Currently it shuts done when changing category ### 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 ### 2/5 — Subscription fails *2023-03-06* I subscribed on my iPhone, but when I try and open it on my iPad it wants another subscription, even though in settings it shows I have a subscription.

Thanks ### 2/5 — Too opinionated and poor user experience *2020-06-25* There are too many articles that aren’t meant to be opinion pieces yet end up resembling one far too much. Unless it is an opinion piece, I just want the news and the facts. Let the reader decide how to think, like how journalism is supposed to be. The only reason I still have this app is because it provides english content about Indonesia. Other than that, the design and overall experience can be greatly improved and if you need help then please reach out. ### 4/5 — Crash *2020-06-24* The application keeps on crashing on Iphone X after reading the news for a while. Really love the news written in here.

When I go to app support it loses. I’ve tried to get some support without success ### 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. ### 1/5 — Tubuh berita tidak muncul *2022-05-14, version 1.2.2* Tubuh berita tidak muncul di ponsel saya (iPhone SE 3). ### 1/5 — I only can read the news title and picture *2021-08-15, version 1.1.7* I am a premium subscriber that using iphone 6s.

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. ### 5/5 — Keep Improving! *2024-05-15, version 1.5.5* I can open all the features smoothly! ### 5/5 — no landscape mode *2021-07-09, version 1.1.6* love the dark mode, but it will be better if there’s landscape mode ### 5/5 — Bagus bangett *2018-10-07, version 1.0.2* Mantul🔥🔥🔥🔥 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2018-03-27, version 1.0.2* One and only english media in Indonesia ### 4/5 — Landscape mode untuk iPad OS *2023-01-02, version 1.3.3* Sangat disayangkan belum ada mode lanskap di iPad, padahal akan lebih nyaman membaca e-post dalam mode lanskap. ### 4/5 — Landscape mode *2022-05-24, version 1.2.2* Tolong tambahkan landscape mode dong buat ipad ### 4/5 — Landscape mode *2022-01-04, version 1.1.9* Mohon menambahkan dukungan mode landscape untuk penggunaan di iPad. ### 4/5 — OK *2020-06-29, version 1.0.9* Good but the app can’t filter news based on Jakarta or Indonesian only news as the website allows.
