### 2/5 — Upset about Font

*2020-12-28*

Amazed to see thr Zawgyi font is still being used by VOA,the famous media giant, while most of Myanmar people dont use this font any longer.
Please  convert this into Unicode font and fix it asap if you care about the reviews as to this issue

### 3/5 — Font problem solved

*2020-10-22*

I highly wish to get Unicode. But if you have problem with Zawgyi font, you need to scroll down to the end. You will see “ website “ tab under “ Social “. If you tab that one, it can bring to VOA website within App. That is completely Unicode. You can also choose other languages. Enjoy 😃

Unicode ရချင်ပါတယ်  သို့သော်သင် Zawgyi စာလုံးပြဿနာရှိပါကအဆုံးသို့ scroll လုပ်ရန်လိုအပ်သည်။  "Social" အောက်ရှိ "website" tab ကိုတွေ့လိမ့်မည်။  VOA ဝက်ဘ်ဆိုက်သို့သယ်ဆောင်နိုင်သည်။  ဒါကလုံးဝ Unicode ဖြစ်ပါတယ်။  သင်သည်အခြားဘာသာစကားများကိုလည်းရွေးချယ်နိုင်သည်။  joy ခံစားပါ

### 1/5 — Please switch to Unicode font

*2020-04-24*

Please switch to Unicode fonts. I can’t read this font and it’s very frustrating, especially since VOA used to have a great, simple app that allowed you to switch back and forth between languages and displayed Burmese letters correctly on my iPhone. I don’t understand why that version of the app disappeared.
