3rd October 2026 update has broken the app

Since the latest update, the article text does not fit on the page, they extend beyond the width of the screen horizontally, and bookmarking an article forces a IOS popup. The latest update has turned the app into a hindrance. Please revert to version 2.6.5. because it worked better.

3rd October 2026 update has broken the app

The article text does not fit on the page, the bylines are bold for no reason, bookmarking an article forces a IOS popup. The latest update has turned the app into a hindrance. Please revert to version 2.6.5.

Shameful app for such a prestigious news organization

When the last major update was 2y ago, it was a much overdue surprise to see the Official Dawn app being updated. Yet again though, disappointment.

The very basics of such a simple app aren’t right. For example, why is text cutting off in the right margin? How? Do you not have any quality control or testing in the development team?

Utterly disgraceful for an organization like Dawn to have such a subpar online presence. I want to remind the development team and the leadership at Dawn, it is the 21st Century.
