So i have uninstalled it ### 1/5 — Worst advertisement (not news) app EVER *2021-05-17* A lesson in how not to make a news app everyone! Filled with spam and ads it gets so frustrating! Opens to loooooong ads and to top it off while scrolling it keeps opening ads in browser without any clicks. On top of this scrolling is exceptionally bad. Not to mention the app getting stuck on news pages several times. Tried my best to use it but gonna change to some othe better Malayalam news app now ### 1/5 — It only shows advertisements *2021-04-20* It is worst application ever i used When we click on a news it shows 1 minutes advertisements So i recommend don’t download application it is waste of your data ### 1/5 — Literally Infested with Ads!!! *2021-04-20, version 3.0* So bad that you can’t really use the app ### 1/5 — Bad experience.Ads on opening time *2021-04-16, version 3.0* Iam planning to uninstall this app. We are apple user.think and correct ### 1/5 — Ads dominate and control *2021-03-03* I just uninstalled the app because it has become such a nuisance with a lot of ads that loads up as soon as you open the app. You don’t have any control over it but wait and read. Sometimes you don’t have both a timer and a close button. This is quite unfortunate. The people who sign up for ads should also take a stab on how many uninstalls due to this ad menace. I was a long term user of this app but had to uninstall due to this new ad features. ### 1/5 — Bad spp too many pop ups *2021-02-15, version 2.9* Very very bad app.. I used to like it very much in the past but nowadays too many Ads and not able to even see the news as pop ups come through take u out from the news . Wrote to Manorama but no actions I prefer daily hunt now to read the news and deepika Jaison ### 1/5 — Ads spoiling the experience *2021-01-25, version 2.9* Tons of ads, right from full screen ads on startup, which spoils the experience. Nowadays the app simply opens up spam webpages on my browser even while I browse through news articles. ### 1/5 — Shiju *2020-08-26, version 2.7* Videos are not loading, very slow to load pages on iphone 11 pro. ### 1/5 — Very disappointing *2020-02-26, version 2.5* This app is very disappointing as this come from one of the biggest News agency from Kerala and India. This app is not stable enough to read the news as this always shut down and the news tab will go to the home page in 4 or 5 seconds after opening and the videos cannot be viewed. They need to learn from Times of India and other publishers how to run a successful app. ### 1/5 — Poor media *2019-10-14, version 2.5* Always writing fake news which create serious issue to the community ### 1/5 — Worst news app *2019-01-27, version 2.1* Can’t open content. Ads rule the space. High time management gives a serious thought ### 1/5 — Advertisements rule the app. *2018-10-12, version 2.0* App is not even halfway from where it should be by now. Expecting better from leading news maker out there. ### 1/5 — Full of ads *2018-09-15* I have been using this app for quite a long time. This update is really annoying since it is full of ads. Need to browse through ads to read the news.

If you cannot manage the ads just make premium plan for those user who wish the read the news not to see the ads. Reporting to apple also this experience ### 1/5 — Worst App - do not install *2021-07-19* You won’t be able to read any news as ads dominate over news and each time you open news ads will automatically open safari browser. ### 1/5 — App for ads *2021-07-19* More than content the app giving importance to ads Whenever we open the app ads will appear And we can’t read single word In between news ads comes faster ### 1/5 — Adds are more than the news contents *2021-06-10* When ever we click a news content, each and every time ads are popping out.
