What people like
- Enormous collection of Urdu literature.
- Helps understand word meanings easily.
- Great for discovering new poetry.
What they complain about
- New update ruins the simple interface.
- App crashes frequently when opening poems.
- Hard to find poets without searching.
- No option to set default language.
Landscape mode on iPad app - pleeaaase :)
Can we please have landscape mode on iPad
Language change option missing
Very poor interface after upgrade. Please revert to old one. There is no option to set default language. Once it was one of a kind, now it just provides content with pics for social media status
Look into bugs
Appreciate this app so much for poetry lovers man but only if it was convenient to use it would’ve be great. So many glitches snd bugs and funny how i cant even t Open the app anymore after the update. And a few poets like Harivansh rai bacchan and such are missing.
Doesn’t meet the expectations
Like before no sayar list this is too much disappointing, no ipad version of app , it seems like devloper want to make it like instagram where shorts run. This time this app doesn’t connect the reader with rekhta spirit.pls make sure that reader have option to select poets from list as it will give access to readers to explore deep in poetry. Personalised home page limit the reader to a few poets which is injustice to the Rekhta contributors.
“Read in app” option doesn’t work
The search inside app isn’t great. So i search on Google and then access the website. from the website, i expect to go to the app by clicking the “read in app” option. However the link redirects to App Store and not the app. Response to developer response: 1. Search inside the app has issues. you don’t always know the exact words of the poem you want to search. So you search through estimation. And Google gives you the result. The app doesn’t. Ex. I searched “hazaaron daleelin aisi” on app, and it gave absurd results but the google search gave me the rekhta link to “hazaaron khwaishein aisi” as the top result. 2. The “read in app” option shouldn’t take me to app store if the app is already installed. It should take me to the poem in the app where I can save/like/bookmark it. For ex. If someone sends you an Instagram link and it opens on the web browser, clicking on the “open in app” option leads to that reel/post on Instagram, it doesn’t take me to Instagram if it is already installed. And that is how it should be. Why take me to App Store if I already have the app?

About New Update
Update Is Really Very Good With New Features like Following Option And The Ui Is Really Very Osm I Love It But I Think App Works A Little Bit Slow Otherwise The Update Is Really Something Impressive
bring back the classic
I have been a loyal reader on Rekhta for a long time, but the new update with the scroll-type layout is very disappointing. The old style was simple, elegant, and much easier to navigate. This new "feed" style feels cluttered and makes it harder to find the specific poets and ghazals I love. My Request to the Developers: 1. Please bring back the Old Classic Style as the default. 2. If you want to keep the new scroll layout, please give us a "Classic Mode" toggle in the settings so we can choose the layout we prefer. The old tab system was perfect for a serious reader. If the UI stays this chaotic, I’m afraid you will lose many long-time readers like me. Please listen to your community!
Latest update
The latest update is annoying as all the saved collections are now not categorised. Previously ghazal, nazm, sher et cetra were saved under their particular headings not everything just under one. It’s difficult to find what I want. Undo this menace.
not made for tablets
I am a regular user on the small screen but with a bit of altered vision wanted to try it on an iPad but unfortunately it is not designed for bigger screens. Request Team Rekhta to consider this request. Beyond this, Rekhta is a BIG part of life.
Last update is evil
That rekhta font. Style and everything has gone. Give us back that experience. And don’t use images for shers.
Audio not working
On iOS, the audio functionality is not working.
Recent update changes
The latest update made the app so inaccessible. We can't vhange the dedault language, it is set to English by dedault. Earlier we could chabge the default language. Now we have to preview eveeything in english. Then click on ghazal to change the language.
update review
honestly, the app was better before update…
Merge Rekhta Dictionary Fully into Rekhta App
Great app with amazing Urdu poetry. One suggestion: please merge all features of the Rekhta Dictionary into the main Rekhta app. The current dictionary inside Rekhta is limited, and switching between two apps is inconvenient. A single app with full dictionary support would be much better for users.
Search& saved
This app search system is very bad Now the saved option is too bad no filters like time,type It very hard to use this app
पुस्तकें ख़रीदने और कुछ राशि का अंशदान करने
इस ऐप की दो मुश्किलों का समाधान नहीं कर सका । ऊपर लिखे गए दोनों कार्यों के लिए UPI नहीं खुलता । अंत: मार्गदर्शन करें ।
Ipad incompatible app
The app is incompatible on the ipad interface. The UI is mobile design, the text is too small to read even when it’s enlarged and in landscape mode.
Problem
There is no list of poets like it was available in previous version we only have to search with name. Like All poets young poet list and classical poets list
Update issue
Since last update we need to change script every time. Kindly give it in settings
Worst update
बहुत ही वाहियात अपडेट है ये पुराना वाला ही सबसे अच्छा था हर चीज़ को देखने के लिए बार बार हिंदी चुनो
Rhymes missing
I just instait for rhyme words as it was showing in web browser bt in app its more about shyari not rhyme words in list.
New update
New update is so bad please make how it was
Updated UI of your application.
Dear developers, This version is quite irritating, unresponsive, and complicated to navigate. #This might be the worst version of all previous versions of this application. # At least restore the option to **CHOOSE THE LANGUAGE ON THE COVERPAGE** of your application as it used to be in the previous version. #Make it more user-friendly. Thank you.
Love it!!
I don’t usually do reviews for apps but I am so grateful for the existence of this one. Not only has it an enormous collection of urdu literature, but also it’s available in 3 languages, the meanings of all words are readily available, and the UI of the app is also very user friendly especially after the new update. Love the app!!
What is this update ?
I have been using this app for quite long… suddenly you have updated the app. Earlier I had option to choose Hin-Eng-Urd Now I can’t find that option anywhere. That should be on the home page.
E-books
Plz can you add e books to the mobile app because i am not able to see them on the app i have to login to website so please kindly help with tjis
Worse than Earlier
Previous one was better. You could select language for all the article now you have to do it individually. And earlier they used to show a few shayari on top now they don’t.
Better to worse.
Something has been changed better to worse , I was using app in Urdu now I can’t figure it out how to get back in Urdu / so many things are disappeared, now using web page instead of app.
पहले वाला version ज़्यादा सुविधाजनक, easy to operate था
But even this seems to be loaded with better facilities …
Is there an option to roll back to the previous version?
Although change is inevitable, bringing change just for the sake of it is foolish. The intuitiveness, ease of use, and no-nonsense interface of the old version were excellent, but I suppose you had to replace it with whatever this current, stinking piece of garbage is. I don’t want to go into details, but this one gets me every time- I loved that small toggle in some shers that let you jump to the ghazal it belonged to. Now it’s gone. Why?
App crashes
I am a great admirer of everything Rekhta has done to promote Urdu, but the app consistently crashes anytime one taps on a word to know its meaning. I have a new IPad and have updated to IOS 16, installed and uninstalled the app, and.nothing works. I cant send a screenshot because there is no error message. The app just closes. If there is a way to fix this, please do.
Unable to switch on the Hindi version
Unable to switch on the Hindi version
Good Content, Poor App
I use the App on my iPhone Xs. After the last update, the font size has reduced and it’s difficult to read. In addition, some of the gazals and pages doesn’t open, just a blank page. My native language is Urdu and I want to improve it and Rekhta is a great platform to learn. I would request to put some effort on the technical side. Thanks!
Discover poetry
Help me discover and understand poetry in a way that I did not know was even possible.
Irritatating app
It’s the most irritating app i have ever used. Every time I install or update, it is asking for re-login, when I try to do the same it is not responding 🧐
All good except font issues
All is good and I love using the app. If possible please add option to increase font. Reading nastaliq and Devanagari in small font is really hard
The irritating update
The update is so annoying rekhta was better before please make as it was Unable to find prose and more
Urdu nasar
Urdu nasar cannot be read on this app as the words appear in opposite direction. Please check and fix this bug. Thanks.
अंदाज़ ए बयां
ज़िंदगी है गोया चर्चा ए फ़ितरत ए करामात ए महबूब. होत ही क्या हमसे उनका जलवा न ग़र बयां होता.
Review
After update bad experience, all the options are not good. Bad interference, do it again in old version
Like it but it’s not working well for me
For last few days, every time I try to open a ghazal the app closes abruptly. I uninstalled and reinstalled, still the same issue. App is good, content is good.
New Update not that great
The latest update of this is having lots of issues like i am not able to search many poets even though they are there but in search it is not showing i have to search online then from site of rekhta it is redirected to app so it should be fixed
Crashing Issues
Everytime I try to open a ghazal with my iphone 11, the app crashes down. More so, I can not even open it now, it simply crashes. It is of no use to me. Kindly fix the issue.
Rekhta
रेख़्ता ऐप बहुत ही कमाल की ऐप है जिसमे उर्दू अरबी शब्द के हिंदी में अनुवाद करके बताया जाता है और सायरी गज़ल और उर्दू लेखकों के बारे में और उनकी रचनाओं से इस ऐप के माध्यम से जान सकते है
Read the reviews and fix the app
It was such a good app and the latest ios update has ruined it completely. Please bring back the previous version.
