Please implement optional subscriptions for ad free experience. ### 3/5 — Good but need very improvement *2026-03-21* Content is very good but app oftenly crashes while reading articles and it's so frustrating ### 2/5 — Bugs are there, App widget is crashing all the time. *2026-01-27, version 9.5* You can’t open any article from App Widget. Its keep crashing. Very Annoying ### 2/5 — App gets killed, while reading article *2025-11-03* App does not allow to zoom article. It automatically un-zooms it in every 1 min or so. This is super frustrating and on top of that, app gets killed everytime after 10-15 mins max. ### 2/5 — Poor app optimization *2025-05-14* App crashes after few minutes on iPhone 13, latest iOS. Also someone had mentioned couple of years ago that the app needs dark mode and I fully agree, can even add a FT style tint ### 2/5 — App reloads, too many ads, and suddenly stops working *2025-04-04* This app can be much better if you just show limited ads or do some better frontend programming because everytime(no exception) I zoom-in to read any news it automatically zooms-out when a new ad appears, this keeps happening every 10-20 seconds which is very annoying. After 1 minute the app suddenly closes and we need to restart to continue reading that article. You really need to spend some money to give developments to better developers who doesn’t do quick fixes for temporary problems but creates a better UI and consistent app to better reading experience. I’m saying this being a developer and I’m sure there are many other great apps like Divya Bhaskar so it can be a bitter dose of truth but to stay in competition you need to give best reading experience by investing some money in it. Overall, I love reading Ravipurti and Shatdal so installed this app to use in USA, but this annoying experience of too many ad-banners popping up that zooming out the screen is hard to read. I’m sure this is everyone’s opinion. And yes, I’m using best iphone to use your app so I have no doubts abiut my hardware to run this app. Hopefully, you bring good user readability experience. ### 4/5 — Button Not working *2025-01-29, version 8.6* On Home ‘Read More ->’ button is not working. ### 2/5 — App is not working *2025-01-27* I regularly read GUJRAT SAMACHAR when I am at home I read the newspaper & when I am out of town I use to open the app on my mobile phone & read. Now last two days I as m not been able to open the app & read the news Reason does not know to me. ### 2/5 — Automatic zoom out *2025-01-23* If I am reading news it automatically zoom out , it’s very annoying, even i off auto refresh but still it is zooming out by itself, not happy with, even persistent advertisements which doesn’t go. Sandesh news paper is good. They are not even asking for email,where as Gujarat samachar asking for email address ### 1/5 — Not publishing E-Paper at midnight *2024-10-13* Please release E-Paper at midnight.

And we cannot go ahead from one page to another. Since the app is updated the problem started. How to read the newspaper paper. This update is too bad. Fix it immediately. ### 1/5 — Advertising App *2026-06-27* The new version of this app is completely ad based version. We are sometimes not able to close the ad page and hv to close and reopen the app. No use of paid subscription. Such a looting mindset from GS was not expected. ### 1/5 — Full of Advertisements *2026-04-28* This app is not a native iOS app, bit just a web wrapper, which is basically the same as their website on a browser. If that was not enough, user is greeted by full screen model advertisements every now and then, which cannot be closed easily and blocks the user from doing anything. ### 1/5 — Worst UX EVER *2026-02-14* Zoom is really giving a hard time to the users to read..

And topics and city news are not as related, Title is Baroda while news is from Jamnagar. alos, Suppose to be India and Eu will do announcement but it saying India and USA. GS team please, put some efforts and people to keep it at top level. ### 1/5 — Scrolling problem *2025-09-01* When we are scrolling the news paper it shut downs, even some times when scrolling the video it shut downs the app. So many times it happened. Developer must have to solve this problem. How to read the news paper if the app gets closed? ### 1/5 — App crashed *2025-08-29, version 8.8* App is suddenly close in ios 18.6.2 so please check and update ### 1/5 — How to close ad pop up *2025-04-02, version 8.6* There is no option for close ad popup even though watching full ad. One of the worst experience ever. ### 1/5 — No English support in app *2025-02-22, version 8.6* Lacks english support for readers looking for regional/local news in English. Considering the fact that the website has content in English but not the App, this is a missed opportunity. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great experience *2026-07-06* It’s great to see enhanced news reading experience with cleaner design.
