ### 3/5 — Scroll is Laggy *2024-08-04, version 8.2* New app UI is way better than the old one. But page scrolling is not smooth in this new version. Feels like I’m using a 40 Hz refresh rate in a 120 Hz display. However, thanks for iOS gesture based back button inclusion. Please fix the refresh rate issue. ### 4/5 — Profile Picture *2024-07-10, version 8.2* I can’t add my profile picture here. There has no upload option. ### 3/5 — Redesigned App (version 6.2) Needs Modification *2024-06-27, version 8.2* Ad-free version of iOS app needed. If need against subscription. Apps are distracting and may carry malware. Please take it seriously ### 1/5 — Login Failure *2024-02-13, version 7.2* Can not log in into the ios app! Screen freezes every-time while submitting the password. ### 4/5 — Dark Theme Needed.. *2023-12-01, version 7.2* Everything was fine but Requires Dark theme. Dark theme is easy on the eyes. Please add dark theme to your app 🙏 ### 1/5 — as bad as it gets! *2023-10-28, version 7.2* Hello developers and QAs of this app, go find new type of jobs! morons! ### 1/5 — Video adds are disgusting *2023-09-28, version 7.2* Totally disgusted with the way adds come. Definitely adds will come as this is free for us but the way all on a sudden video adds come and stays such long time, this is totally unacceptable. Sometimes we read news in quite places where we do not expect adds with automatic sound. ### 1/5 — Too Much Ads!!! *2023-09-15, version 7.2* Way too many ads, very annoying! ### 1/5 — Ittitating App *2023-09-01, version 7.2* Too much ads. The worst app for such a newsaper. Hated it. Depeted immediately. ### 1/5 — Too Many Ads Ruin the Experience *2023-09-01, version 7.2* I've been a user of Prothom Alo since last 17 years and in web it is about 10 years. But the recent surge in ads has become extremely irritating in this app. It's frustrating to encounter not one, not two, but sometimes three ads just to read a single news article. Even worse, the app frequently crashes during reading, which is beyond annoying. I understand the need for ads to support the app, but this level of intrusion is just too much. Please, Prothom Alo, find a way to reduce the number of ads or offer a premium ad-free version. Otherwise, I might have to delete this app and look for alternatives. The user experience is suffering because of this issue, and it's time for a change. ### 1/5 — Too much add *2023-05-22, version 7.2* We are not with this app, ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-04-17, version 7.2* This app needs to be taken off the app store, every single time u try to read something or important column , ads pop up straightaway. Finally deleted this crap. There are better news apps out there. Take this app down @apple. ### 1/5 — !! *2023-03-31, version 7.2* To much add ### 1/5 — Keep crashing *2023-03-26, version 7.2* Keep crashing ### 3/5 — Too much add *2023-03-07, version 7.2* Too much add ### 2/5 — Tried of ads *2023-03-05, version 7.2* Last few months i stopped using prothom alo app though it was only Bangladeshi news app I have in my phone. Whenever i open it, I can’t use it for more than 10-20 seconds and ads start coming. This app like now free games where you have to watch ads to play. They should develop the app and not just leave it as some cheap game apps. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Decent but missing Dark Mode *2026-04-28, version 8.19* Without Dark mode it’s very difficult to use the app at night. ### 1/5 — Disappointed — Still No Dark Mode in 2025! *2025-11-03, version 8.15* I really expected better from Prothom Alo’s app. It’s one of the top Bangla newspapers, but it still doesn’t have dark mode, which is standard in almost every app these days. Reading news at night is a pain — the bright white background strains the eyes, and it feels outdated. The content is good, but the user experience is seriously lacking. Please add dark mode soon — it’s a basic feature that readers have been asking for for years! ### 1/5 — Yellow Journalism *2025-08-26, version 8.13* They specialise in yellow journalism and are controlled by Indian agencies ### 1/5 — Hala *2025-07-22, version 8.11* Mother chood khankir pola motiur poder alo tore bhoira dimu ### 1/5 — Cheap *2025-06-23, version 8.11* Earlier it was good enough. But now it turns into a garbage! Every time I click to read a news , I can see only ads no news at all. The headlines have become irrelevant , illogical in terms of the inner details. ### 1/5 — সুবিধাবাদী নিউজপেপার *2024-11-28, version 8.6* ইসলাম ধর্মে বিরোধী ### 1/5 — Add Dark mode *2024-09-29, version 8.3* Add Dark mode as soon as possible ### 1/5 — Difficult to Navigate *2024-07-13, version 8.2* It’s very hard to make a comment. I have logged in so many times but the app keep kicking me out. The commenting system is so primitive! I can’t believe that a leading newspaper has such backdated app. The more frustrating thing is that, things don’t change either. The issue with the comments has been there for years now. ### 1/5 — Super Slow *2024-06-23, version 8.2* Version 8.2 is super slow, sluggish scrolling degrading user experiences. Always ask to log in, may be sso does not work properly, which is not encouraging to add comments. ### 1/5 — The app feels really web like *2024-06-15, version 8.2* The text choices are limited,does not change according to system font size, the app has no dark mode, and it feels even worse than the website sometimes. The content is good though.Thanks 😊 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — To much ads… *2022-04-12, version 7.2* Too much ads. So , I have now deleted this app. ### 5/5 — Update *2020-09-14, version 6.1* There is no update option. ### 5/5 — the best bangla newspaper app *2020-08-29* before the update it was already my favorite news paper app and now when they made an update it's more convenient . i read this newspaper since 1998 or 1997 .
