### 4/5 — App Crashing on iOS 17 and above

*2023-09-28*

the DC mobile app is crashing (not even opening) as im curently using a 11Pro with iOS 17 and with recent security updates..
Hope DC team fixes this issues and release a updated version

### 1/5 — Very slow..

*2021-02-26*

*2020-12-02*

Useless app

### 3/5 — Before release check the update

*2019-11-14*

### 2/5 — Good app and good news but for disgusting ads

*2019-09-12*

There are absolutely in-appropriate and un-necessary pop ads on almost all articles and pages. I assume DC is not that money starving and bankrupt company at the stage that you need these ads for surviving. This shows cheapness and discouraging for readers. Please remove ads and make it a more professional work.

### 4/5 — Review of Deccan Chronicle

*2019-03-17, version 3.4.7*

I am a subscriber of Deccan Chronicle since 1960 at Hyderabad. I first had an opportunity of reading the Chronicle at the chambers of my illustrious cousin late Justice Sri.O.Chinnappa Reddy and at residence of late Sri. Thikkavarapu . Chandrasekhar Reddy. This English daily covers local, regional, national and international news. I consider it a popular family daily as it meets the taste of all ages and gender containing pages on entertainment, cookery, puzzles, wordmine, sudoku, health, time-table of railways and airlines etc. Above all it’s editorial and Subhani’s cartoons are most apt and meaningful.
I now live in Australia and I still read this daily on internet.
