### 3/5 — Downloading is a huge problem

*2014-09-01*

Loved this app. Best way to read Chitralekha. Version 3.1.4 was supposed to fix a downloading issue but has made it worse on my iPad. Barely 3 or 4 pages download before the app stalls. Then I have a monkey around to make it download 3 or 4 more pages. Background refresh does not seem to work at all. 
Please fix this broken previously 5 star app.

### 1/5 — Fraudulent with subscription. Already paid for 1 year till May 2026. App is not allowing to restore

Really worst

### 1/5 — Subscription issues

*2023-09-29*

Hello we need to try figure it out but it’s not resolved please answer my email

### 1/5 — Can’t even login

*2021-12-29*

The UI experience is very poor. Had to request a refund

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2020-09-17*

Paid 149 during lockdown. But I can open it only twice. Yesterday my acc. Is again debited without my knowledge. I want to cancel automatic payment.

### 1/5 — Utterly useless

*2019-02-15*

Electronic edition should be cheaper than the real thing. Isn’t it? If not, why would anyone purchase electronic edition and that at an exorbitant price? Only fools can. And only stupid and idiot publisher would allow it to happen!

### 1/5 — I don’t like

*2018-03-06*

Not happy with service they took my money but I cannot read seen February 5th .& no one responded my email or phone calls

### 1/5 — Magazine is good but app is not that great

*2016-01-08*

They need to improve app. I like the content. App is not great....

### 1/5 — CRAPPY APP

*2014-10-01*

All my purchases have disappeared and the app is asking me to subscribe when I am already subscribed

### 1/5 — Logic less

*2013-12-23*

Hardcopy is already available @ 20₹. Then why should anyone purchase soft copy @ 55₹. At least we get 1-2₹ back when we sell them in scrap.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2013-10-12*

App is junk and doesn't load. Once they created an update for IOS 7 it doesnt load on iOS 6. They need to fix this bug immediately.
