Baahrakhari brings the live news feed of baahrakhari.com to your iPhone and iPad, redesigned for fast reading in clean Devanagari typography. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Swipe through the latest headlines across every Baahrakhari section (पछिल्ला, राजनीति, अर्थ, खेल, विचार, देश, साहित्य, सम्पादकीय, विदेश). • Home shows Top News, a ताजा strip, then every section from the burger menu. • Tap any article to read the full story in a calm, single-column layout. Share from the reader; long-press a Top News headline to save it. • Pinch to zoom the Nepali body type to whatever size is comfortable. • Save articles for later; saved stories open instantly even when offline. • Light and dark modes from the burger menu (theme control at the bottom). • Optional gentle reminders when fresh top stories arrive (off by default). WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Built around how Nepali readers actually read — no autoplay video, no pop-ups, no third-party ad networks. Home may show a few static house banners from baahrakhari.com; they never cover the article you are reading. • Tablet-optimised on iPad: bigger type and comfortable padding. iPad keeps a glass-style next-article button for long reading sessions. • Respects your data: all preferences stay on your device. No account, no login, no tracking SDKs. ABOUT Baahrakhari (बाह्रखरी) is one of Nepal's established online news outlets. This app is the official mobile companion of baahrakhari.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Baahrakhari at none against The Kathmandu Post's shown. The Kathmandu Post's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
