We all want justice for the victims, but timing this story is pure propaganda. The same people stay silent on bengal, Karnataka, kerala, HP and pin drop silent in Malabar case. Why no FOS for Vijay?

It’s so annoying when you are trying to read the news. The same ad appears twice in an article plus it is on the main page of the app too.. I mean really, am I being forced to see the ad? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good news app *2023-03-22* Latest version of this app is very smooth and fast. ### 5/5 — Top page is blank *2021-06-27* Using this app for 5 years but now facing a problem of front page.
