Hope DC team fixes this issues and release a updated version ### 3/5 — Before release check the update *2019-11-14* Local news not up dating ### 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. O.F.Reddy ### 4/5 — Good App *2019-02-09* Good one ### 2/5 — New issues coming up *2018-02-27* I don't know what happened to the app. 1. Notifications are not coming up properly anymore. The only notifications I get are of Sensex and nifty 2. On opening the app, the default category being that opens up is “Top Stories” however, after the last update, the app crashes after opening it. 3. However if we click on a notification and that news opens up, the app runs smoothly. And then if we navigate the app, all other categories are accessible except “Top Stories” On opening “Top Stories” ,the app crashes again. ### 4/5 — Smart!! *2017-07-30* Excellent.
