Sometimes the app closes down automatically. ### 3/5 — Letter to Editor *2026-05-08* This app doesn’t have a tab to write a letter to Editor. At least they can mention some email id, where you can write a feedback / opinion. ### 2/5 — App is great. Content is great. Font size too small.. difficult to read *2026-03-01* App is great. Content is great. Font size too small.. difficult to read ### 4/5 — E paper read mode *2025-08-28* In e paper mode, when you click on any portion say वाचकांची पत्रे then it should be displayed as single continuous column and not image. Image needs to be zoomed again and again for reading ### 4/5 — App doesn’t work properly *2025-03-07* App doesn’t work properly for many news it shows ‘Oops! something went wrong’ error ### 2/5 — Not good for reading epaper *2024-08-11* Has become worse for reading epaper. Puravani reading is impossible. Every time it goes back to main paper. Zooming in out is tricky. Have to read epaper on desktop. **Developer response:** Dear user, sorry for the inconvenience caused. We have rolled update with the fix. Kindly update to the latest version of the app ### 2/5 — Poor app usability *2024-07-12* New app is very poorly designed. You have to exit the app if mistakenly clicked on a news to come back to full view. Takes lot of time to load in HD. Previous version was much better. Please rectify. ### 2/5 — Why do we need to login to read news *2024-05-11* This app asks to login to continue reading the news many a times. Why? And the print paper has always maintained its reputation and quality till date. But the online app fails to maintain the same. Mostly click bait news and shallow language and lack of the integrity seen in the print paper. They need to work hard to keep up with the reputation earned so hard over the years. ### 2/5 — App is great. Content is great. Font size too small.. difficult to read *2024-04-26* App is great. Content is great. Font size too small.. difficult to read ### 2/5 — Previous version is far better than the latest one *2024-04-13* New version is having so many issue , view, navigation is become pathetic. The old version was far better. In new version article gets open on click but there is no way to go back, changing supplements is another issue. Specifically epaper app should be very simple. ### 4/5 — Good Marathi newspaper *2024-03-08* It’s very good Marathi newspaper having all types of news from Maharastra , country wide and world wise are also Editorials are good And articles with good literature value Ok Sunday supplement was also good ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor app *2026-07-06* Even though I am a paid member this app that I got is awful. Very difficult to search and find articles. Many articles on web portal are not easily available in the app. ### 1/5 — App issues *2026-05-25* The news, DOnt load quickly. The app keeps asking for submitting reviews frequently. Also, it almost forces to turn on notifications every time I use the app. All this is far away from a Swift news reading experience. Sometimes it keeps showing news that are 20 days, 25 days, 30 days old. Limiting some news only for premium subscribers is another nuisance. However, this part is understandable considering commercial aspect. But why should I pay when the app experience is not good? ### 1/5 — Commercialised App and Not News app anymore *2026-04-06* I am using loksatta since 4-5 years now because other apps were already commercialised. Sorry my post is late but this app is source of money for you guys now and not a reporting app anymore.. On top of that, you started charging money for so called premium accout.. wow..! Girish Kuber sir, Please we trust you and that’s why I started using this app.. In iOS it crashes very frequently… Please please look into these fundamental issues. I hope you will take care.. ### 1/5 — App crashing *2026-02-18* App crashes very often again ### 1/5 — Epaper doesn't load *2026-02-15* Everytime the epaper has loading issues especially Mumbai. Hope they work on it. ### 1/5 — Poor experience *2025-04-29* Loksatta app was fine earlier but there is something seriously wrong with the app. First it doesn’t render the whole news content then it keeps refreshing and content partially disappears.

Hire good developers to build a better experience please. ### 1/5 — App is crashing on iPhone 13 Pro *2024-07-15* App is crashing on iPhone 13 Pro after latest updates ### 1/5 — Very unstable app *2024-07-07* I use iPhone and found this app to be very unstable. It crashes very frequently. After navigation from home page to read detailed news, loading of page is very inconsistent and have observed only partial loading and unstable behaviour of loaded page. Content is good but instability is major frustration ### 1/5 — New look not good *2024-05-27* New look is not good , takes lot of time and also I am not able read sat and Sunday Purvani ### 1/5 — App crashes all the time *2024-04-14* I tried updating it several times, it crashes for 9/10 times when I open and click on any link I just love the content and desperately looking for any suggestion to overcome the crashes of app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Policy change request. *2026-08-08* Loksatta epaper must be free with login through email as previous .It will build reading habit news paper in Loksatta patern.
