### 1/5 — App does not even open

*2020-07-18*

Surprised how this app is even launched on app store. On opening the app, it stays forever on a blank page with just the title and categories of news. Possibly they forgot to remove the app from the app store.

### 1/5 — Not even opening

*2020-04-26*

As a software professional, I am surprised that how such application can be released which is not even opening. Please make it open on iOS if you want people to rate it fairly.

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2020-04-16*

On opening it says no network and not been able to open once, deleting the app

### 1/5 — Nothing to start

*2020-04-08*

On opening the application, it says your system is offline; whereas I'm able to play movies online
