I admire your work in journalism and want to support your channel. However you need to fix you payment processing on website. Also I activated subscription through my iPhone, money got deducted but app still thinks that subscription is not active. I blame your iOS coder for that... Please fix it ASAP you are missing your major funding because of this. ❤️ **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for your support and apologies for the inconvenience.

Maybe it works on iPhone, but not iPad. ### 1/5 — About accessibility of your application with screen, reading software *2023-08-27* I am blind, and I use your application on iPhone with VoiceOver screen reading software I love your shows, but I am not able to use your application because of inaccessibility This is the reason that I’m not able to subscribe to that because what is the use if I’m not able to use your application properly? With this attitude, you will end up using all your listeners who are dependent upon screen. Reading software is Please make your application accessible as soon as possible **Developer response:** Hi Shubhanku, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are working on Accessibility and currently it is in beta phase. We will let you know once we launch this. ### 1/5 — App closes in background *2023-04-16* Difficult to listen to podcasts when the app close’s constantly when you pause and resume the podcast.

But it is asking for directly 1 year subscription on iPhone. There must be option of monthly subscription. Please rectify this issue then I will be able to subscribe.

You can visit our website and subscribe for monthly plans. ### 1/5 — Very basic bugs *2022-07-24* Cannot sign in with a custom domain email. **Developer response:** To rectify your issue please write us at subscription@newslaundry.com ### 1/5 — Update bug *2022-05-14* The app keeps asking me to update even after I’ve updated multiple times **Developer response:** We are in the early stages of rolling out our app and constantly fixing issues so you might see updates pop up quite frequently. Once we're stable, you won't see those pop-ups. ### 2/5 — Too many bugs *2023-07-14* Keeps logging out every-time app is killed and even if running in background. This issue is too annoying and keeps interrupting when listening podcasts. Why navigate to main page even if app is running in background? Why navigate out of app when links to other stories are clicked ? Usability of app is not satisfactory and needs fixing. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Please update your app we have fixed this issue in the new version of the app. If you have any other issues please email us on subscription@newslaundry.com ### 2/5 — New app crashes *2023-03-22* New app crashes always.

Its user-centric design effectively highlights ground reporting and satire. While some users report occasional, slow loading times, the content quality remains top-notch. It is an essential tool for those looking to support journalism that holds power accountable rather than catering to corporate interests. Highly recommended for informed, critical analysis ### 5/5 — A Revolutionary and Inclusive News Platform As a blind Assistant Professor at DK College, Chhattisg *2024-12-18* A Revolutionary and Inclusive News Platform As a blind Assistant Professor at DK College, Chhattisgarh, I’ve always believed in the power of independent journalism. One day, I had the privilege of meeting Abhinandan Sekhri, the head of NewsLaundry, and I suggested making their app and website accessible for people with disabilities. To my amazement, he not only listened but acted. Over two years, the dedicated NewsLaundry team worked tirelessly to transform their platform into one of the most accessible news apps and websites in the world. Today, I am proud to be part of this journey, constantly providing suggestions to improve accessibility further. NewsLaundry stands apart as the first news platform that runs solely on public contributions, refusing government or corporate ads to maintain its independence. And now, it also leads the way in inclusivity by being accessible to all, including people with disabilities. This app is not just a platform for news; it’s a symbol of hope, equality, and the power of collective action. Thank you, NewsLaundry, for proving that journalism can be both ethical and inclusive. ### 5/5 — feature required *2024-08-11* Need feature to cats podcast/ video through airplay/ google cast to speaker or smart tv… **Developer response:** At the moment, our platform doesn't support direct casting of podcasts to speakers or smart TVs. However, as an alternative, you can cast your mobile screen to your smart TV, allowing you to enjoy your podcasts on a larger screen. 1. To do this, you have to swipe down and go to the control panel on your phone. 2. Find the “Cast” option there and click on it. 3. On the pop-up screen, they would be able to see their TV’s name (the TV and phone should be on the same wifi network). ### 5/5 — App not working *2024-06-23* The app is not loading post 11-Jun update. Can you check ? The issue is resolved. Thank you **Developer response:** We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. As you pointed out, this is because of the recent update; we have resolved the issue. We have done a staggered releaser with the fix, where the release gets pushed to people in batches. You should either have an update option right now, or it will be available in the coming days. Once you have updated to that version, please reach out if you face any issues. Regards, ### 5/5 — Subscription problem *2024-05-09* I have been active subscriber and want to continue but god knows why each month my auto renewal gets in problem. And i get message that it failed. My other monthly subscriptions like netflix they are working fine with same payment method. I dont is it govt rules or special treatment towards news or its your system causing this issue. But when i try to subscribe you via your app it only gives yearly option so i am not able to subscribe via monthly option. Please include that in your app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

Mainstream media is dead. ### 5/5 — More subscription options on app *2023-10-01* I want to support you but there is only one subscription option on the app. It is convenient to buy subscriptions from apple wallet quickly. If possible, please include all subscriptions options and donations options on the app. Otherwise, amazing app and amazing news. Thank you! **Developer response:** On the iOS app, we have only an annual disruptor plan due to some technical restrictions on multiple plans from Apple's end. ### 5/5 — Praise *2023-06-10* Nice going team. Keep going like this. **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you so much for your support and for encouraging words. ### 5/5 — Fabulous! *2023-04-15* Remember this is a subscription based initiative. Remember they do NOT have any support like our legacy media walas have. Now look at the app! It works flawlessly and supports multiple devices. The iPad app looks gorgeous and works exactly like the iPhone app. Much love, support and power your way, NL Team! Go Big! **Developer response:** Hi Rohwit, thank you so much for your support and kind words.
