### 1/5 — Failed login with Apple Id

### 5/5 — Generational NewsPaper

*2025-06-11, version 1.6.18*

My Dad used to read the JP. Now I do too. The only news company i subscribe to is JakartaPost, although my mother subscribes to something else even more local, so we share notes sometimes. JP’s the only one for me tho.

### 1/5 — Poor performance

*2025-02-08, version 1.6.10*

When I try to change category from Latest to say Indonesia, the app closes. When I go to app support it loses. I’ve tried to get some support without success

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2024-11-21*

The app always has issues. Currently it shuts done when changing category

### 5/5 — Keep Improving!

*2024-05-15, version 1.5.5*

I can open all the features smoothly!

### 2/5 — Difficult to use

*2024-05-03*

This news app reloads the home page every time you have finished reading an article. So you jump back to the top of the home page and lose the place in the home page you had read headlines up to. Poor usability.

### 3/5 — Setelah diinstall ulang, tidak bisa dibuka

*2024-05-02, version 1.5.4*

Setelah saya install ulang dan login dengan akun, justru tdak bisa dibuka aplikasinya.

### 3/5 — Bub

*2024-03-17*

You can’t share articles as the app crashes when you hit the share button.

### 2/5 — Can’t open the e-post

*2023-05-07, version 1.3.3*

I’ve bought the premium subscription, but can’t open the e-post, it won’t download

### 1/5 — Need urgent improvement

*2023-05-02*

Dear Team, 
I am using the latest Iphone, latest version and updated app. 
If you try to read e-paper and zoom into an article, touch/ swipe down or right in order to continue text, it‘s automatically swipe to the next page, instead for the dedicated part of the same page.

That‘s most inconvenient way to read. I already contacted your team, unfortunately no respond.
