But it is not performing well . We expect smooth swipe ### 4/5 — Bug Fixing needed *2022-03-19, version 4.0.10* Hi, first of all, thank you for this wonderful app as Highly leading newspaper. Sometimes, there are some options which do not work properly. Like, when I do check meaning of any word through look up, this app do not work, after that I need to restart this app every time. Could you please look into it? ### 4/5 — Search option *2021-07-27, version 4.0.10* Couldn’t find it. ### 5/5 — Best News App Bangladesh *2020-07-23, version 4.0.10* News quality, app features are really amazing. More importantly read aloud option is just a unique feature. ### 4/5 — Excellent *2020-07-06* Very friendly . Love this app . Awaiting development of this by time . ### 3/5 — Fonts too large *2020-05-16, version 4.0.10* The font adjustment for the iPad app is very bad. The app itself is fine but the fonts are much larger than any reader can handle. It’s an easy fix so please fix this soon. ### 3/5 — Bug issues *2020-05-10, version 4.0.10* Hello The best part of the app is, it is AD free. But few bugs during loading the page or news. But over all satisfied with the app. Of course, prothom alo and Daily Star are best in country. But wish to see more updates... Thanks ### 3/5 — A fine app for news *2019-04-21, version 4.0.10* I have one complaint on iPad. The fact that it has no landscape support. People use Bluetooth keyboards with their iPads in landscape mode. I hope that feature is added. ### 3/5 — Updates appearing late *2019-03-10, version 4.0.10* Updates in this app are appearing minutes later than the website. ### 5/5 — It’s responsive in my 5s *2018-12-18* Nice apps ### 3/5 — This app is so laggy! *2018-12-09, version 4.0.8* This UI is nice. I like it but most of the time it show 'couldn’t connect to server ' and it takes too much time to loading news. I hope this app developers consider this problem and make it better. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t copy words *2026-01-02, version 4.2.1* You can’t copy any words from the article ### 1/5 — Requires ameliorating! *2022-06-21, version 4.1.5* Some crucial suggestions: Update your iOS app so that we can easily switch to dark mode from the settings of the app rather than depending on our holistic iOS dark mode. And kindly bring back the option to select any word and search for the meaning/thesaurus on the internet like before. After your new update we can only select and copy the word but no option to look up for the definition/meaning/thesaurus. Please kindly bring that option back. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Word selection by tap not working! *2022-04-19, version 4.1.1* Word/ paragraph selection for look up and other functionality not working after updating!
